TECHNOLOGY & SAFETY
Every GH Heavy Duty glove is engineered to meet or exceed ANSI/ISEA 105 standards — the benchmark for hand protection in North America. Understanding these ratings helps you choose the right glove for the job.
ANSI / ISEA 105 STANDARD
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) 105 standard defines performance requirements for hand protection. GH Heavy Duty gloves are independently tested and certified to these benchmarks.

GLOVE TECHNOLOGIES
Crinkle Latex Coating
Our proprietary crinkle latex formulation creates a textured surface that dramatically improves grip in dry conditions. The irregular surface pattern channels away debris and maintains contact with workpieces, reducing hand fatigue and improving control.
Synthetic Knit Shell
The breathable synthetic knit shell conforms to the hand's natural shape, delivering a form-fitting fit that enhances dexterity without sacrificing protection. Machine washable for extended service life.
Extended Thumb Dip
The extended thumb dip reinforces the highest wear area of any work glove. Full thumb coating coverage adds a critical layer of protection where abrasion and puncture risk is greatest.
Thermal Lining
Our thermal-lined variants incorporate an insulating inner layer that retains warmth without adding bulk. Designed for cold storage, outdoor winter work, and refrigerated environments where dexterity must be maintained.
Dorsal Impact Protection
Strategically placed TPR (thermoplastic rubber) padding on the back of the hand absorbs and deflects impact energy. Designed to protect knuckles and metacarpals in high-risk environments such as oil & gas, mining, and heavy construction.
Grain Leather Goatskin Palm
Premium grain leather goatskin is supple, durable, and naturally abrasion-resistant. The open cuff with shirred elastic wrist allows rapid donning and doffing between tasks, while the 4-way stretch spandex back maximises dexterity.
