The Portwest A281 Mechanic 120 is a lightweight glove for general handling, assembly and maintenance tasks. It pairs a hard-wearing palm with a flexible back, so you keep a good feel for small parts and tools through a long shift.
The goat leather palm gives strong grip and resists abrasion. The polyester knit back lets air through and stretches with your hand, which helps with fiddly work.
