Product Overview
The SG Grip 15 Eco Nitrile Glove represents a sophisticated approach to sustainable hand protection, proving that environmental responsibility does not have to come at the cost of performance. Built upon the 'PET bottle to glove' concept, these gloves utilise recycled PET yarn to provide a high-quality barrier for the hands while significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional manufacturing. The result is a lightweight, high-sensitivity glove that manages moisture effectively, keeping the wearer comfortable throughout a demanding shift.
Key Features
- Recycled PET Yarn: By repurposing plastic bottles into a fine 15-gauge yarn, these gloves offer superior moisture-managing properties that keep hands dry and comfortable.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: The integrated functionality in the index finger and thumb allows for the seamless operation of mobile devices and tablets without the need to expose hands to the elements or hazards.
- Micro-foam Nitrile Coating: This specialised coating provides 360-degree breathability, ensuring that heat can escape while maintaining a resilient barrier against abrasion.
- Advanced Micro-cup Structure: The surface of the palm is designed for a superior grip in both wet and dry conditions, providing the tactile confidence needed for precision tasks.
- Ergonomic Knitting: A unique structure featuring a lowered little finger ensures a snug, natural fit that follows the contours of the hand to reduce fatigue.
Design & Performance
The design of the SG Grip 15 Eco is focused on fine-motor precision. The 15-gauge knit provides a lightweight feel that allows for excellent tactile feedback, making it an ideal choice for tasks that require a delicate touch. Despite its thin profile, the recycled PET and nylon blend is remarkably durable. The micro-foam nitrile coating is applied in an ultra-thin layer to enhance sensitivity, yet it remains robust enough to withstand the daily rigours of industrial use. The choice of a Grey and Black colourway is not just aesthetic; it is a practical decision to help hide dirt and grease, extending the professional appearance of the glove over time.
Why No Customisation?
As these gloves are precision-engineered Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation through embroidery or printing. Any modification to the structure of the recycled yarn or the nitrile coating could compromise the glove's integrity and its ability to protect the wearer. To ensure these gloves perform exactly as intended by their safety ratings, they are sold in their original, un-modified state.
Use Cases
These gloves are perfectly suited for professionals working in logistics, warehousing, and light assembly where dexterity is paramount. They are equally effective for tradespeople who frequently use touchscreen devices for job management and need a glove that provides a reliable grip in varying weather conditions without the bulk of traditional work gloves.

When you choose MyWorkwear, you are benefiting from nearly half a century of knowledge, ensuring that the products we supply meet the rigorous demands of the British workforce.
Practical Advice
For the best performance, ensure you select a size that offers a snug fit. A glove that is too loose will sacrifice the benefits of the micro-cup grip and touchscreen compatibility. Because these are designed for sensitivity and breathability, they are best used as a primary layer rather than under-gloves. If you find yourself between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the tighter fit to allow the elastic properties of the yarn to conform to your hand.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your nitrile-coated gloves, proper maintenance is essential. We recommend a gentle wash to remove surface contaminants that can degrade the nitrile over time. Avoiding harsh chemicals and bleaches is critical, as these can break down the recycled PET fibres and cause the coating to peel or lose its grip.
When drying, always air-dry the gloves away from direct heat sources such as radiators. High heat can cause the nitrile to become brittle and lose its flexibility, which will eventually lead to cracking and a significant reduction in protection. By keeping them clean and drying them naturally, you ensure the gloves remain supple and effective for longer.
