As summer comes to a close - it's time to take inventory of your fall projects. It may not be obvious, but some projects are riddled with sharps, edges, and harmful noise levels that can lead to unexpected injury.
But don’t worry… Clearing brush? Gutter cleaning? Blowing leaves? Pruning trees?... You name it, SafetyGloves® can help. Some tasks, although testy, can still be done safely with the right PPE.
Let’s see your options:
Helix® 3050
Ultimate abrasion resistance
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly seamless glove option with protective qualities and grip, the Helix 3050® is designed to do both. Get firm grasp on lawn mower handles, electric pruning shears, and more without worrying about wear and tear from abrasive materials. The knit wrist keeps dirt and yard debris from entering your glove. Plus, its eco-friendly construction made from recycled water bottle material lets you feel good about what you’re wearing.
Rig Lizard ® Thin Lizzie™ 2095
Premium impact resistance
Take on heavy lifting with confidence knowing that smash and pinch injuries won’t slow you down. The Rig Lizard® Thin Lizzie™ 2095 is built tough with full back-of-hand impact protection from the tips of the fingers back to the base of the wrist. Feel protected against sharp edges and metals with 360-degree A6-level cut resistance without sacrificing dexterity. Complete with a dependable seamless construction, a knit wrist, and an additional palm coating, the 2095 gives you more grip control in wet or dry situations.
Chrome SLT® 4061
Classic leather work glove
We love that new leather smell and feel, and we know you do too. Our Chrome SLT® 4061 is a classic when it comes to tough work gloves. Offering unrivaled protection with a full goatskin leather construction, you get the traditional leather feel with upgraded safety features. Expect form-fitting quality materials without losing the manual dexterity that you love. An internal aramid liner provides you with 360-degree A5-level cut resistance, while the leather exterior gives you a solid grip in dry and light oil situations.
Chrome Series® with IronHide® 4090
Leather cut-resistant work gloves
Another leather glove option is our IronHide® 4090 that features our exclusively-licensed SuperFabric® material in the palm, providing industry-leading A8-level cut resistance, A3-level puncture resistance, and highest level of abrasion resistance. This glove has reinforced interior double-stitched aramid thread (aka: they're fancy) that provides a comfortable fit that won't hinder dexterity. Plus, in tasks with heavy liquid use, we've treated the leather with our OilGuard® formula, sealing out liquids and jobsite grime.
Chrome Series® with IronHide® 4090IMP
Leather cut and impact-resistant work glove
In addition to the advanced protection and performance features in the Chrome Series® with IronHide® 4090 also comes in an impact protection style: the 4090IMP. This version includes a low-profile back-of-hand impact guard to safeguard against smash and pinch hazards on the knuckles and fingers, providing an extra layer of defense without compromising dexterity. And to ensure a perfect fit, the IronHide® 4090 and 4090IMP® are available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, so you can find the right glove for your needs.
Fall evenings tend to get darker quicker the more we head towards winter – especially after 5:00 PM in the Midwest. Amber-tinted safety eyewear lenses enhance visual contrast allowing you to see better in lower light situations. Each of the following options feature Amber tinted lenses and dual industry-leading anti-fog and scratch-resistant coatings, but the fit and frame range from each product to another to help you choose which pair is the best for your needs.
Complete with full coverage, wraparound lens design, and a seamless soft brow guard, your eyes will be protected from any flying leaves, dust, or dirt. Going to be wearing them all day? The smooth nose piece hugs the bridge of your nose just right to ensure you have a secure, zero-pressure experience.
The MX250 protects your eyes in disguise with its slimmer, modern design that does away with the chunky, overbearing look of regular safety glasses. With the panoramic lens design, you can expect extended lateral vision that’s great for getting a wider range of vision and soft-grip side arms that give you a comfortable, secure fit.
Looking for a full range of vision? The MX200 is constructed with a wraparound lens that delivers maximum protection but gives you the most optimal field of vision. Look up, down, and side to side with no distortion or limited peripheral views with the extended lenses. The low-pressure side grips keep the safety glasses snug on your face making it ideal for high-movement tasks like gutter cleaning and pruning.
Last but not least, loud noises are the opposite of what your ears should be subjected to.
Trust us, we’ve done a lot of tinnitus research, and everything that we’ve found points to giving your ears a break when you can. We know that every day tasks like leaf blowing, mowing, and sawing aren’t necessarily tasks you think you need hearing protection for, but repeated exposure to those noises over time can have a serious impact on your long-term hearing health.
That's why we recommend investing in reliable hearing protection to safeguard your ears during all your fall projects, big or small.
The K-series® K1 earmuffs are the muffs you’re going to want if you’ve got a day in the garage with handheld tools and table saws as they are designed for mid-level noises. These earmuffs are lightweight and easily adjustable for various head shapes.
The K-series® K2 earmuffs are the ones you want for the yardwork days with the leaf blower and chainsaw where the noise levels are a little more piercing. Both earmuffs, however, have adjustable side arms and a padded headband for all-day comfort for working those long hours. The snug-fitting, soft ear cushions adapt to the surface of your head to give you a comfortable, pressure-free wear.
When you're firing up the lawn mower, running the leaf blower, or tackling other high-decibel tasks, the K-Series® K3 earmuffs are the right choice to protect against those higher decibel noises. These earmuffs are designed to be comfortable for all day wear with their snug-fitting memory foam ear cushions that adapt to your head shape.
