Product Overview
The Cold 10 Latex Foam Glove is an essential piece of hand protection designed specifically for those operating in demanding, low-temperature environments. When the temperature drops, maintaining manual dexterity and grip becomes a significant challenge; these gloves address that issue directly. By combining a thermal-ready construction with a specialised foamed latex coating, they ensure that your hands remain warm without sacrificing the tactile sensitivity required for precise tasks.
Key Features
- Foamed Latex Dip: The palm-dipped foamed latex provides a porous surface that offers extreme breathability, preventing moisture build-up inside the glove while ensuring a secure hold on tools and materials.
- Superior Grip Performance: Whether working in damp or bone-dry conditions, the textured surface of the latex coating delivers reliable traction, reducing the risk of accidental slips and drops.
- Soft-to-the-Touch Finish: Despite its industrial capabilities, the interior and exterior remain soft, which significantly enhances wearer comfort during long shifts.
- Cold Environment Optimisation: Engineered specifically for cold protection, the materials used help retain natural body heat, making them a staple for winter or refrigerated work.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of the Cold 10 Glove lies in its latex foam technology. Unlike traditional solid latex dips, which can feel stiff and trap heat uncomfortably, the foamed variant creates a micro-porous structure. This allows air to circulate more freely, keeping the skin dry while the lightweight fabric provides a thermal barrier. The yellow and black colour scheme is not merely aesthetic; the high-visibility yellow improves hand awareness in low-light conditions, while the black palm helps to mask the inevitable accumulation of dirt and grease.
In terms of performance, the glove is remarkably flexible. The lightweight fabric construction ensures that the wearer does not feel encumbered, allowing for the fine motor control necessary when handling small components or operating machinery in cold stores.
Why No Customisation?
As these gloves are categorised as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for hand protection, we do not offer customisation or branding on this item. Adding embroidery or heat-applied prints can compromise the integrity of the protective coating and the underlying fabric, potentially reducing the glove's thermal properties or its physical resistance. To ensure your safety and the longevity of the product's performance, they are supplied in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals working in cold storage facilities, logistics hubs, and outdoor construction sites during the winter months. They are also highly effective for grounds maintenance and agricultural work where a combination of warmth and a dependable grip is required to handle wet equipment safely.

Practical Advice
To ensure maximum dexterity, it is important to select the correct size. A glove that is too large will result in a loss of grip precision, while one that is too small can restrict circulation, which is particularly detrimental in cold environments. When working in extreme sub-zero conditions, these gloves can be paired with a thin thermal liner, though the foamed latex design is typically sufficient for standard cold-weather tasks.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your gloves is vital for ensuring they continue to provide the necessary grip and protection. We recommend a gentle hand wash or a very light machine cycle at a low temperature to remove surface contaminants without degrading the latex foam.
Avoid using any form of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will break down the molecular structure of the latex, leading to cracking and a loss of grip efficiency. When drying, always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the latex to become brittle and lose its flexibility, which will ultimately shorten the lifespan of your hand protection.
