Common questions
Questions before you buy
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant work gloves?
Waterproof describes a stronger barrier to water penetration, while water-resistant gloves may only repel light or brief exposure. Check the manufacturer's construction and stated use, since coatings, seams and cuffs affect how well a glove keeps water out.
Are waterproof winter gloves warm enough for outdoor work?
Water protection does not by itself indicate warmth. Check the insulation and intended conditions, and choose a design that suits both the cold and the amount of finger movement your job requires.
Do waterproof work gloves reduce grip?
Grip depends on the palm material, texture and the surface being handled. Look for a palm designed for your work and consider whether you need control with wet materials or tools.
How do I care for waterproof work gloves?
Follow the specific maker's cleaning and drying instructions. High heat or unsuitable detergents can damage coatings or membranes, and gloves should be fully dry before storage.
