Award for glove liner

The judges praised Arco’s glove liner for providing flexible, affordable impact protection. The glove’s panels are made of Poron XRD foam to protect the back of hands, fingers and thumbs, but are only 3mm thick so that an outer glove can be worn without loss of dexterity. Its impact pads absorb impact energy, while the light cotton fabric with Microban antimicrobial protection allows skin to breathe. It comes in sizes 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Paul Lyons, Arco’s product and procurement manager, says: "We are delighted to have been named Highly Commended in the BSIF Product Innovation Award as it further reinforces our credibility as an innovator and leader in safety solutions. The Impact Glove Liner is an innovation in protecting workers from incidental impact accidents, which are a common problem in a wide variety of industrial environments. It allows wearer’s hands to be comfortable while providing dextrous impact protection, by slipping it on underneath whichever gloves are most suitable for the task.”
