Hand protection for working in the cold

When working outside in the winter months or in cold conditions on site, having a pair of warm safety gloves is essential to getting on with the job in hand without experiencing discomfort from cold hands or fingers or reduced protection.

Decreased mobility in your fingers and the fact that every mistake is more painful in the cold means that choosing the right safety gloves that can give you both protection and warmth, and still provide enough dexterity to complete the job is crucial. uvex unilite thermo safety gloves feature a durable polymer coating that remains highly flexible even at low temperatures, making them the ideal choice for working in the cold.
