Product Overview
The Grip 13 Nitrile Glove represents a refined balance between protective resilience and the tactile sensitivity required for intricate manual tasks. Designed as part of our professional Hand Protection range, this glove features a specialised nitrile coating that provides a robust barrier against abrasion while maintaining a lightweight profile. The grey and white colourway offers a clean, professional appearance suitable for a variety of industrial environments where precision is as important as safety.
Key Features
- High-Performance Nitrile Coating: This specific coating significantly enhances the glove's abrasion resistance, ensuring the product lasts longer even when handling rough materials.
- Precision Liner: The lightweight liner provides a dexterity level of 5, which is the highest standard for flexibility, allowing the wearer to handle small components with ease.
- Elasticated Fit: Constructed with elastic and polyester, the glove provides a secure fit around the wrist and hand, preventing debris from entering and ensuring the glove stays in place during rigorous activity.
- Breathable Construction: The materials used allow for sufficient airflow to the back of the hand, reducing perspiration build-up during extended shifts.
Design & Performance
At the core of this glove is a fine-gauge polyester liner that prioritises user comfort and manual dexterity. Unlike heavier safety gloves that can feel cumbersome, this lightweight construction ensures that your sense of touch is not compromised. The nitrile coating is applied strategically to the palm and fingers, providing a superior grip in both dry and slightly oily conditions, which is essential for maintaining control over tools and machinery.
The choice of polyester and elastic in the shell ensures that the glove retains its shape after multiple uses, providing a consistent fit that mirrors the natural contours of the hand. This reduces hand fatigue, a common issue for those working long hours in the construction or automotive trades.
Why No Customisation?
As these gloves are classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for high-dexterity tasks, we do not offer customisation such as printing or embroidery. Applying heat-sealed transfers or stitching would compromise the structural integrity of the knit and the protective nature of the nitrile coating. To ensure these gloves perform exactly as intended by the safety standards they meet, they are supplied in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These gloves are particularly well-suited for professionals in the automotive repair sector, where the ability to handle small nuts, bolts, and delicate engine components is vital. They are also an excellent choice for construction workers engaged in light assembly or finishing work, and for general warehouse staff who require a reliable grip and abrasion protection during daily handling tasks.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to maximise the dexterity level. A glove that is too loose will negate the benefits of the high-dexterity liner, while one that is too tight may lead to premature wear between the fingers. For those working in colder environments, these can be worn as a primary layer, though they are specifically engineered for tasks requiring maximum tactile feedback.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective properties and flexibility of your nitrile gloves, it is important to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Exposure to UV rays over long periods can cause the nitrile coating to become brittle, which significantly reduces the glove's lifespan and protective capabilities.
If the gloves become soiled, we recommend gently wiping the coated surface with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres and the nitrile bond. Ensuring the gloves are kept free from heavy oil saturation will also help preserve the integrity of the grip and the underlying fabric liner.
