MICROFIBERS AND HAND PROTECTION

Workers need maximum grip and enhanced comfort while they perform tasks that call for high-protection, durability, and dry hands. For professionals who work in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution, it is necessary to have gloves that offer optimal dexterity, high-abrasion performance, and comfort.
