Superior Glove™ manufactures a wide range of engineered hand protection. With over 2500 styles of gloves and a team of glove experts to assist you, we will always find your perfect match, whatever the application. Our focus from the beginning has been on high-quality work gloves, which hasn’t changed. What has changed is both glove design and the materials used to create them, like DuPont Kevlar® and DSM Dyneema®. The availability now of an ever-expanding range of high-functioning, technology-driven materials has inspired us to strive even harder to eliminate the damage inflicted by workplace hazards – everything from cuts, burns, frostbite, abrasion, puncture, to chemical exposure and biohazards - and to strengthen our commitment to protecting workers hands so they can achieve the highest productivity in the safest manner possible.
Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area. The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
