Product Selection Guide

Different jobs require different levels of protection. Selecting the right leather glove starts with understanding how you'll use it.

Choose flexible gloves that balance comfort with abrasion resistance for everyday handling.

Rigging & Lifting

Look for reinforced palms & durable stitching to withstand repeated contact with chains, ropes & lifting equipment.

Agriculture

Select gloves that provide durability while remaining comfortable during long hours outdoors.

Mechanical & Workshop Tasks

A close-fitting glove improves control when handling parts, tools & machinery.

Cuff Style

Standard cuffs maximise flexibility, while longer cuffs provide additional wrist protection in higher-risk environments.

Expert Tips

► Leather gloves perform best when allowed to naturally mould to your hands during the first few uses.
► Inspect palm reinforcement after handling wire rope, chains or abrasive materials.
► If leather becomes stiff after getting wet, allow it to dry naturally before conditioning it.
► Keep a spare pair available for wet conditions to maintain grip & comfort throughout the day.
► Replace gloves once stitching, reinforced palms or protective panels begin to wear through.
