Breathable Design for Optimal Comfort

Working for extended periods can cause your hands to become clammy inside your gloves, which can lead to some discomfort. To prevent the development of sweat build-up, the Portwest AP74 Gloves have an open-back design. This encourages a constant flow of air to your hands, keeping them cool regardless of how intense the activity is.

Food Safety Compliance

Professionals working in food handling/manufacturing environments are required to wear blue gloves for the following reasons:

• High visibility when working for optimal safety
• Easy detection of potential gloves/glove pieces in contact with food

This is to ensure there is a minimal risk of cross-contamination from your gloves to the food being prepared. As such, these gloves are perfect for use in a number of different food environments.
