When selecting the best winter work gloves, it’s important to ensure they meet industry safety standards to provide reliable protection in cold conditions. Here are the key standards to look for when buying winter work gloves:
This standard is essential for gloves used in cold weather or freezing environments. EN 511 evaluates gloves based on:
Convective Cold Resistance: Measures how well the glove prevents cold air from penetrating.
Contact Cold Resistance: Tests the glove’s insulation when handling cold surfaces.
Water Permeability: Checks whether the glove repels water or absorbs it (0 = penetrates, 1 = waterproof).
This standard ensures abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and puncture protection. Many winter gloves provide both thermal and mechanical protection, making them ideal for handling tools or materials in cold temperatures.
This standard covers basic requirements like proper fit, comfort, and ensuring gloves are made from safe materials. It ensures wearers maintain comfort and dexterity despite cold weather.
Recommended Guide: Safety Glove Standards
Selecting the best winter work gloves involves considering key features that provide the right balance of warmth, protection, and comfort for your specific needs. Here’s what to look for:
Good insulation ensures your hands stay warm in cold conditions, whether you're working outdoors or in a freezing environment like a freezer. Materials like fleece or thermal layers are ideal for retaining warmth without compromising dexterity.
Tip: Look for gloves rated under EN 511 for reliable protection against cold temperatures.
For workers in wet conditions, waterproof gloves are essential. A waterproof layer prevents moisture from penetrating, ensuring hands remain dry even in snow or rain.
Tip: Choose gloves with waterproof membranes or coatings, especially for roles involving prolonged exposure to water.
Tasks requiring the handling of tools or materials benefit from gloves with enhanced grip and abrasion resistance. Features like textured palms or coated fingers improve grip, even in wet conditions.
Tip: Opt for gloves rated under EN 388 for mechanical protection and palm reinforcement.
Ill-fitting gloves can lead to discomfort or reduced efficiency. Ensure the gloves fit snugly without restricting movement, and check for features like elasticated wrists or adjustable cuffs for a customised fit.
Tip: Measure your hands properly and consider women-specific gloves for smaller sizes.
For workers needing to operate touchscreen devices in cold weather, gloves with touchscreen fingertips are invaluable. They allow interaction with phones or tablets without removing gloves and risking cold hands.
Tip: Look for gloves like the Portwest PW3 Winter Glove with integrated touchscreen functionality.
For extreme cold conditions, gloves with high insulation and an EN 511 rating are essential. Look for gloves with fleece or thermal layers inside the glove.
Some winter gloves are specifically designed to be waterproof, making them ideal for tasks in wet conditions or snow. These gloves often provide excellent water resistance while also offering other protective features like cut resistance.
Measure your hand’s circumference and length, and compare it to the sizing chart provided by manufacturers. For a snug fit, consider gloves with adjustable cuffs or elasticated wrists.
Winter gloves should be replaced when they show signs of wear, a loss of insulation inside the glove, or decreased grip. Regular inspections ensure they continue to provide effective protection in cold temperatures.
Yes, leather work gloves are highly durable and often feature fleece linings for additional warmth. They are particularly good for heavy-duty tasks like construction or other physical work in cold conditions.
Choosing the best winter work gloves is essential for staying safe, comfortable, and productive during the cold winter months. The right pair of gloves not only provide warmth and protection against cold conditions but also ensures compliance with safety standards like EN 511, for example.
Investing in the best winter work gloves not only protects your hands but ensures performance in even the harshest conditions. For personalised recommendations, book a free workwear and PPE consultation to find the perfect fit for your team, or explore our range of work gloves.
