Each week, we’ll be unpacking a different characteristic that makes up the specification of a glove. Ultimately, we want to make sure that the glove you choose is fit for purpose – not only keeping hands safe, but also providing optimum levels of comfort and functionality.

They can be almost as risky as wearing no gloves at all, as they leave your most vital tools, the index finger and thumb, exposed to risk and injury.
