Product Overview
The Grip 12 PVC Gauntlet is a robust solution for professionals requiring extended hand and forearm protection. Measuring 45cm in length, this gauntlet offers significant coverage, shielding the wearer well past the wrist. Designed with a focus on durability, the glove is fully coated in a smooth PVC that provides a resilient barrier against external elements while ensuring a consistent, reliable grip. Internally, the glove is far from utilitarian, featuring a soft cotton interlock lining that ensures user comfort during prolonged periods of wear.
Key Features
- 45cm Extended Length: The generous length provides vital protection for the forearms, making it suitable for tasks where splashing or debris is a concern.
- Full PVC Coating: The comprehensive coating ensures that the entire hand and lower arm are protected by a layer of abrasion-resistant material.
- Cotton Interlock Lining: This soft interior lining absorbs moisture and provides a comfortable interface between the hand and the PVC, reducing skin irritation.
- Smooth Finish: The smooth exterior makes the gauntlets easier to clean and provides a uniform surface for handling various materials.
- High Abrasion Resistance: The materials used are specifically selected to withstand significant wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the glove in demanding conditions.
Design & Performance
The design of the A445 gauntlet balances industrial-grade protection with ergonomic considerations. The combination of a polyester base and a PVC coating results in a glove that is both flexible and sturdy. Unlike thinner disposable alternatives, this is a substantial piece of hand protection intended for repeated use in environments where mechanical hazards are present. The smooth finish is particularly effective in liquid-related tasks, allowing substances to roll off the surface rather than becoming trapped in a textured grain.
Why No Customisation?
This item is classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold as-is to ensure it meets its safety specifications. Customising these gauntlets through embroidery or heat-seal printing would involve piercing or heating the PVC coating. Such processes would compromise the integrity of the liquid-resistant barrier and could potentially invalidate the safety certifications of the product. At MyWorkwear, your safety is our primary concern, and as such, we do not offer branding on this specific technical item.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideal for individuals working in industrial cleaning, waste management, or general maintenance where contact with non-corrosive liquids and abrasive surfaces is common. They are also well-suited for agricultural work and janitorial services that require a sturdy, waterproof barrier for the hands and forearms.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that these are designed with an Extra Large fit to allow for easy donning and doffing, even when hands may be slightly damp. If you are working in colder environments, the generous fit allows for a thin thermal liner to be worn underneath without significantly restricting movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and longevity of your PVC gauntlets, it is essential to clean them properly after each use. We recommend wiping the exterior down with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove any surface contaminants. Failure to remove chemicals or oils can lead to the PVC becoming brittle over time, which may result in cracking and a loss of protection.
Once cleaned, allow the gauntlets to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can warp the PVC and shrink the cotton lining, making the gloves uncomfortable or impossible to wear. Ensure the interior is completely dry before storage to prevent the development of odours or mildew within the cotton interlock lining.
