Dyneema® in action. Wearing comfort is as important an attribute as technical performance in protective gloves. If gloves are not comfortable to wear, employees won’t wear them all the time, especially if they need to do other things (work or non-work related) where a high level of dexterity is required. The risk therefore of employees returning to their work stations and not wearing adequate glove protection is high, and this can lead to potential injuries (which can lead to ‘indirect’ costs). The following video illustrates why gloves made with Dyneema® will revolutionize your workplace.
 
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.
