Collection: Working Gloves

Get the Right Work Gloves for Your Job

Gloves are a simple but essential part of your work gear. They offer optimum protection, give you extra grip, and keep your hands warm when it’s freezing outside.

In our extensive range of gloves, we stock trusted top-quality brands like Caterpillar, TuffStuff, and Viper, with practical designs in neutral colours that easily match your workwear.

Whether you need PPE (personal protective equipment) or just for improved comfort for cold weather tasks, you’ll find reliable, hard-wearing gloves that do what they’re supposed to do.

Why You Need Good Work Gloves

So, why should you bother with work gloves? Well, your hands are your most valuable tools. Whether you're lifting, cutting, hammering, or just holding onto equipment, your hands are constantly exposed to risks. Cuts, scrapes, burns, and exposure to chemicals are just a few of the hazards you face daily. A good pair of gloves can help prevent injuries and make your job a lot more comfortable.

Thermal gloves are also crucial in cold conditions. When temperatures drop, your hands are often the first to feel it, and cold, stiff fingers can make even the simplest tasks much harder (and more painful). That’s why you’ll find many gloves designed with insulation for warmth, so you can keep working comfortably, even in the middle of winter.

A Wide Range of Work Gloves to Choose From

Not all gloves are created for the same purpose. Depending on what your day-to-day tasks look like, you’ll need to pick the right glove type to do the work.

For example, nitrile gloves are ideal for chemical handling, automotive work, and tasks requiring protection from oils, solvents, and other hazardous substances. And for general outdoor work in the winter, you might go for a simple pair of knitted gloves for warmth.

Or for tasks requiring dexterity and tactile sensitivity, such as handling small tools or performing intricate tasks, fingerless gloves provide essential protection for the palms while allowing full finger mobility.

Getting the Right Size for Work Gloves

Fit is key when it comes to gloves. Gloves that are too tight can restrict movement and reduce circulation, while gloves that are too loose can get in the way and affect your grip. So it's worth getting the size right.

To find the right size, measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and also measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Use these measurements to compare with our size guides, as sizes can vary between brands.

Consider what you'll be wearing them with too. For example, if you usually wear overalls for full-body protection, you might want to go for gloves with an adjustable strap that can be secured around the wrist to maintain the safety.

Versatility That Works for You

One of the best things about a good pair of work gloves is how versatile they can be.

Gloves made with breathable materials are a lifesaver if you’re working in hot conditions or wearing them for long stretches of time. Sweaty hands can slow you down, and breathable gloves help keep you cool. Also look for gloves that are reinforced in high-wear areas like the palms and fingers, as this will not only make them last longer but be easier to switch between heavy-duty tasks.

We've even got touch screen gloves, so if you need to take a call or use a tablet at work, you won’t be struggling to take your gloves off every time.

How to Wash Your Work Gloves

Protective gloves take a beating, so looking after them is important if you want them to last. If you’re using fabric or synthetic gloves, a quick wash in the washing machine will usually do the trick. Just throw them in on a gentle cycle with a bit of mild detergent.

For rubber or nitrile gloves, all you need is a bit of soap and water. Give them a good scrub, rinse thoroughly, and let them air dry. Just make sure you don’t leave them out in direct sunlight, as this can damage the material and shorten their lifespan.

We always recommend checking the care label first though, as sometimes different materials have different instructions.
