Product Overview
The A175 Grip 13 Latex Double Coated Glove represents a significant advancement in hand protection technology, specifically engineered for professionals who require both resilience and precision. Utilising the proprietary 'Duo-flex' dipping method, these gloves are designed to withstand the rigours of high-intensity manual labour while maintaining a lightweight feel that does not hinder natural hand movement. By focusing on high-wear areas, this glove offers a balance of protection and flexibility that is often lost in heavier alternatives.
Key Features
- Advanced 'Duo-flex' dipping techniques ensure the glove remains flexible while offering superior protection against abrasions in critical areas.
- Reinforced double-dipping in high-wear zones significantly increases the lifespan of the glove, providing durability where it is most required without adding unnecessary bulk.
- The lightweight construction ensures that dexterity is never compromised, allowing for the precise handling of tools and small components.
- An ergonomic base of polyester and elastic provides a secure fit that adapts to the shape of the wearer's hand for all-day comfort.
Design & Performance
The core of this glove is constructed from a seamless blend of polyester and elastic, providing a breathable and flexible foundation that reduces hand fatigue during long shifts. The latex coating is applied using a sophisticated double-dipping process. This design specifically targets the palms and fingertips—the areas most prone to friction and wear—ensuring the glove does not fail prematurely. Despite this extra layer of latex, the glove remains remarkably thin and tactile, ensuring you do not feel as though you are wearing oven mitts when trying to handle delicate hardware.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on these gloves. This is primarily because they are safety-critical Personal Protective Equipment. Applying heat or piercing the fabric with needles would compromise the integrity of the latex coating and the underlying structural strength, potentially leaving your hands unprotected. We believe your safety is more important than a logo on your knuckles.
Use Cases
These gloves are an ideal choice for professionals working in construction, logistics, and general maintenance. They are particularly well-suited for tasks involving the handling of abrasive materials or where a firm, reliable grip is necessary in both damp and dry conditions. Whether you are shifting pallets in a warehouse or securing site fencing, these provide the necessary barrier between your hands and the hazards of the job.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to maximise the benefits of the elasticated fabric. A loose glove is a hazard in itself, particularly when operating machinery or handling heavy loads. If you find yourself between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the smaller size to ensure the fingertips remain tactile for more intricate tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your gloves, regular inspection is essential. You should check the latex coating before every shift; if you notice the material is peeling or the fabric base is torn, the glove must be replaced immediately as it no longer provides the intended level of protection.
Store your gloves in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the latex coating to become brittle and lose its grip properties, which effectively renders the 'Duo-flex' technology useless. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or solvents unless specifically rated for such use, as these can degrade the polymers and compromise your safety.
