Leather gloves – PPE essential in many professions

Leather gloves belong to the category of personal protective equipment. They are used in many industries and jobs. They are typically used by general construction workers, welders, lumberjacks, car mechanics, gardeners, fitters and installers, and DIY enthusiasts. They combine thermal insulation with effective protection of the skin of the hands and comfort of use. The use of natural leather in the production translates into maximum durability of the gloves, softness, thermal comfort, a high degree of protection against mechanical damage, burns and chemicals, and resistance to abrasion.

Leather work and protective gloves – what is the difference?

Leather work gloves are a variant providing a basic level of protection. They usually protect only against mechanical hazards. They allow to avoid difficult to remove dirt from the hands, superficial wounds and minor burns. Leather protective gloves, on the other hand, are intended for professional use in demanding environments. The levels of resistance to abrasion, cutting, tearing and puncture declared by the manufacturer, as well as the degree of manual dexterity during work, are confirmed by appropriate approvals and certificates. Such gloves, before being approved for sale, undergo rigorous laboratory tests. In addition, they should meet the requirements of the European Directive 89/686, especially in terms of ergonomics, harmlessness, comfort, aeration and flexibility, and comply with the European standards EN420:2003 and EN388:2003.

When choosing leather gloves, you should pay attention to their:

• destiny,

Leather gloves are made from cowhide or goat leather, and less commonly pigskin. Both full-grain and split leather work well. You can choose between 100% leather and leather-reinforced models.
