Product Overview
The Cold 15 Nitrile Sandy 3/4 Dipped Glove is a sophisticated solution for professionals operating in challenging thermal environments. This glove is engineered to manage two extremes: it provides substantial insulation against the cold while offering contact heat protection for temperatures up to 250°C. By combining a thermal twin-liner with a durable nitrile coating, this glove ensures that your hands remain protected and warm without sacrificing the dexterity required for precise manual tasks.
Key Features
- Thermal Twin Liner: The integrated dual-layer lining effectively traps air to provide superior heat retention in cold conditions.
- 3/4 Nitrile Sandy Dipping: This coating covers the palm and fingers to provide enhanced protection against liquids and mechanical abrasion, while the 'sandy' finish ensures a secure grip even in damp environments.
- Open Back Design: By leaving the back of the hand uncovered by nitrile, the glove allows for maximum breathability, reducing moisture build-up during prolonged wear.
- 250°C Contact Heat Protection: This technical rating allows for the safe handling of hot objects for short durations, providing a vital safety margin in multi-hazard workspaces.
Design & Performance
The construction of this glove focuses on the synergy between its materials. The blend of polyester and acrylic in the liner creates a soft, comfortable interior that feels substantial without being overly bulky. The elasticated components ensure a snug fit around the wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove and keeping the thermal environment sealed. In terms of performance, the 3/4 nitrile dip is particularly effective; it offers more coverage than a standard palm dip—protecting the knuckles and the sides of the fingers—while the sandy texture provides a high-friction surface for handling tools and components safely.
Why No Customisation?
This item is classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold without customisation options. Adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers to these gloves would compromise the integrity of the nitrile coating and the thermal properties of the twin liner. To ensure the glove meets its safety certifications for heat and cold protection, the fabric and coating must remain unaltered.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for individuals working in cold storage facilities, outdoor construction during winter months, or logistics roles involving the handling of chilled goods. Furthermore, the contact heat protection makes them a versatile choice for maintenance engineers or assembly line workers who may occasionally need to handle heated components safely.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to maximise the effectiveness of the thermal liner. A glove that is too large will allow warm air to escape, whereas a glove that is too tight may restrict circulation, making your hands feel colder. For those working in particularly wet conditions, remember that while the 3/4 dip provides excellent liquid protection on the palm and fingers, the open back is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves, it is important to keep the nitrile surface clean. Dirt and oils can eventually degrade the coating and reduce the effectiveness of the sandy grip.
We recommend a gentle hand wash or a light wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleaches, as these can break down the synthetic fibres of the liner and compromise the protective nitrile barrier. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources; excessive heat can cause the nitrile to become brittle and lose its flexibility.
