Key Benefit

Reduces hand fatigue and perspiration-related slippage in high-temp environments.

Sustainable Performance
EcoGrip™ Bio-Nitrile

Developed from 45% bio-based polymers, our EcoGrip™ coating provides superior oil resistance and 20% higher abrasion longevity than traditional petrochemical nitrile.

Key Benefit

High-performance protection with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

3D-Molded Impact Protection
ArmorFlex™ Shield

An advanced thermoplastic rubber (TPR) structure engineered with variable thickness points to provide maximum impact protection without compromising finger dexterity.

Key Benefit

Exceeds ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 3 impact standards while maintaining natural hand movement.
