Product Overview
Working with high-impact machinery requires more than just a steady hand; it requires the correct protective equipment to mitigate the physical toll on your body. The Anti-Vibration 10 Rubber Chloroprene Glove is a specialist piece of hand protection specifically engineered to dampen the effects of impact and vibration during heavy-duty tasks. Whether you are operating a jackhammer or managing a concrete breaker, these gloves provide a necessary buffer between your hands and the intense kinetic energy of your tools.
Key Features
- Vibration Reduction: Specially designed to absorb and dissipate the shocks generated by power tools, helping to protect the user from long-term vibratory damage.
- Superior Dexterity: Despite their protective qualities, these gloves allow for excellent levels of movement, ensuring you remain in full control of your equipment at all times.
- Enhanced Comfort: Designed for extended wear, the interior construction reduces hand fatigue during long shifts in demanding environments.
- Rubber Chloroprene Coating: This material provides a robust barrier that is both durable and effective at dampening repetitive impacts.
Design & Performance
The construction of this glove utilises a blend of polyester and elastic to create a foundation that is both flexible and resilient. The lightweight fabric ensures that the glove conforms to the hand without being overly bulky, which is essential when precise tool operation is required. The standout feature is the Rubber Chloroprene coating, which is specifically chosen for its energy-absorption properties.
In terms of performance, these gloves act as a vital safety barrier. By reducing the frequency and intensity of vibrations reaching the hands and arms, they assist in maintaining operational safety and user health over time. The fit is secure, thanks to the elastic components, ensuring the gloves stay in place even when subjected to the violent movements of a jackhammer or concrete breaker.
Why No Customisation?
As a specialist piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation on these gloves. The integrity of the Rubber Chloroprene layer and the specific weave of the polyester/elastic base are critical to their vibration-dampening performance. Applying embroidery or heat-applied prints could compromise the protective qualities of the material or create potential snag hazards, which is a risk we are not prepared to take with your safety equipment.
Use Cases
These gloves are the primary choice for professionals in construction, demolition, and road maintenance. They are particularly suited for operators using jackhammers, concrete breakers, and heavy-duty power drills. If your daily work involves repetitive high-impact tool usage, these gloves are an essential addition to your safety kit.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm and fingers. A loose-fitting anti-vibration glove can lead to reduced control of the tool, which is a significant safety concern. We recommend checking the condition of the chloroprene coating regularly; if the material begins to thin or crack, it is time to replace them to ensure continued protection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your anti-vibration gloves, proper care is essential. Keeping the materials clean ensures they remain supple and effective at absorbing shocks for as long as possible.
We recommend a gentle hand wash or a light wipe with a damp cloth to remove grit and construction debris. Avoid using bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners, as these can break down the Rubber Chloroprene, leading to a loss of the very vibration-dampening properties you rely on. Similarly, these should be air-dried away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle and prone to cracking.
