Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A145 Cold Grip Glove is designed for adults working in cold environments who need to maintain hand warmth, grip, and dexterity. Its key benefit is providing excellent protection against contact cold hazards while ensuring a secure hold on tools and materials. A potential caveat is that the primary focus is on cold protection and grip, which might be less suitable for tasks requiring extreme tactile sensitivity.

FAQs

What level of cold protection do these gloves offer?

The Portwest A145 Cold Grip Glove provides Level 2 contact cold protection, thanks to its warm 7-gauge acrylic liner.

Are these gloves suitable for handling wet materials?

Yes, the crinkle latex finish is designed to provide an excellent grip on objects, even when they are wet or the conditions are damp.

Can I use these gloves for tasks requiring fine motor skills?

The palm-dipped design and crinkle latex finish enhance dexterity, making them suitable for many tasks. However, for extremely delicate operations, the texture might be a consideration.

How should I clean my A145 gloves?

You can hand wash them with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.

Are these gloves unisex?

Yes, the Portwest A145 Cold Grip Gloves are designed for unisex adult use.

What does '7 gauge' refer to in the liner?

'7 gauge' refers to the density of the knit of the acrylic liner. A higher gauge typically means a finer, denser knit, contributing to better insulation and a more comfortable fit.

What certifications do these gloves have?

These gloves are CE certified and UKCA marked, indicating compliance with relevant European and UK safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to sizing charts if available. A slightly snug fit is normal initially as the liner may conform to your hand shape over time.

Reduced grip after prolonged use

Clean the glove surface with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting the latex grip. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.

Hands still feel cold

Verify that the gloves are fully intact and show no signs of damage. For extremely severe cold, consider layering with a thinner liner glove if space allows, though these gloves are designed for significant cold protection on their own.

Latex finish peeling

This may indicate excessive wear or exposure to harsh chemicals. Inspect for damage and consider replacement if the protective coating is compromised.
