Product Overview
The Grip 12 PVC Gauntlet is a fundamental component of effective hand protection, designed to offer a robust barrier against liquids and abrasions. Measuring 35cm in length, this specific model provides extended coverage that shields both the hand and the lower forearm. Unlike standard gloves, the full PVC coating ensures that moisture and debris remain on the outside, while the interior remains comfortable for the wearer during extended periods of use.
Key Features
- Fully coated PVC exterior: Provides a comprehensive seal against liquids, ensuring your hands remain dry and protected in wet or messy environments.
- 35cm extended length: Offers essential protection for the forearm, reducing the risk of splashes or scrapes reaching the skin above the wrist.
- Cotton interlock lining: The soft interior lining is designed to be comfortable against the skin, helping to absorb perspiration during long shifts.
- Smooth finish: This finish provides excellent abrasion resistance, allowing the gauntlet to withstand the rigours of manual handling without premature wear.
- Lightweight construction: Despite its protective properties, the gauntlet remains flexible, allowing for the dexterity required to handle tools and materials effectively.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a durable base, these gauntlets are engineered to perform in demanding conditions. The PVC is applied as a continuous, full coating, which is vital for maintaining a liquid-tight seal. This design prevents liquids from seeping through seams, which is often a point of failure in lower-quality hand protection. The smooth finish is specifically chosen for its ability to resist the snagging that can occur with textured alternatives.
In terms of performance, the interlock lining is a crucial addition. It provides a layer of cushioning and helps with temperature regulation, making these gauntlets suitable for varied industrial environments where hand comfort is directly linked to productivity and safety compliance. The red colour also ensures high visibility for hand movements in busy workspaces.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specifically designed for liquid and abrasion resistance, we do not offer customisation on this product. Any application of heat-sealed transfers or embroidery would puncture or degrade the PVC coating, immediately compromising the protective integrity of the gauntlet and potentially exposing the wearer to hazards. We prioritise your safety over branding for this specific item.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideally suited for individuals working in industrial cleaning, agriculture, or any environment where hands are frequently exposed to liquids or abrasive surfaces. They are an excellent choice for tasks that require a balance between reliable protection and the flexibility to perform manual duties efficiently.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure that the gauntlet fits securely around the palm while allowing enough room for your fingers to move freely. We recommend inspecting the PVC surface before every use for any signs of punctures or thinning, as even small defects can negate the protective benefits of the liquid-resistant coating. If the gloves become punctured, they should be replaced immediately.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities of your PVC gauntlets, it is essential to keep them clean and free from contaminants. After use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Allowing substances to sit on the PVC for extended periods can eventually lead to the material hardening or cracking, which reduces the lifespan of the product.
Avoid exposing the gauntlets to direct heat sources, such as radiators, when drying. Excessive heat can warp the PVC and damage the internal lining. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area to ensure the material remains flexible and effective for its next use. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry these gauntlets as this will likely destroy the protective coating.
