Designed for jobs where you need to stay nimble. These form-fitting gloves resist abrasion and conform to your hand to reduce fatigue.

Synthetic gloves resist wear better than leather gloves.

Gloves with a silicone rubber grip on the palms and fingers are tacky—use them for jobs where you need a strong grip. Rollover fingertips don’t have seams at the fingertips, so gloves won’t split apart in a high-contact spot.

Gloves that meet ANSI/ISEA 105 are rated for protection from abrasion, punctures, and tears.

Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards, similar to ANSI/ISEA 105, for resistance to abrasive surfaces, tears, cuts, and punctures.

Reduce hand fatigue while operating rivet guns, jackhammers, and other power tools that produce high levels of vibration. These gloves have either rubber padding or internal air pockets to absorb shock and cushion vibration. All gloves meet ANSI/ASA S2.73 and ISO 10819 standards, which verify that they reduce the amount of vibration that travels from your machine to your hand. As a result, they help protect against health risks related to long-term vibration exposure, such as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). They’re also tested according to EN 388 standards for resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears, punctures, and impacts.

Nylon/cotton gloves are thin and lightweight for good dexterity. Synthetic leather gloves have better wear resistance than leather gloves.

Gloves with rubber dots on the palm have a strong grip. Those with mesh backing also ventilate your hand when you work.

Designed for intermittent handling of hot pipes, engine parts, and castings, these gloves protect your hands from moderate heat and some abrasion. Holding heavy objects may decrease the temperature rating.

Gloves with a nitrile grip are textured to help you grasp slippery plastics or oily machine parts.

Gloves with a palm coating are more breathable than gloves with a full coating.

Gloves that meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards are rated for various forms of protection, such as cut, abrasion, or heat resistance. Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards for resistance to abrasions, cuts, tears, or punctures. This rating is similar to ANSI/ISEA 105. Gloves that meet EN 407 comply with European standards for resistance to heat or flames.

Often used in glass manufacturing and metal fabrication, these gloves protect your hands from sharp edges and intermittent heat. They’re rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut and heat resistance. The ANSI heat rating reflects the amount of heat they can withstand before there’s a risk of second-degree burns. The higher the number, the greater the protection. Holding heavy objects may decrease the temperature rating.

ANSI cut ratings reflect the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. Gloves rated A4 are good for jobs involving sharp-edged materials such as sheet metal and glass.

Gloves with grip are textured to help you grasp slippery objects. Gloves with palm coverage are more breathable than fully covered gloves.

Gloves with Kevlar or aramid are resistant to flames.

These flexible gloves combine cut resistance with a design that conforms to your hand for improved dexterity. All have reinforced palms to reduce the risk of cuts when handling sharp and pointed objects. They meet the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, which designates levels of cut resistance based on the force needed to cut through the material of the glove using a razor blade.

Silicone-grip gloves are textured providing a secure grip even when handling slippery objects. They also have bumpers on the back of the gloves to protect your hands from impact when working in confined spaces.

Gloves with open cuffs are more convenient to put on and take off than other gloves.
