SM578 - Heavy-Duty Double Palm Leather Rigger Glove - Large

Heavy-Duty Abrasion Protection

The SM578 Glove Work Double Palm And Index Finger (Large) is an industrial-grade rigger glove designed for applications requiring superior resistance to abrasion and mechanical wear. Constructed with a premium split leather palm, this model features a secondary layer of leather sewn directly over the primary palm area and extending to the index finger. This "double palm" configuration addresses the most common failure points in standard work gloves, effectively doubling the material thickness in high-contact zones. This design makes the SM578 particularly suitable for handling rough materials such as concrete blocks, lumber, metal castings, and abrasive cabling.

Ergonomic Construction and Fit

Engineered for functional utility, the glove incorporates a wing thumb design which aligns with the natural geometry of the hand, reducing strain during gripping tasks. The back of the glove is fabricated from durable striped cotton, which provides essential breathability to manage moisture and heat buildup during prolonged use. An elastic strap is integrated into the back of the hand to maintain a secure fit, preventing the glove from slipping during vigorous activity. The inclusion of a leather knuckle strap offers impact protection for the back of the hand, safeguarding against minor crushes and scrapes common in industrial environments.

Safety and Application

The glove is finished with a rubberized safety cuff. This rigid cuff design serves two critical functions: it provides extended protection to the wrist area against lacerations and abrasions, and it allows for rapid removal of the glove in the event of entanglement with rotating machinery. While not designed for precision welding or chemical handling, the SM578 is the optimal choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) tasks, landscaping, mining, and heavy construction where mechanical protection is paramount. The combination of heavy-duty leather reinforcement and breathable cotton backing creates a balanced PPE solution that delivers both longevity and operator comfort.
