How Do the Portwest A729 Anti Impact Gloves Protect Your Hands?
In manual handling environments, there is a high risk of injury caused by tools or other heavy objects being dropped. The Thermo plastic rubber backing of of the A729 gloves absorbs and distributes impact shock, protecting the hand from harmful amounts of force. Additionally, the thermal properties of the material allow users to retain feeling and dexterity when it's cold, so drops are less likely to occur in the first place.
