The Portwest A174 is a general handling glove for work where a firm hold on tools and materials matters, wet or dry. A crinkle latex coating on the palm gives a secure grip, while the uncoated back of the hand lets air circulate during long shifts.
The seamless knitted liner sits close to the hand and follows its natural curve, which helps reduce hand fatigue. Supplied as a 12-pack, it suits teams or anyone who changes gloves often.

Why a crinkle latex finish
The crinkled surface of the latex coating creates a textured palm that helps you hold items firmly, including in wet conditions. Combined with the close-fitting 13 gauge liner, it lets you grip securely while keeping good feel for small parts and tools.
