Product Overview
The Grip 13 Nitrile Diamond Knit Glove is a technically advanced solution for professionals who require a balance of tactile sensitivity and robust hand protection. Engineered with a specialised diamond knit, these gloves are designed to move with the natural contours of your hand, reducing fatigue during long shifts. The grey and black aesthetic provides a professional appearance that masks common workshop grime, while the technical construction ensures your hands remain cool and functional throughout the day.
Key Features
- A diamond knit liner offers an unrivalled combination of breathability and comfort, allowing for prolonged wear without the irritation often associated with heavier hand protection.
- The nitrile foam coating is specifically formulated to provide exceptional grip in both wet and oily environments, ensuring you maintain a secure hold on tools and components.
- An integrated breathable mesh fabric promotes optimal airflow, a vital feature for preventing perspiration build-up during intense or high-temperature tasks.
- The seamless 13 gauge liner significantly enhances durability and provides the fine dexterity needed for intricate assembly work.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of polyester and elastic, the glove provides a snug, second-skin fit that is essential for precision tasks. The 13 gauge knit is lightweight yet remarkably resilient, offering a high level of puncture and abrasion resistance without the bulk. The nitrile foam coating is the standout performer here; unlike standard smooth coatings, the foam texture creates a vacuum-like effect on surfaces, which is particularly effective when handling lubricated parts or working in damp conditions.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Grip 13 Nitrile Diamond Knit Glove to ensure your safety is never compromised. Applying embroidery would involve puncturing the protective knit and nitrile coating, creating weak points in the glove's physical barrier. Similarly, heat-applied prints can interfere with the flexibility and breathability of the mesh fabric, potentially causing the glove to crack or lose its ergonomic properties. We believe PPE should perform its primary function—protection—without any structural distractions.
Use Cases
These gloves are an excellent choice for automotive technicians, engineers, and warehouse operatives who frequently handle oily or wet materials. Their high level of dexterity also makes them suitable for small-scale assembly work and general maintenance where protecting the hands from abrasions is a priority, but the ability to feel the work is equally important.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm and at the fingertips to maximise dexterity. A glove that is too large will cause the material to bunch, which can lead to snagging and reduced grip. If you are working in particularly cold environments, these can be worn as a primary layer, though their breathable nature means they are best suited for indoor use or moderate outdoor conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves, it is important to store them correctly. Keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources prevents the nitrile coating from becoming brittle, which could otherwise lead to premature peeling or cracking.
We recommend a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water to remove dirt and oils. Avoiding harsh chemical detergents is crucial, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and the nitrile foam, eventually reducing the glove's protective capabilities and grip. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally; using a tumble dryer can cause the elastic components to shrink, resulting in an uncomfortable and restrictive fit.
