Insulated Gloves

When you’re working in freezing temperatures, your blood vessels constrict to protect your core, significantly reducing blood flow to your hands and impairing nerve function. Initial pain gives way to numbness, which leads to stiffness, clumsiness, and a dramatic reduction in dexterity.

This is more than mere discomfort. When you rely on your hands to work, any impairment of your fine motor skills becomes a safety hazard, as it reduces grip strength and slows reaction time.

Prolonged exposure to severe cold can cause injury that becomes progressively worse the longer your hands remain unprotected. Frostnip (the first stage of frostbite) occurs as the top layers of skin freeze, and as the freezing deepens, your risk of permanent damage increases.

That’s why insulated are essential for anyone who spends time working in low temperatures, whether in cold storage, refrigerated logistics, or outdoor work. Thermal work gloves feature multiple layers, typically including a moisture-wicking liner, an insulating mid-layer, and a waterproof, windproof outer shell.

• Lining layer: Made with materials like thermal acrylic, silk, Merino wool, or polyester, the liner keeps your hands dry and prevents freezing by wicking moisture away from your skin.
• Insulating layer: This layer, consisting of high-performance synthetic insulations like Thinsulate™, PrimaLoft®, or heavy-duty fleece, traps body heat to keep your hands warm.
• Outer layer: The glove’s shell protects your hands from external elements. It is often made from waterproof material, like leather, neoprene, or technical membranes like Hipora®, as well as windproof fabrics that prevent the wind chill from penetrating the inner layers.

Wearing these safety gloves protects you from frostbite and cold-induced hand fatigue. They allow you to stay productive even when the outside temperature is frigid and unforgiving.
