Product Overview
The Grip 10 Latex Economy Glove represents a practical and sustainable approach to essential hand protection. This lightweight glove is engineered for high-volume industrial use, providing a reliable barrier and enhanced grip for manual handling tasks without unnecessary bulk. By incorporating a liner made from recycled polyester and a coating derived from naturally grown latex, it offers an environmentally conscious solution for businesses looking to maintain safety standards while being mindful of their ecological impact.
Key Features
- Recycled Polyester Liner: The use of recycled materials provides a durable, flexible base that supports sustainability initiatives without compromising on the glove's structural integrity.
- Naturally Grown Latex Coating: This crinkle-effect coating offers superior grip in both dry and damp conditions, ensuring tools and materials are handled securely.
- Lightweight Construction: The thin, breathable profile ensures high levels of dexterity and tactile sensitivity, which is vital for handling small components or performing precise movements.
- Elasticated Knitwrist: A secure fit around the wrist prevents the ingress of dust and debris, while keeping the glove firmly in place during strenuous activity.
Design & Performance
The design of the A150 is focused on the synergy between comfort and utility. The liner is a blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and elastic, which allows the glove to stretch and conform to the natural shape of the hand. This reduces hand fatigue during long shifts. The palm-dipped latex coating is specifically chosen for its high friction coefficient, which is essential for preventing slips during lifting and carrying operations. Because the back of the glove remains uncoated, air can circulate freely, keeping the hands cooler and drier than fully coated alternatives.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a piece of technical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically designed for grip and hand safety, we do not offer customisation on this item. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers would compromise the elastic properties of the knit and could potentially damage the protective latex coating. To ensure the gloves perform to their certified safety standards, they are best used in their original, manufactured state.
Use Cases
These gloves are a staple in sectors such as construction, warehousing, and logistics, where reliable grip is a constant requirement. They are equally effective for local authorities, maintenance teams, and gardening professionals who require a cost-effective solution for everyday protection against abrasions and minor injuries during manual labour.

Practical Advice
For the best results, ensure the gloves are a snug fit; any excess material at the fingertips will significantly reduce your dexterity. If you are working in particularly cold environments, these can be worn over a thin thermal liner, though this may require moving up one size to maintain comfort and circulation.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your grip gloves, it is important to store them correctly. Keep them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can cause the natural latex coating to become brittle and lose its grip properties.
We recommend avoiding contact with oils, greases, and petroleum-based products, as these chemicals can cause natural latex to degrade and swell, compromising the glove's protection. If cleaning is necessary, a gentle hand wash in cool water is advised. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as the high heat and mechanical agitation can shrink the recycled polyester liner and cause the latex to perish or peel away from the fabric.
