Product Overview
The Impact 110 Cow Leather Glove is a robust solution for professionals operating in environments where both physical impact and thermal risks are daily realities. Engineered for durability, these gloves are crafted from high-quality cow split leather, providing a substantial barrier against abrasion while maintaining the tactile feedback necessary for precision work. The design features a keystone thumb, which is specifically tailored to mirror the natural ergonomics of the human hand, significantly reducing hand fatigue during extended shifts.
Key Features
- High-Quality Cow Split Leather: This material offers exceptional durability and a naturally textured surface for a reliable grip on tools and machinery.
- Medium-Energy Impact Protection: Specifically engineered to absorb and dissipate energy from strikes, protecting the metacarpals and knuckles in demanding environments.
- Keystone Thumb Design: This anatomical construction ensures optimal flexibility and comfort, allowing for a full range of motion without the leather bunching or restricting movement.
- Contact Heat Resistance: Provides safety against contact heat up to 100°C, making them indispensable for tasks involving hot components or surfaces.
- TPR Impact Zones: Integrated Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) on the back of the hand provides a flexible shield against impact without sacrificing the glove's overall mobility.
Design & Performance
The A742 design prioritises the balance between heavy-duty protection and user comfort. The split leather construction is chosen for its ruggedness; it is a substantial material that stands up to the rigours of manual labour far better than standard synthetic alternatives. By incorporating TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) on the back of the hand, the glove achieves medium-energy impact protection without the bulk often associated with safety gauntlets.
Performance-wise, the leather is treated to remain supple yet resilient. The keystone thumb is a critical design choice, providing a more comfortable fit than standard wing-thumb alternatives. This ensures that even when performing intricate tasks, the wearer maintains precise control and a secure grip.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Impact 110 Cow Leather Glove for critical safety reasons. These are classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any secondary processing, such as embroidery or heat-applied printing, could compromise the structural integrity of the leather or damage the protective TPR backing. Furthermore, adding additional materials to the exterior could introduce new snag hazards or interfere with the glove's certified impact and heat protection ratings.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for impact driver operators, heavy construction workers, and those involved in logistics or warehousing where hand-crush risks are prevalent. Given their thermal properties, they are also highly effective for maintenance engineers or tradespeople who occasionally handle components with a high surface temperature.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm. Leather will naturally stretch and mould to your hand shape over time, but a glove that is too large will reduce your dexterity and could potentially catch in moving parts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your leather gloves, they should be kept away from excessive moisture and direct heat sources. Leather is a natural material that can become brittle if saturated and then dried too quickly, which would compromise its protective qualities.
We recommend cleaning these gloves with a dry brush to remove surface debris. Do not use chemical detergents or bleach, as these will strip the natural oils from the leather, leading to cracking and a significant reduction in the glove's lifespan and safety efficacy.
Always store the gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade both the leather and the TPR impact shields over time.
