Product Overview
The Mechanic 110 Leather Palm Glove is a high-performance solution for professionals who refuse to choose between protection and precision. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of mechanical and technical work, this glove integrates the natural resilience of goatskin leather with the technical flexibility of modern synthetics. The result is a piece of hand protection that feels like a second skin while providing a robust barrier against the daily wear and tear of the workshop or site.
Key Features
- Premium Goatskin Leather Palm: The use of high-grade leather ensures unmatched durability and a natural grip that improves with use, allowing for confident handling of tools and components.
- Integrated Stretch Fabric: By utilizing a blend of polyester and elastic, the glove provides a secure, ergonomic fit that enhances dexterity and reduces hand fatigue during long shifts.
- Touchscreen Capability: Modern professionals rely on digital interfaces; these gloves allow for seamless interaction with tablets and smartphones without the need to expose your hands to the elements or hazards.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: This critical high-stress area is bolstered to provide an extra layer of protection and prevent premature wear, significantly extending the product's lifespan.
Design & Performance
The design of the Mechanic 110 focuses on the synergy between different materials. The goatskin palm offers the tactile feedback necessary for fine motor tasks, while the lightweight polyester and nylon backing ensure breathability and flexibility. Despite being a lightweight fabric construction, the addition of polyurethane reinforcements provides the structural integrity required for heavy-duty tasks. The elasticated elements ensure the glove remains seated correctly on the hand, preventing the 'slippage' that often plagues lesser-quality work gloves.
Why No Customisation?
As a specialized piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) within our hand protection range, we do not offer customisation on this item. Applying embroidery or heat-transfer prints could compromise the technical integrity of the leather or the specialized conductive materials used for touchscreen compatibility. Furthermore, any alterations could potentially interfere with the glove's safety certifications and mechanical performance.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for automotive mechanics, maintenance engineers, and technicians who frequently transition between manual labour and digital data entry. They are equally effective for light assembly work or logistics roles where both protection and the ability to operate handheld scanners are required.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our technical hub in Telford, we have decades of experience in selecting only the most reliable PPE. We understand that hand protection is not just about safety; it is about providing the tools that allow you to do your job efficiently and comfortably.
Practical Advice
For the best performance, ensure you select the correct size. A glove that is too large will reduce your dexterity and may make the touchscreen-sensitive fingertips difficult to use. Conversely, a glove that is too tight may cause unnecessary strain on the reinforced seams. When between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the closer fit to maximize the benefits of the stretch fabric.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of the goatskin leather, it is important to treat these gloves with care. We recommend avoiding full immersion in water, as excessive moisture can cause the natural leather to become stiff or brittle upon drying. Instead, wipe the leather palms with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, such as radiators. Subjecting the leather to high heat can lead to cracking and loss of flexibility. Should they become wet during use, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature to preserve the suppleness of the grain.
