Portwest Anti-Vibration Impact 10 Glove

Product Overview

The Portwest Anti-Vibration Impact 10 Glove is a specialised piece of personal protective equipment designed to address the physical toll of high-intensity manual work. These gloves are engineered to mitigate the effects of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and provide a barrier against mechanical impacts, ensuring your most valuable tools—your hands—remain functional and protected during the most demanding tasks. After all, you will likely want your hands in good working order for the more important tasks of the day, such as holding a tea mug without a tremor.

Key Features

• Anti-vibration properties: Significantly reduces the transmission of harmful frequencies to the hands, helping to prevent long-term nerve and vascular damage during prolonged tool use.

• Impact protection: Offers a physical buffer against strikes and scrapes, reducing the risk of workplace injuries in high-risk industrial environments.

• Unisex design: Provides a professional and consistent fit for all members of the workforce, ensuring everyone has access to the same level of protection.

• Professional black finish: A practical colour choice that maintains a clean appearance even when working in dusty or oily conditions.

Design & Performance

Constructed with a focus on durability and safety, these gloves are built to withstand the rigours of industrial environments. The design prioritises a secure grip and dexterity, which are often compromised in lower-quality safety gloves. By balancing protection with flexibility, they allow for precise movements while maintaining a substantial barrier between the wearer and heavy machinery or vibrating tools. The materials used are chosen for their resilience, ensuring that the glove does not lose its protective qualities after a single day on site.

Why No Customisation?

This item is sold as-is, without customisation. These are high-performance safety gloves where the structural integrity of the material is paramount. Adding embroidery or printing could compromise the anti-vibration padding or the protective layers, potentially reducing their effectiveness as personal protective equipment. We prioritise your safety and the technical performance of the garment over branding for this specific item.

Use Cases

These gloves are an essential requirement for tradespeople operating jackhammers, pneumatic drills, or heavy industrial machinery. They are equally suited for demolition experts, groundworkers, and anyone exposed to repetitive impact or significant mechanical vibration throughout their working day.

Why MyWorkwear

MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for UK businesses since 1976. Based in Telford, our decades of expertise allow us to select only the most reliable equipment for our customers. We understand that your gear isn't just a uniform—it is a vital component of your daily safety and productivity.

Practical Advice

When selecting your size—available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large—ensure a snug but comfortable fit. A glove that is too loose may not effectively dampen vibrations, while one that is too tight can restrict circulation, which is counterproductive when trying to maintain hand health. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to maintain full range of motion.

Caring for your product

Maintaining your safety gloves is essential for ensuring they continue to provide the level of protection required on-site. We recommend regular inspections for signs of wear or damage to the padding and outer shell, as physical degradation can impair the glove's ability to absorb shocks.

Failure to inspect your equipment regularly can lead to a decrease in vibration dampening, which may leave you vulnerable to the very injuries the gloves are designed to prevent. Keeping them dry and stored away from direct sunlight when not in use will help preserve the integrity of the specialised materials.
