Product Overview
The Cold 10 Nitrile Sandy Liquid Repellent Glove represents a significant advancement in hand protection for those working in unforgiving environments. Designed to tackle the dual challenges of moisture and low temperatures, this glove ensures that liquid—be it water or heavy oil—simply rolls off the surface rather than penetrating the fabric. This keeps the wearer’s hands dry and protected, which is often half the battle on a British building site in November.
Key Features
- Innovative Liquid Repellency: By ensuring water and oils roll off the surface, the glove prevents saturation and keeps the underlying skin protected from contaminants.
- Twin Liner System: The dual-layer design creates an insulating pocket of air to trap heat while maintaining essential breathability to prevent perspiration build-up.
- Sandy Palm Finish: This textured surface provides a high level of friction, allowing for a secure grip on tools and materials, even when they are coated in slippery fluids.
- Elasticated Construction: Using a blend of polyester and elastic, the glove offers a secure, flexible fit that moves with the hand to reduce fatigue during long shifts.
Design & Performance
The performance of the AP02 is rooted in its material composition, combining polyester, elastic, and acrylic to create a glove that is both durable and comfortable. The sandy nitrile finish on the palm is not merely for aesthetics; it provides a micro-textured surface that bites into oily or wet surfaces, offering the kind of control that standard smooth gloves lack.
Furthermore, the twin liner is a thoughtful addition for those working in cold climates. The acrylic component provides a soft, warm interior that shields the hands from the bite of the wind, while the outer layers remain robust enough to handle the rigours of manual labour without sacrificing manual dexterity. Despite the substantial protection offered, the glove remains lightweight enough to allow for natural hand movement.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Cold 10 Nitrile Sandy Liquid Repellent Glove because the integrity of the repellent coating is paramount. Applying heat-pressed transfers or embroidery would puncture or compromise the specialized surface, allowing liquids and cold air to bypass the protective barriers. To ensure these gloves perform exactly as the manufacturer intended, we provide them in their original, high-performance state.
Use Cases
These gloves are an excellent choice for professionals in the oil and gas industry, outdoor construction, and utilities maintenance. They are particularly effective for anyone handling wet or oily components in cold storage or during the winter months, where maintaining a steady grip and warm hands is a safety requirement rather than a luxury.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, aim for a fit that is snug but does not restrict blood flow, as a proper fit is crucial for maintaining the thermal benefits of the twin liner. If you are between sizes, consider the nature of your task; precision work benefits from a tighter fit, whereas general handling may allow for a slightly larger size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance liquid-repellent properties of these gloves, we recommend a gentle cleaning approach. Avoid using aggressive chemical detergents or bleach, as these can strip away the nitrile treatment and weaken the fibres of the twin liner, leading to a loss of protection.
After use in wet or oily conditions, wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Placing them on a radiator can cause the nitrile coating to become brittle and crack, which will significantly reduce the lifespan and effectiveness of your hand protection.
