Product Overview
The Grip 13 PU Palm Glove (A120) is a staple within the Portwest hand protection range, widely regarded for its balance of protection and tactile sensitivity. Designed for those who require precision in their daily operations, this glove provides a seamless fit that allows for the handling of small components without the bulk associated with heavier safety gear. It is a reliable choice for various professional sectors where grip and dexterity are non-negotiable requirements.
Key Features
- Polyurethane (PU) Palm Coating: The dipped palm offers reliable abrasion resistance while maintaining a high level of grip in dry or slightly oily conditions, ensuring you retain control over your tools.
- 13-Gauge Liner: The lightweight polyester and elastic construction ensures a snug, secure fit, which is crucial for intricate manual tasks where touch sensitivity is paramount.
- Breathable Back: By leaving the back of the hand uncoated, the glove allows for maximum airflow, reducing moisture buildup and improving comfort during extended wear.
- Individually Packed: Each pair arrives in its own packaging, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene from our warehouse to your workbench.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a fine-gauge polyester liner, these gloves are exceptionally lightweight and flexible. The use of elastic within the material blend ensures that the glove retains its shape and provides a secure fit around the wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove during use. The polyurethane coating is strategically applied to the palm and fingertips, providing the necessary mechanical protection where it is most needed while leaving the rest of the hand free to breathe.
This design prioritises long-term comfort and reduces hand fatigue, making it suitable for full-shift use in demanding environments. The choice of materials ensures that the glove is durable enough for repetitive tasks without sacrificing the delicate touch required for precision engineering or assembly work.
Why No Customisation?
Due to the functional nature and the specific materials used in the Grip 13 PU Palm Glove, we do not offer customisation or branding on this item. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers would compromise the structural integrity of the fine-knit liner and the performance of the protective PU coating. These gloves are precision-engineered safety tools designed for performance rather than promotional display.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals working in electronics assembly, general maintenance, logistics, and the automotive industries. They are particularly effective for tasks involving the handling of small parts, wiring, or precision assembly where a high level of touch sensitivity is required. They also serve well in cleanroom environments or for light-duty warehouse picking.

Practical Advice
For the best performance, ensure you select the correct size from the wide range available (5/XXS - 12/3XL); a glove that is too large will reduce dexterity, while one that is too small may cause unnecessary strain on the fabric. If you work in an environment with high touchscreen usage, you may wish to consider the A195 variant of this glove, which is specifically designed for use with digital interfaces.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective properties and lifespan of your Grip 13 PU Palm Gloves, we recommend regular inspection for signs of wear or damage. Maintaining cleanliness is vital for both hygiene and grip performance, as dirt can act as an abrasive on the PU surface.
While these are often treated as semi-disposable in high-intensity environments, they can be maintained with a gentle, cool hand wash using a mild detergent. Avoiding high temperatures is essential, as excessive heat can degrade the polyurethane coating and cause the elasticated liner to lose its shape, rendering the glove less effective.
Do not use bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners, as these will weaken the synthetic polyester fibres. After cleaning, allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying is not recommended, as the mechanical action and heat can cause the PU coating to crack or peel over time.
