All-round work gloves

Everything you need to know about all-round work gloves: the perfect choice for any job

Work gloves (or safety gloves) are indispensable in many sectors, from construction and logistics to industry and gardening. They not only protect your hands from wounds and dirt, but also provide extra grip and comfort while working.

When choosing the right gloves, it is important to consider the material, protection value and flexibility. In this article, we explain more about the different types of all-round work gloves so that you can make the best choice for your work.

How do you choose the right all-round work glove?

Choosing the right all-round work gloves depends on the nature of your work and the protection needed.
Latex and nitrile offer excellent grip and protection against moisture and chemicals, while leather work gloves are more suitable for heavy, mechanical work. Synthetic materials offer lightweight comfort and water resistance, perfect for light-duty tasks.

By selecting the right gloves, you not only increase your safety, but also your job satisfaction and efficiency.

Our all-round work gloves divided into categories

Latex work gloves

Latex work gloves are widely used because of their excellent elasticity and good fit. They offer a high degree of grip and protection against moisture and dirt. All-round latex safety gloves are particularly suitable for light work such as cleaning, gardening and precision tasks.

Like, for example, our PSP 10-140 All-round Latex Grip work gloves.

Nappa leather work gloves

Nappa leather work gloves are made of soft, supple leather and offer a good combination of comfort and protection. They are often used for precision work, light construction and maintenance.

Thanks to their flexibility and good fit, they are very popular with professionals who work a lot with fine hand movements.

Natural latex work gloves

Natural latex work gloves combine the elasticity and fit of latex with a natural composition. They offer good grip and protection, especially for light work. The raw materials are extracted in an environmentally friendly way and are durable, making them attractive to environmentally conscious users.

NBR work gloves

NBR work gloves are ideal for work involving chemicals and oils. They offer good chemical resistance and are resistant to tears and punctures.

NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) gloves are often used in the automotive industry, maintenance and cleaning. They are an excellent choice for an all-round glove that provides protection without sacrificing comfort.

Nitrile work gloves

Nitrile work gloves are often confused with NBR, but are in fact a different type of nitrile rubber. They combine the advantages of flexibility and good grip.

One of our most popular nitrile work gloves is the PSP 10-570 Allround Nitrile Foam Plus, which is known for its excellent dexterity.

PU work gloves

Polyurethane (PU) work gloves are known for their excellent grip and good breathability. They are often used in assembly, package and light duty work.

PU work gloves are light, flexible and offer good protection against dirt and light abrasions. The PSP 10-710 Allround PU Black Nylon is a good example (also available in white).

PVC work gloves

PVC work gloves offer good chemical protection and water resistance. They are often used in the chemical industry, laboratories and when handling aggressive substances. PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) gloves are tough, hard-wearing and easy to clean, making them ideal for demanding jobs.

Cowhide leather work gloves

For tasks requiring a lot of strength, such as heavy construction or agricultural tasks, cowhide leather work gloves offer excellent protection and durability. They are robust, hard-wearing and offer good protection against mechanical hazards. In addition, they provide a firm grip and comfort during prolonged use.

The “Americans” PSP 34-100 Corium Canadian are widely sold cow grain leather gloves and are widely used in logistics, industry, and construction, among others.

Cowhide split leather work gloves

Cowhide split leather work gloves are made from split cowhide leather, which makes them even more durable and flexible. They are ideal for jobs where both protection and dexterity are important, such as handling heavy materials or working in construction. Due to their sturdy construction, they offer long-lasting protection and comfort.

Synthetic leather work gloves

Synthetic leather work gloves offer a good alternative to natural leather and are often used because of their lower cost and ease of maintenance. They are lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for light to medium duty work such as assembly and warehouse work. In addition, they are often more resistant to water and dirt.
