Product Overview
The Result Winter Essentials Softshell thermal glove is a technical solution for hand protection in demanding cold-weather environments. Designed with a sophisticated three-layer bonded fabric, these gloves provide a barrier against the elements without the bulk often associated with thermal wear. The unisex design prioritises dexterity and comfort, ensuring that professionals can maintain productivity even as temperatures drop. By integrating a waterproof and windproof membrane between a durable outer and a soft inner layer, Result has created a glove that addresses the primary challenges of outdoor winter work: moisture, wind chill, and heat retention.
Key Features
- Elasticised wrist and extended cover: The wrist area is designed to sit snugly against the skin, while the extended length ensures a seamless overlap with jacket sleeves, effectively sealing out cold drafts and preventing heat loss.
- Integrated palm grip: A dedicated grip feature on the palm enhances tactile feedback and ensures a secure hold on tools or equipment, which is vital for safety in damp or icy conditions.
- Pill-resist microfleece lining: The internal layer is engineered to resist pilling, ensuring the gloves remain comfortable against the skin and maintain their insulating properties over long-term use.
- Three-layer bonded construction: This technical approach combines an outer shell, a protective membrane, and a thermal lining into a single, cohesive fabric that offers comprehensive protection.
Design & Performance
The performance of these gloves centres on the mid-layer TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) membrane. This component is technically engineered to be waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable, allowing moisture vapour from perspiration to escape while preventing external water from entering. This balance is critical for maintaining hand temperature during physical exertion.
The outer layer is composed of 100% polyester, chosen for its durability and resistance to abrasion. This is bonded to a 100% polyester microfleece inner layer that traps air to provide lightweight insulation. The 'comfort stretch' characteristics of the fabric allow for a full range of motion, ensuring the gloves do not feel restrictive during precision tasks. Despite their high thermal efficiency, the gloves remain notably light, reducing hand fatigue during extended shifts.
Why No Customisation?
We supply these thermal gloves without customisation to preserve the technical integrity of the three-layer bonded fabric. The central TPU membrane is essential for the glove's waterproof and windproof performance; piercing this layer with embroidery needles would create thousands of tiny holes, allowing water and wind to penetrate the glove. To ensure you receive the full benefit of the weatherproofing technology, we recommend using these as-is for maximum protection.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideal for site managers, surveyors, and logistics professionals who require hand protection that does not compromise their ability to handle equipment or documents. They are equally suited for outdoor maintenance crews, delivery drivers, and any trade professional operating in exposed, cold-weather environments where maintaining manual dexterity is a priority.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that a snug fit is preferable for thermal efficiency, as it minimises the amount of air your body needs to heat. If you are between sizes, the 'comfort stretch' fabric typically allows for a secure fit without being restrictive. For those working in exceptionally wet conditions, ensuring your jacket sleeves are pulled down over the extended wrist covers will provide the best possible seal against the elements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the technical TPU membrane and the integrity of the bonded layers, proper care is essential. Always consult the internal sewn tag for specific instructions before cleaning.
We recommend a gentle wash cycle to prevent damage to the bonded fabric. Using harsh detergents or high temperatures can degrade the waterproof membrane, eventually causing it to lose its windproof and waterproof properties. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and reduce the breathability of the microfleece lining.
Do not use bleach, as the chemicals will break down the polyester fibres and weaken the construction of the glove. Air drying is strongly recommended; high heat from a tumble dryer can cause the bonded layers to delaminate and may melt the TPU membrane, rendering the gloves ineffective against the cold.
