Portwest GP Grip 21 PU Glove

Product Overview

The GP Grip 21 PU Glove represents a high-specification solution for professionals requiring exceptional tactile feedback and precision. Engineered with a fine 21-gauge construction, these gloves are specifically designed to handle tasks where dexterity is paramount. Whether you are working in dry, wet, or oily conditions, the ergonomic design ensures a natural fit, significantly reducing hand fatigue during prolonged shifts.

Key Features

• Fine 21-Gauge Knit: Offers unparalleled sensitivity and control for intricate manual tasks, allowing for precision handling that thicker gloves cannot provide.
• Dermatologically Tested: Ensures the fabric is kind to the skin, preventing irritation and making them suitable for individuals with sensitive skin who wear hand protection for extended periods.
• OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Certified: This certification guarantees the materials are free from harmful substances, providing peace of mind regarding long-term health and safety.
• Versatile Grip Performance: The coating is formulated to maintain a secure hold across dry, wet, and oily surfaces, ensuring safety and efficiency in various work environments.

Design & Performance

The core of this glove is a lightweight, high-gauge nylon and latex-free elastane blend. This combination provides a "second skin" feel, which is critical for assembly work or handling small components. The polyurethane (PU) coating is applied with precision to provide a robust barrier without sacrificing the flexibility of the underlying knit. Because it is latex-free, it is an excellent choice for teams where latex allergies may be a concern, ensuring a standard level of protection across the entire workforce.

Why No Customisation?

As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for precision handling and skin safety, we do not offer customisation on these gloves. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers could compromise the integrity of the knit, affect the ergonomic fit, or introduce materials that haven't undergone the same rigorous dermatological testing as the glove itself.

Use Cases

These gloves are ideally suited for electronics assembly, light engineering, and automotive maintenance. They excel in environments where the operator must handle small screws or delicate parts but still requires protection against surface oils and moisture.

Practical Advice

For the best results, ensure you select the correct size to maintain the ergonomic benefits. A glove that is too loose will reduce your tactile sensitivity, while one that is too tight may lead to premature hand fatigue. These gloves are designed to be thin for precision; if you are performing heavy-duty demolition, you may require a more substantial alternative from our range.

Caring for your product

Maintaining the cleanliness of your hand protection is essential for both hygiene and the longevity of the grip coating. We recommend regularly inspecting the gloves for signs of wear or saturation by oils, as compromised material will not provide the same level of grip or skin protection.

If cleaning is necessary, follow the specific manufacturer guidelines provided on the packaging. Generally, avoiding high temperatures and harsh chemicals will prevent the PU coating from degrading and ensure the elastane retains its shape and elasticity over time. Always ensure the gloves are completely dry before reuse to prevent skin irritation.
