K3231-M - Lincoln Electric Jessi Combs Women's Steel Worker Gloves Medium

Professional Grade Hand Protection for Women in Industry

The Lincoln Electric K3231-M Jessi Combs Women's Steel Worker Gloves are engineered to address a critical gap in the industrial personal protective equipment (PPE) market: properly fitting safety gear for female professionals. In industrial environments, ill-fitting gloves can be a significant safety hazard, leading to reduced grip strength, compromised dexterity, and increased fatigue. These gloves are specifically sized for women's hands, ensuring that the fingers align correctly and the palm width is appropriate, which is essential for maintaining control during intricate fabrication tasks and light welding operations.

Material selection is paramount in the construction of the K3231-M gloves. The palm is crafted from high-quality top grain cowhide. Cowhide is the industry standard for abrasion resistance and durability, providing a robust barrier against the rough surfaces of steel, sharp edges of sheet metal, and the heat generated during grinding or light welding. This ensures that the gloves can withstand the rigors of daily industrial use without premature failure. Conversely, the back of the glove utilizes goat skin. Goat skin is renowned for its high tensile strength relative to its weight, but more importantly, it offers superior flexibility and breathability. This dual-material design allows heat and moisture to escape, keeping the operator's hands cool and comfortable during long shifts.

Ergonomics and comfort are further enhanced by the inclusion of a padded palm. This padding acts as a shock absorber, dampening the vibrations transmitted from power tools such as angle grinders, sanders, and drills. This feature helps in reducing the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome and general hand fatigue. The closure system features a hook and loop tab combined with an expanding elastic band. This design allows for a secure, adjustable fit that prevents debris, sparks, or metal shavings from entering the glove at the wrist, while also making the gloves easy to don and doff. These gloves are an essential asset for any fabrication shop prioritizing safety and inclusivity.
