Uvex Unilite Thermo Plus Dual Layer Thermal Gloves

Cold hands significantly reduce productivity. The Uvex Unilite Thermo Plus Dual Layer Thermal Gloves can help combat this thanks to their dual-layer material composition of acrylic and new wool that protects against the cold, and  their polymer coating that is stays flexible even in low temperatures.

What's Included?

• 1 x Pair of Gloves

Sizing Information

The Uvex thermal gloves are available in five different sizes. Please measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist. Next, refer to the table below to find out which size will fit your hands best.

Applications for the Thermo Plus Winter Work Gloves

Designed to offer reliable protection against the cold and physical hazards, the Uvex Cold Resistant Gloves are suitable for a number of heavy-duty applications. This includes the following:

• Cold environment work
• Cold store work
• Concrete work
• Construction work
• Forklift drivers
• Freezer work
• Litter picking
• Refrigerated store work
• Refrigerated warehouse work
• Rubbish collection

Tested to EN sAFETY sTANDARDS

EN 388: mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 3131X

The Uvex Safety Gloves have been tested to EN 388, which is the European standard for gauging how effectively a glove protects your hands against mechanical risks. Please check the table below to find out the results these gloves achieved when tested:

EN 511: cOLD rESISTANCE

• EN 511: 010

The Uvex Unilite Thermo Gloves have also been tested to EN 511, which is the European standard for gauging how effectively a glove protects your hands against cold hazards. Please see the table below to find out the results these gloves achieved when tested:

What Does this Mean?

The different levels that the gloves achieved for cold resistance, explain how well the gloves will behave in cold conditions. The level zero for convective cold suggests that the gloves aren't great in extremely low temperatures and the level 0 for water penetration means that they aren't waterproof. However, the level 1 for contact cold resistance means that you can handle items that are -10°C cold, which makes the gloves well suited to cold store and refrigerator work.

Key Features and Benefits

• Designed with a two-layer material composition for warmth and comfort
• Offers reliable protection against the cold
• Polymer coating on the palm and 3/4 of the back stays flexible even in extreme cold
• Crafted as a pair of winter gloves with a dual-layer design
• Provides excellent grip in dry and slightly damp areas
• Insulates against contact with cold objects
• Thin design provides excellent touch sensitivity for intricate tasks

Improve Your Grip

The Thermo Plus Safety Gloves improve your grip in dry and slightly damp areas. This helps reduce the likelihood that you drop objects while you work, to prevent injury.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

What is EN 511?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 511. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 511. EN 511 stands for all things cold, and means that your gloves have been tested for their convective cold resistance, contact cold resistance and water permeability properties.

How Do I Read the EN 511 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score achieved the better the product will be at resisting the hazard tested. For the first two tests (convective cold resistance and contact cold resistance), the product will achieve between a Level 0 and a Level 4. The higher the score the better the resistance, with a Level 0 score meaning that it failed and an N/A score meaning that the product wasn’t tested for this hazard.

For water permeability the product will achieve either a Level 0 or a Level 1. Level 1 means that the product is waterproof, and Level 0 means that it isn't.
