These anti-static gloves are made for electronics assembly, testing and precision work in ESD environments. Carbon fibre in the 13 gauge shell diverts static electricity, which helps protect sensitive components as you handle them.
The palm is dipped in a smooth PU coating that adds abrasion resistance while keeping your fingertips sensitive for small parts. The back of the hand stays uncoated, so air can move through the breathable liner. This is the essential version of Portwest’s A199 glove, supplied in a pack of 12.
