Product Overview
The Impact 13 Nitrile Reinforced Palm Glove is a technical solution for professionals operating in high-risk environments where hand safety cannot be compromised. These gloves offer a sophisticated balance between impact protection and tactile sensitivity, ensuring that the wearer remains protected from strikes and abrasions while maintaining full control over their tools. The high-visibility yellow and orange design ensures that hand movements are easily spotted on busy sites, contributing to overall safety on the job.
Key Features
- Nitrile Foam Palm Coating: This specialised coating provides maximum grip even when dealing with water, grease, or oil, ensuring you do not drop your tools or your standards.
- Impact Protection: The integrated TPR zones shield the back of the hand from compression and impact, reducing the risk of common workplace injuries.
- Abrasion Resistance: The reinforced palm is built to withstand the rigours of heavy handling, extending the lifespan of the glove.
- Breathable Seamless Liner: A lightweight fabric construction ensures air can circulate around the hand, preventing discomfort during long shifts.
- Hook & Loop Strap: An adjustable fastening at the wrist provides a secure, reliable fit that prevents debris from entering the glove.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a blend of polyester, elastic, and elastane, the glove's liner provides a snug, second-skin fit that facilitates dexterity. The performance is further enhanced by the TPR (Thermo-Plastic Rubber) impact elements which are strategically placed to allow for natural hand movement while offering a robust shield. This medium-weight protective glove is designed to handle the physical demands of mechanical and construction work without the bulk associated with traditional leather impact gloves.
Why No Customisation?
As these gloves are categorised as specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), they are sold as-is. The technical surfaces—specifically the TPR impact zones on the back and the nitrile foam on the palm—do not allow for embroidery or heat-applied transfers. Attempting to customise these items would likely damage the protective materials and could invalidate the safety certifications of the product.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for carpenters, site labourers, and automotive engineers. They excel in environments where the handling of oily components or heavy materials is required, and where there is a constant risk of hands being caught or struck by equipment.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent decades refining the selection of protective gear we offer to the UK workforce. From our base in Telford, we ensure that every product, including these Impact 13 gloves, meets the high standards our customers have come to expect over the last nearly fifty years.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the glove fits snugly across the palm to allow the nitrile coating to function correctly. A loose glove can reduce your grip effectiveness and may cause the impact protection to shift away from the knuckles where it is most needed.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance grip and protective qualities of these gloves, regular maintenance is essential.
We recommend wiping the nitrile palms clean after use to remove any build-up of oils or grit. Allowing contaminants to sit on the surface can gradually degrade the foam coating, reducing its friction levels and longevity.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can weaken the polyester fibres of the liner and cause the TPR impact zones to become brittle. Similarly, do not tumble dry these gloves; excessive heat can warp the rubberised components, leading to a poor fit and reduced protection.
