The Portwest AP53 is a cut-resistant thermal glove for handling sharp materials in cold and wet environments. It suits industrial, construction, automotive and outdoor work where your hands need protection, warmth and a secure grip.
The full nitrile coating is double dipped to repel liquids and keep your hands dry. A sandy finish on the coating gives a firm hold on wet and dry surfaces. The 15 gauge liner keeps your fingers nimble enough for detailed tasks, and you can use most mobile touchscreen devices with the gloves on.
