Who Can Use the Portwest Thermal Gloves with Fleece Lining?
The Portwest Gloves are designed for conditions that reach as low as -20°C. They are grippy and dexterous with a little protection too, making them as well suited to outdoor DIY work as they are indoor cold store and freezer work. Some applications where they are recommended include:
How Dexterous Are the Portwest Thermal Gloves?
Portwest have made these gloves using high-tech manufacturing processes, and because of this they have managed to create extremely warm gloves that retain dexterity even in sub-zero conditions. They are quite thin, and when you wear them you'll find that you can flex and move your hands almost to the same degree as if you are not wearing the gloves. This is ideal for operating tools and machinery, as the gloves won't compromise on your abilities.
How Much Grip Do the Portwest Gloves with Fleece Lining Provide?
On the front of the gloves is a synthetic leather liner. This liner is a little coarser than the back of the gloves, meaning that when the gloves get a bit wet when handling materials, their grip will rapidly increase. The grippy design helps to improve worker productivity, as less time will be spent trying to get a proper hold on materials.
How Comfortable Are the Portwest Thermal Gloves with Fleece Liner?
The gloves feel impressively warm, snug and comfortable while you have got them on. An interior fleece liner is soft around the hands, and as the gloves don't compromise dexterity it means that you won't suffer as much hand fatigue as you would wearing other thermal gloves. This makes them useful for long shifts at work, ideally in the warehousing, forklift and packaging industries.
