The coating determines the grip

PU coating is thin, gives a lot of feel and works excellently for dry, precise work. Nitrile is thicker, resistant to oil and wear and therefore the workhorse choice in technical trades. Latex has the most grip for rough and wet work but can cause allergic reactions. Foamed or textured coatings displace oil and hold on even on greasy parts.

Grip without squeezing

Good grip isn't just comfort: anyone who has to squeeze to hold something tires their forearms and develops complaints over time. So choose a glove that fits precisely, with a breathable back so your hands don't sweat. If you also work with sharp edges, look at a coated glove with cut-resistant lining.

Frequently asked questions

Which coating gives the best grip?

That depends on what you're holding. PU gives a lot of feel and works excellently for dry, detailed work. Nitrile is more resistant to oil and wear. Latex has the most grip for rough and wet work but can cause allergies. For oily parts, a textured or foamed nitrile coating is usually the best choice.

Can I use a touchscreen with coated gloves?

Only if conductive material has been worked into the fingertips; that's then listed as touchscreen-compatible. With regular coatings, a screen doesn't respond, which in practice means people take off their glove to use their phone.

How do you wash coated work gloves?

Many coated gloves can be washed at a low temperature, but always check the label or packaging first. Rinse out soap residues thoroughly and air dry the gloves, away from the heating. Washing or drying too hot makes the coating hard and can affect both the grip and the protective properties.

What is the advantage of a double coating on the palm?

A second coating layer on the palm makes the glove more hard-wearing and more resistant to oil and moisture, precisely where it takes the most punishment. The back is often left open or thinly coated, so your hand can breathe. Such a model lasts longer in heavy and greasy work, but feels slightly stiffer than a single-coated glove.
