Our water protection products allow workers to stay comfortable and dry in wet working conditions. We integrate technologies, such as laminated waterproof layers, to reduce bulk, eliminate slippage, and improve grip. Our products also provide multihazard protection against cut, impact, cold, chemical, and heat.

Snag-proof impact-resistant chemical gloves with extreme cut protection
Our S230TAXVB SolvStop Pro™ gloves offer hidden back-of-hand impact protection strategically placed between the liner and the shell to prevent snagging on edges and getting stuck. A TenActiv™ engineered yarn liner to provide 360° cut protection with extreme ANSI A8 cut resistance while a PVC shell protects against chemicals and solvents. The textured palm and fingers provide excellent grip in wet and oily conditions making them ideal for maintenance, material handling, refinery, and sheet metal handling.
Hi-viz
Chemical-resistant gloves that eliminate electrostatic paint spray-back
NIF3018SS spray paint gloves offer chemical resistance and feature highly conductive continuous silver strips on palms that run from the inside of the glove to the outside to help ground workers and avoid paint spray-back. They feature flock lining and are fully coated in nitrile to protect against a wide range of chemicals, oils, fuels, and solvents. Their 12inch length provides extra forearm coverage and a textured palm finish offers steady grip.

Measure the width of your hand 1 inch below the base of your first finger and across your knuckles.

Sleeves
To find the best fit, measure the circumference of your bicep and choose the corresponding sleeve size according to the chart below.
2XS 9.75 inches / 250 mm
Sleeves are available in multiple lengths.
For a more natural fit, some sleeves come in a tapered version which provide better comfort. Tapered sleeves are designed to fit the contours of your arm and won’t lose shape due to stretching (Tapered) (Tubular)
Quick Fit Tips
A good fit is important for comfort and protection. Our measurements offer a starting point, but personal preference is key.
Clothing should fit comfortably without excessive bunching when moving. It shouldn’t be too loose or too tight as that can affect the safety performance.
