Helping keep hands safe

Metacarpal injuries are common when a worker’s hand slips and the back of the hand hits another object. To minimise this, Dickies Impact gloves have shock-absorbing TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber) ergonomically added as an exoskeleton to the back of the glove and knuckle areas to minimise bruising and breaks. The same TPR is added to the fingers and thumbs to provide protection against pinching and impact bruising. 

Depending upon the intended end use of the glove, padding and shock absorbent material, or Duraclad Rope Channel reinforcement, can be added to the palm. Other materials, such as foam nitrile, afford a good grip. An EN 388 cut level 5 knit (ANSI/ISEA Level 4) can give additional protection. Waterproof variants are also available, as is a patented Diamond clad Silicone fused palm, for good grip on wet and oily objects. High visibility options are also available in the range.

Fit and comfort are said to be immediately apparent.

Dickies gloves are highly engineered, ergonomically 3D designed items with multi measurement points and when pulling on via the specially designed TPR Cuff puller tab in some variants, the embracing Tricot or Cut Resistant liner welcomes the hand. Some models have an adjustable Teflon treated Neoprene Cuff or the Teflon treated synthetic suede fourchette.
