What Are Impact Gloves?
Impact gloves are the name given to heavily padded, reinforced safety gloves designed to prevent sudden force from impacts causing serious injury. They're packed full of specially designed padding that distributes shock and force across the hand.
Why Do You Need Special Impact Gloves?
A designated pair of impact gloves are essential if you're concerned about material getting dropped on your hands. If your job means heavyweight handling on a daily basis, impact is a hazard you need to be guarding against.
Incredibly Durable and Protective Design
Combining impact protection with high mechanical resistance to cuts, abrasions, tears and punctures, the Portwest Gloves are seriously robust. They'll keep your hands safe from a wide variety of hazards, so you'll be ready for nearly anything the work day throws at you.
Completely Waterproof with a Nitrile Foam Grip
