Product Overview
The Cold 7 Latex Crinkle Glove is a specialised piece of hand protection specifically engineered for those operating in unforgiving, low-temperature environments. Combining a high-visibility orange shell with a robust blue palm coating, these gloves are designed to keep your hands warm without sacrificing the tactile sensitivity required for complex manual tasks. Whether you are working in cold storage or handling materials outdoors during a British winter, the A145 provides a dependable barrier against cold hazards.
Key Features
- The crinkled latex finish provides an enhanced grip on both wet and dry surfaces, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental drops or slips when handling equipment in damp conditions.
- A warm acrylic 7-gauge liner offers substantial thermal insulation, ensuring your hands remain comfortable and functional even in freezing temperatures.
- Certified level 2 contact cold protection means these gloves have been rigorously tested to withstand cold hazards, providing a necessary safety layer for industrial environments.
- The integrated elasticated cuff ensures a secure fit around the wrist, preventing cold air, moisture, and debris from entering the glove during use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a strategic blend of polyester and acrylic, the glove's liner is designed for maximum thermal retention while allowing for necessary breathability. The knit provides a substantial, cushioned feel that effectively traps warm air close to the skin. The palm and fingers are coated in a crinkled latex, a material chosen for its durability and flexibility even in lower temperatures. This combination ensures the glove remains supple, allowing for natural hand movement while maintaining high abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation or embroidery on the Cold 7 Latex Crinkle Glove to ensure the physical integrity and safety certifications of the product remain intact. Any puncture or structural modification to the knit or the latex coating could compromise its thermal properties and grip performance. This item is supplied as-is to provide the highest level of certified protection for the wearer in hazardous environments.
Use Cases
These gloves are an essential requirement for professionals working in cold storage facilities, refrigerated transport, and outdoor construction during winter months. They are equally suited for utilities workers and logistics staff who require a high-visibility, high-grip solution when handling cold materials or operating machinery in damp, chilly conditions.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to maximise the thermal benefits of the acrylic liner. A glove that is too large will allow heat to escape and may decrease your grip efficiency. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to ensure the elasticated cuff does not restrict circulation, which is vital for maintaining warmth in your hands.
Caring for your product
To maintain the longevity and performance of your cold-weather gloves, it is important to keep them clean and free from heavy soilage. Removing dirt prevents the latex coating from degrading prematurely and ensures the crinkle finish remains effective for grip.
If cleaning is required, we recommend a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water. Exposure to high heat during washing can damage the elastic fibres and cause the latex coating to become brittle. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and compromise the glove's thermal insulation properties.
Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Forced drying at high temperatures can shrink the acrylic liner and warp the latex, affecting both the fit and the safety rating. Do not iron these gloves, as the intense heat will melt the latex coating and synthetic knit instantly.
