Product Overview
The Cold 10 Latex Crinkle Glove is a robust solution for professionals operating in challenging outdoor environments where temperature and grip are constant variables. Designed to bridge the gap between thermal comfort and industrial performance, this glove utilizes a textured finish to provide confidence during heavy-duty tasks. Whether you are handling building materials in the frost or managing refuse collection in the early hours, these gloves are engineered to keep the hands functional and protected.
Key Features
Thermal Acrylic Liner: The 10-gauge liner acts as an insulating barrier, trapping heat close to the skin to ensure dexterity isn't lost to the cold.
Latex Crinkle Finish: This specialized coating provides a superior surface area for grip, allowing for the secure handling of both wet and dry objects.
Heavy Duty Construction: Built to withstand the rigours of maintenance and transportation work, the materials are selected for their resilience against abrasion.
Elasticated Wrist: The inclusion of elastic ensures a secure fit that prevents debris from entering the glove while maintaining a comfortable seal around the arm.
Design & Performance
The architecture of the A140 relies on a blend of acrylic, polyester, and elastic to create a glove that is as flexible as it is warm. The 10-gauge knit is substantial enough to offer physical protection without being so bulky that it hinders fine motor skills. The latex crinkle coating is strategically applied to the palm and fingers, where mechanical stress is highest, ensuring that the glove performs consistently throughout its lifespan. Despite its sturdy build, the glove remains a lightweight hand protection option that won't cause fatigue during long shifts.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise the safety and functionality of your PPE. This specific glove is sold without customisation because it is a safety-critical item. Applying embroidery would puncture the protective liner and the latex coating, compromising the thermal integrity and the physical barrier of the glove. Furthermore, heat-applied transfers often fail to adhere correctly to the crinkled latex surface and could interfere with the grip performance required for heavy-duty tasks.
Use Cases
These gloves are a staple for local authority workers, particularly those in refuse collection and outdoor maintenance. They are equally effective in the construction and transportation sectors, where workers are frequently exposed to the elements and require a reliable grip on tools, machinery, or cargo. If your role involves handling cold materials in damp conditions, these are the appropriate choice.

Practical Advice
To get the most out of your thermal gloves, ensure you select a size that allows for a small pocket of air at the fingertips; this air acts as additional insulation. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend sizing up to avoid over-stretching the acrylic fibres, which can thin the material and reduce its thermal efficiency.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves, it is important to treat the materials with care. While these are designed for heavy use, excessive heat can damage the latex coating, causing it to become brittle or lose its grip.
If the gloves become soiled, a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water is recommended. Avoid using strong chemical bleaches, as these will degrade the polyester and elastic components, leading to a loss of shape and structural failure. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the latex to crack.
