FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the breathable leather construction is designed to keep hands comfortable and prevent overheating in mild to hot climates, making them suitable for warm conditions.

Can I use these gloves for protection against sharp objects?

These gloves offer good abrasion resistance (ANSI Level 5) but are not specifically designed to protect against sharp cuts or punctures. For tasks involving significant sharp object risks, consider specialized cut-resistant gloves.

How durable are the Portwest A260 Oves Driver Gloves?

They are constructed with high-quality goat leather and a reinforced palm, providing significant durability for general work tasks and good resistance to abrasion.

What is the primary benefit of the elasticated cuffs?

The elasticated cuffs ensure a secure and snug fit, preventing the gloves from slipping down during use and helping to keep dust and debris out.

How should I clean and maintain these leather gloves?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and air dry away from heat. Avoid soaking. Regular use of a leather conditioner can help maintain suppleness.

Are these gloves certified for safety?

Yes, they are CE certified and meet EN 388: 2016 + A1: 2018 (2132X) and ANSI/ISEA 105: 2016 Abrasion Level 5 standards, indicating reliable protection against mechanical risks.

What type of leather is used in these gloves?

They are crafted from high-quality goat leather, known for its softness, strength, and natural breathability.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them for a short period; the leather may stretch slightly with use. If still uncomfortable, consider a larger size.

Hands still feel warm in hot conditions

While breathable, extreme heat can still cause warmth. Ensure there are no tight-fitting liners and that the gloves are not excessively soiled, which can impede breathability.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for work gloves to restore suppleness. Avoid using oils or waxes not intended for this type of leather.

Seams coming apart

Minor wear may occur over time. For small issues, a leather repair adhesive might be a temporary fix. For significant seam damage, the gloves may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit; they should not be too tight or too loose.

Compatibility: The Portwest A260 Oves Driver Gloves are designed for general work tasks. They are compatible with most hand tools and machinery. They are not intended for use with heavy power tools requiring impact protection or for handling hazardous chemicals.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the leather's condition. Avoid folding them sharply.
