Specialist Gloves

Special gloves for specific risks

Some activities require protection that standard gloves do not provide. This category brings together models designed for a specific risk: all are certified to EN 388 and several add cut, thermal or vibration protection.

Anti-vibration EN ISO 10819

EN ISO 10819 measures how much the glove reduces vibration transmitted to the hand. It is suited to people who use breakers, impact drivers, grinders or sanders for long periods. The glove does not eliminate the risk: it should be combined with low-vibration tools and scheduled breaks.

Needle puncture resistance

Needle puncture-resistant gloves are designed for waste collection, waste handling and cleaning, where a hidden needle may be encountered. The EN 388 puncture value is measured with a point thicker than a needle: for this risk, assess the performance declared on the individual model's product page.

Arc flash and fingerless gloves

Flame-retardant arc flash gloves, with cut levels from C to F, are intended for maintenance staff working on switchboards and electrical installations: the protection level is shown on the product page. Fingerless mechanic gloves leave the fingers free for fine work, but they remain exposed. For knocks to the back of the hand see impact gloves, for cuts cut-resistant gloves; the full range is in work gloves.
