To the women that have a hard time finding PPE that fits and protects you properly – this ones for you. Whether you are the die-hard home improver or the shop’s best mechanic (or anything in between), you deserve to be protected properly. It’s tough when most of the PPE industry is focused on designing equipment for larger hands and broader features, but there are companies out there that look out for you, and we are one of them. Below you can find a PPE line that’s designed with you in mind…

Hand Protection

Whether you believe it or not, DIY and home improvement projects can actually be pretty dangerous. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System indicated that more than a third of annual home-project mishaps involved the hands and fingers – another 6% affect the wrists and shoulders. But that’s why finding the right safety gloves that fit you just right and protect you from potential injuries are so important. Check out the gloves below - they range from XS-5XL.

Chrome SLT® 4060

Chrome SLT 4060 leather gloves with impact protection
Say goodbye to bumps and burns. Designed as your classic mechanic-style glove, the 4060 is comfortable and dexterous. With a goatskin leather construction, you get the classic feel of a leather work glove with additional impact protection technology exclusive to our glove lines. The 4060 can be worn with confidence as you can expect high cut (ANSI/ISEA Level A5) and mid-level (EN407 Contact Heat) heat resistance.

This glove would work well for:

  • Landscapers
  • Construction carpenters
  • Carpenters
  • Cement masons and concrete finishers
  • Plumbers
  • Activities dealing with lumber
  • Tree trimmers

Chrome SLT® Oasis 4073

Chrome SLT Oasis 4073 work gloves with impact protection

No more sweaty hands. Get your work done with a new and improved general mechanic-style glove designed with goatskin leather and a breathable, impact-resistant back of hand. The reinforced palm gives you extra abrasion resistance and optimal grip while staying dexterous and form-fitting to ensure that your glove won’t slip off while working. With 360-degree (ANSI/ISEA Level A6) cut resistance, you won’t have to worry about sharp metals, wires, and blades puncturing your glove either on your palm or the back of your hand – great, right? With the SlipFit® cuff with a Velcro® closure, even the dirtiest job won’t allow any dirt and debris inside your glove.

This glove would work well for:

  • Landscapers
  • Construction workers
  • Carpenters

The seamless design and form-fitting materials allow for fine hand movements and getting in tight spaces while staying lightweight and breathable.

This glove would work well for:

  • Carpenters
