Product Overview
The Grip 12 PVC Gauntlet is a fundamental requirement for those working in environments where hand and forearm protection is non-negotiable. Measuring 27cm in length, these gauntlets provide an extended barrier that protects the skin against various liquids and abrasive surfaces. The smooth finish is designed for efficiency, ensuring that liquids bead away rather than saturating the material.
Key Features
- Fully coated PVC exterior provides a comprehensive shield against moisture, oils, and grease, keeping your hands dry in challenging conditions.
- The smooth finish offers superior abrasion resistance, ensuring that the gauntlets can withstand the rigours of daily manual labour without premature failure.
- Integrated cotton interlock lining provides a soft, comfortable interior that absorbs moisture, making the gauntlets suitable for prolonged use throughout the working day.
- A 27cm length offers critical protection for the wrist and lower forearm, bridging the gap between standard gloves and sleeve protection.
Design & Performance
The design of the A427 focuses on the balance between durability and user comfort. By using a polyester base material and a high-grade PVC coating, these gauntlets remain flexible while offering substantial protection. Unlike basic gloves, the interlock lining ensures that the gauntlet maintains its shape and provides a barrier between the skin and the outer coating, reducing the risk of irritation. The smooth red finish is not just for visibility; it is specifically engineered to resist the build-up of debris and liquids.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this specific product because it is classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The primary function of the PVC coating is to provide a continuous, liquid-resistant barrier. Puncturing this material with embroidery needles would create thousands of tiny holes, immediately compromising the glove's integrity and safety certifications. Similarly, the heat required for print transfers could damage the PVC coating. We prioritise your physical safety over aesthetic branding.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are an excellent choice for individuals working in industrial cleaning, waste management, or general maintenance. They are particularly useful for tasks involving the handling of wet materials or where there is a risk of splashes. Any professional requiring a lightweight but sturdy barrier against non-corrosive liquids will find these a reliable addition to their kit.

Practical Advice
When selecting your gauntlets, ensure the length is sufficient to cover any gap between your work jacket or coverall. For those working in slightly cooler environments, the cotton lining provides a degree of warmth, though we recommend choosing a size that allows for natural movement of the fingers to avoid hand fatigue during long shifts.
Caring for your product
To ensure your gauntlets continue to provide the level of protection you expect, it is essential to maintain them correctly. After each use, we recommend wiping down the exterior with a clean, damp cloth to remove any surface contaminants or chemicals. Failure to do so can lead to the PVC coating hardening or cracking over time.
Always allow the gauntlets to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them on radiators or near direct heat sources, as extreme heat will compromise the flexibility of the PVC. Proper storage, away from direct sunlight, will prevent the material from becoming brittle, ensuring a longer service life.
