Product Overview
The Grip 13 Latex Foam Hi-Vis Glove represents a refined approach to hand protection, combining advanced material science with the essential requirement for visibility. These gloves utilise the latest in latex foam technology to provide a high-performance barrier that does not sacrifice the wearer's tactile awareness. Finished in a high-visibility orange and black, they are designed to ensure that the hands of the professional are always seen, whether working in low light or high-traffic environments.
Key Features
- Latex Foam Technology: This advanced coating provides an exceptional level of grip by creating a textured surface that excels in both wet and dry conditions, allowing for secure handling of tools and materials.
- High-Visibility Colouration: The bright orange fabric serves as a critical safety feature, ensuring the wearer remains conspicuous to colleagues and machinery operators.
- Elasticated Polyester Liner: The blend of polyester and elastic creates a lightweight, snug fit that mirrors the natural movement of the hand, reducing fatigue during long shifts.
- Extended Size Range: Uniquely, this style is available in smaller sizes, making it a suitable choice for a wider range of users, including younger individuals in supervised settings.
Design & Performance
The core of this glove is a 13-gauge liner composed of polyester and elastic. This construction is intentionally lightweight, focusing on flexibility and breathability. The latex foam is strategically applied to provide maximum protection where it is needed most—the palm and fingertips—while the back of the glove remains ventilated. In performance terms, the foam acts almost like a suction cup on smooth surfaces, which is particularly beneficial when working in damp UK weather conditions where traditional gloves might slip.
Why No Customisation?
We provide these gloves as-is because they are classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification, such as embroidery or heat-applied printing, could compromise the structural integrity of the lightweight fabric or interfere with the performance of the latex coating. To ensure you receive the full safety benefits and grip performance intended by the manufacturer, these items are sold without custom branding.
Use Cases
These gloves are a staple for professionals in construction, logistics, and general maintenance. They are particularly effective for those handling wet glass, slippery plastic piping, or damp timber. Due to the inclusive sizing, they are also an excellent choice for educational workshops or apprenticeships where smaller hand protection is required but professional-grade safety is non-negotiable.

Our heritage is built on providing reliable, high-quality gear that allows you to get on with the job with confidence.
Practical Advice
For the best experience, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm. A loose glove will reduce the effectiveness of the latex foam technology and may lead to snagging. If you are between sizes, the elasticated nature of the polyester liner usually allows for a comfortable fit even when selecting the smaller option, providing better dexterity for intricate tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the latex foam, it is important to store these gloves away from direct heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the foam to become brittle, which will eventually lead to peeling and a loss of grip.
If the gloves become soiled, a gentle hand wash in cool water is recommended. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleach, as these can break down the bond between the latex and the polyester liner, significantly shortening the lifespan of the product.
Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally. Tumble drying should be avoided, as the mechanical action and high heat will likely damage the elastic components and the foam coating, resulting in a glove that no longer fits or protects correctly.
