Product Overview
The Cold 7 Latex Crinkle Finger Dipped Glove is an expertly engineered solution for those operating in demanding, low-temperature environments. Designed to balance thermal insulation with dexterity, this glove utilizes modern dipping techniques to provide protection where it is needed most without adding unnecessary bulk. The striking orange and blue design ensures high visibility in the workplace, while the focus on fingertip reinforcement addresses the primary point of wear in manual handling tasks.
Key Features
- Targeted Crinkle Latex Dipping: By applying an extra layer of crinkle latex specifically to the high-wearing fingertip areas, the glove provides exceptional grip and extended durability exactly where the most friction occurs.
- Integrated Thermal Liner: The dedicated lining offers vital warmth for the hands, preventing the loss of sensation and motor control often caused by cold exposure.
- Reduced Hand Fatigue: The selective dipping process ensures the glove remains flexible and lightweight, allowing for natural hand movement during long shifts.
- Polyester and Elastic Construction: This blend provides a secure, contoured fit that stays in place, reducing the risk of the glove snagging or slipping during use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of polyester and elastic, the glove serves as a high-performance barrier against both the elements and mechanical wear. The latex crinkle finish is not merely for show; it creates a textured surface that significantly improves traction when handling damp or smooth objects, which is often a challenge in cold-store environments.
The performance of the A185 is rooted in its lightweight yet substantial feel. The thermal liner is designed to trap a layer of air against the skin, providing insulation that remains effective throughout the working day. By limiting the latex coating to the fingertips and palm area, the back of the hand remains breathable, managing moisture and temperature effectively to prevent discomfort.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for specific safety and thermal standards, we do not offer customisation on this item. Applying heat-transfers or embroidery could potentially compromise the integrity of the thermal lining or the flexibility of the elasticated fabric. Furthermore, our priority is ensuring the protective characteristics of the glove remain unhindered, providing you with the safety performance you expect.
Use Cases
These gloves are an essential asset for professionals working in cold storage, logistics, and outdoor construction during the winter months. They are equally suited for general maintenance and assembly tasks where temperature control and a secure grip are paramount. If your role involves handling materials in refrigerated units or unheated warehouses, these gloves are the appropriate choice.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit. A glove that is too loose will allow cold air to circulate, negating the benefits of the thermal liner, while a glove that is too tight may restrict circulation. We recommend checking the size guide to find the perfect balance between comfort and control. For those working in exceptionally wet conditions, consider alternating pairs to allow the thermal lining to dry fully between uses.
Caring for your product
To maintain the grip and thermal efficiency of your gloves, we recommend a gentle hand wash or a light domestic machine wash at a low temperature. High heat can cause the latex coating to become brittle or peel, which would significantly reduce the lifespan and effectiveness of the product.
Avoid the use of industrial bleaches or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the polyester fibres and the elasticated wrist, leading to a loss of shape. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and the latex finish.
