Product Overview
The Grip 15 Nitrile Double Gauntlet is a specialised piece of hand protection designed to meet the demands of challenging industrial environments. Engineered for those who frequently handle oils, greases, and lubricants, these gauntlets provide a comprehensive barrier against liquid penetration while maintaining the tactile sensitivity required for complex manual tasks. The orange and black aesthetic is not merely for show; it ensures high visibility for hand signals and safety awareness in busy workshops or on-site.
Key Features
Fully Dipped Nitrile Coating: This complete coverage ensures that your hands remain protected from liquid ingress, particularly useful when submerged in or handling grease-heavy components.
Superior Grip Performance: The surface treatment is specifically formulated to provide optimal traction, reducing the physical effort required to hold slippery objects and minimising the risk of accidental drops.
Nylon and Elastic Liner: By combining a flexible nylon base with elastic properties, the gauntlet offers a snug, comfortable fit that moves with the hand rather than resisting it.
Double Gauntlet Construction: This design provides extended protection further up the arm, ensuring that splashes or drips do not bypass the glove's protective zone.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a focus on durability and user comfort, the Grip 15 utilizes a lightweight but incredibly robust nylon liner. This choice of material allows for a high degree of dexterity, which is often sacrificed in heavier protective gloves. The double-dipped nitrile finish provides a substantial physical barrier against abrasion and chemical exposure common in mechanical and maintenance work. Despite its protective qualities, the gauntlet remains flexible enough to allow for extended periods of wear without significant hand fatigue.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this specific item because it is a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any modification to the surface of the nitrile coating could compromise the glove's integrity, potentially allowing harmful substances to penetrate the fabric. Furthermore, the heat processes involved in customisation could alter the chemical properties of the nitrile, rendering the safety certifications void.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideally suited for professionals in the automotive industry, petrochemical sectors, and general heavy-duty maintenance. Whether you are degreasing engine components or handling oily machinery parts, the Grip 15 provides the reliable barrier and grip needed to perform the job safely and efficiently.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a close fit to maximise the benefits of the elasticated liner. A gauntlet that is too loose will reduce your grip efficiency and tactile feedback. If you are working in colder environments, these gauntlets are lightweight enough to be worn over a thin thermal liner, though this may necessitate moving up one size to maintain circulation and comfort.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your gauntlets correctly is essential to preserve their protective properties and extend their service life. After use in oily environments, wipe the exterior of the gauntlets with a damp cloth to remove excess grease. Allowing chemicals to sit on the nitrile surface for extended periods can lead to premature degradation of the material.
We recommend air drying these gauntlets away from direct heat sources. Subjecting the nitrile to high heat, such as placing them on a radiator, can cause the material to become brittle and crack, which immediately compromises the liquid-proof barrier. Always inspect the gauntlets for punctures or tears before each use; a compromised gauntlet is no longer providing the protection you require.
