Product Overview
The Grip 10 Latex Reinforced Thumb Glove is a specialized piece of hand protection designed for the rigours of the construction industry and heavy-duty manual labour. While standard gloves often fail at the thumb crotch—the primary stress point during material handling—this model features strategic reinforcement to significantly extend its service life. This simple yet effective design choice allows the glove to last up to four times longer than non-reinforced alternatives, providing excellent value and consistent performance for the professional tradesperson.
Key Features
Reinforced Thumb Crotch: By strengthening this high-wear area, the glove maintains its integrity through repetitive gripping and lifting tasks, reducing the frequency of replacements.
Crinkle Latex Coating: The textured palm surface provides exceptional grip and control, allowing for confident handling in both wet and dry conditions.
Polyester and Cotton Blend: The base fabric combines the durability of polyester with the natural breathability of cotton for comfortable all-day wear.
Elasticated Construction: The inclusion of elastic ensures a secure fit around the hand and wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove during work.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A106 is centred on its crinkle latex coating. Unlike smooth coatings that can become slippery when damp, the crinkled texture creates a high-friction surface that excels when handling slick materials like glass, metal, or wet timber. The glove is constructed from a medium-weight fabric blend that provides a sturdy barrier against abrasions without sacrificing the tactile sensitivity required for operating tools. The grey and black colour scheme is practical for industrial environments, helping to mask the inevitable dirt and dust encountered on-site.
Why No Customisation?
This item is sold as-is because the application of embroidery or heat-applied logos would compromise the protective qualities of the glove. Puncturing the fabric with needles or applying intense heat to the latex coating would degrade the material integrity and flexibility, which are essential for user safety. For PPE of this nature, we prioritise the functional performance of the hand protection over branding.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically engineered for the construction sector, masonry, and general site work. They are equally effective for warehouse professionals handling bulk packaging or outdoor maintenance teams who require a dependable grip in unpredictable British weather. Whether you are moving breeze blocks or handling timber, these gloves provide the necessary protection and longevity.

Practical Advice
For the best results, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm and at the fingertips. Excess material at the ends of the fingers can lead to snagging and reduced dexterity. If you are working between tasks that require high precision and heavy lifting, these gloves are flexible enough to accommodate most site requirements, but always ensure they are the correct size to avoid hand fatigue.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the latex coating and the fabric blend, we recommend removing heavy surface dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth after each use. Allowing mud or abrasive dust to sit on the latex can cause the material to dry out and crack over time, reducing its protective lifespan.
Avoid washing these gloves in a domestic machine or using industrial detergents, as the chemicals and heat can break down the bond between the latex and the base fabric. Similarly, do not dry them on a radiator or near direct heat sources; air drying at room temperature is the best way to ensure the elastic and coating remains supple and effective for your next shift.
