If you find yourself working outdoors during the winter months, it’s crucial to have the right pair of gloves. From freezing temperatures to rain, sleet, or snow, your hands need proper protection to ensure you can get your work done. In this article, we’ll provide tips on selecting the best winter gloves for the cold weather and reveal our top recommendations from Unigloves’ winter gloves range.

Why are winter gloves essential?

Whether you work in the garden, on a construction site, in warehousing and logistics, or perform general maintenance tasks, winter poses unique challenges for hand safety. Ordinary work gloves may not be sufficient to guard against the harsh conditions you face during those cold days. The risks include numbness, difficulty moving your fingers (especially for intricate tasks), challenges gripping tools and equipment, and even frostbite in extreme cases. That’s why having a pair of winter gloves is essential.

Choosing the ideal winter industrial work gloves means selecting gloves that keep your hands warm, dry, and protected from the daily hazards in your workplace. Our tips on choosing the best winter gloves will help you tackle any weather conditions.

How to choose the best winter gloves

Whether you work in logistics, construction, maintenance, or other outdoor activities, your hands encounter various challenges. When considering a pair of work gloves, you must account for all potential hazards. In winter, this means prioritizing cold and often wet conditions.

When handling sharp tools and equipment, working in wet environments, dealing with abrasive materials, or working in freezing conditions, your industrial work gloves should be comfortable and flexible while providing protection against multiple hazards. Here are our tips for choosing the best winter gloves based on your workplace and application:

Thermal protection

Regular work gloves typically don’t offer sufficient thermal protection in winter. That’s why thermal gloves make the best choice, as they provide extra warmth to keep your hands comfortable and performing at their best. Look for gloves with a thermal liner, such as a fleece lining, which can protect against freezing conditions, numbness, stiffness, and the threat of frostbite. Some winter gloves even provide thermal protection against heat contact. If your application involves both heat and exposure to the elements, finding a pair of gloves that offer protection for both is ideal.

Water resistance

Working outside during winter often means dealing with rain in addition to freezing conditions. Wet hands not only cause irritation but can also lead to a loss of dexterity and dermatitis if not addressed promptly. To combat this, you need water-resistant gloves that protect against liquid ingress. Coatings like a dual nitrile coating offer excellent liquid resistance, ensuring your hands stay dry, warm, and protected from a range of other hazards.

Cut, tear, and abrasion resistance

Keeping your hands protected in cold weather requires more than just warm gloves. Your work gloves should also offer protection against other hazards present in your workplace, such as sharp or abrasive materials. Selected winter gloves from Unigloves offer excellent tear and abrasion resistance, as well as cut resistance. Check the gloves’ cut, tear, and abrasion resistance levels, which can be found on the manufacturer’s website (look for the testing standard EN388 for cut resistance rating).

Flexibility

Some of the warmest gloves can be bulky and inflexible, making it difficult to perform certain tasks. However, Unigloves’ best winter gloves are expertly crafted to provide the flexibility and dexterity you need. They come in a range of gauges and feature various coatings to ensure you find the most suitable, flexible glove for your application.

Comfort

When selecting the best winter gloves, prioritize comfort. Long work hours can lead to tired and fatigued hands, resulting in lost productivity and potential irritation or damage to your hands. Look for seamless liners that reduce the chances of irritation, knitted wrists for added protection against the cold and dust, a close-fitting glove for enhanced dexterity, and consider a breathable liner that wicks away sweat and moisture to prevent irritation.

Unigloves’ advanced technologies for the best winter gloves

Choosing the perfect winter gloves requires considering more than just warmth, water resistance, and comfort. Unigloves’ winter gloves range benefits from two featured technologies:

NitreGrip® technology:
Unigloves’ NitreGrip technology is an advanced surface treatment that provides excellent grip in dry, wet, or oily conditions. By reducing the need for a forced grip, this technology helps to minimize hand fatigue and provides added protection for workers, materials, and tools.

Sanitized Hygiene and Odour Control Function:
Keeping hands warm often leads to increased perspiration within the glove. Even with breathable and lightweight liners, gloves can foster harmful microbial growth and unpleasant odors. Unigloves’ Sanitized Hygiene and Odour Control Function contains a biocidal product with zinc pyrithione, which reduces microbial growth and neutralizes odors, resulting in a more pleasant wearing experience and healthier hands.
