Classic Chrome Rigger Glove – Yellow/Red

The Classic Chrome Rigger Glove in its iconic yellow and red colourway is a staple of the industrial workplace. Built for those who need a balance between heavy-duty protection and cost-effective durability, this glove is the "old reliable" of the PPE world.

Constructed from premium split leather, these gloves are specifically designed to handle the rough-and-tumble of construction, agriculture, and general site work. The leather palm provides excellent resistance against abrasions and punctures, while the vibrant red cotton backing ensures your hands stay breathable and cool during long shifts.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Premium Split Leather: Provides a rugged barrier against sharp edges, splinters, and rough materials.
  • Knuckle Back Protection: Features an extra leather strap across the knuckles to safeguard against scrapes and impacts in tight spaces.
  • Breathable Cotton Back: The high-visibility red cotton backing allows for airflow, reducing sweat and discomfort.
  • Reinforced Safety Cuff: A stiffened rubberised cuff protects the wrist and allow the gloves to be "flicked off" instantly in case of an emergency.

  • Vein Patch: Includes an additional leather patch over the inner wrist to protect vital areas.
  • CE Certified: Meets essential safety standards for mechanical protection (EN 388), ensuring you’re covered on the job.

Common Applications

  • Construction & Building: Handling bricks, timber, and scaffolding.

  • Agriculture & Forestry: Clearing brush, fencing, and operating heavy machinery.
  • Landscaping: Moving rocks, soil, and thorny vegetation.
  • Warehousing: Heavy-duty pallet handling and cable pulling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a "Chrome" Rigger glove? "Chrome" refers to the chrome-tanning process used on the leather. This method makes the leather more resistant to heat and moisture compared to vegetable-tanned alternatives, ensuring the glove stays supple and durable even after getting damp.

What size are these gloves? Most Classic Chrome Riggers are "One Size Fits All" (typically a Large/XL). They are designed with a loose fit to allow for quick removal and to accommodate different hand sizes comfortably.

Are these gloves waterproof? No. While the leather provides some resistance to light moisture, the cotton backing is breathable and will absorb water. For wet-weather work, we recommend looking for a fully coated or membrane-lined waterproof glove.

Do they offer cut protection? They offer a basic level of protection against minor cuts and scrapes (Level 1 or 2 under EN 388). If you are working with glass or sharp sheet metal, you should look for a dedicated High-Cut (Level D-F) glove.

User Hints & Pro-Tips

  • Break-In Period: Like a good pair of boots, leather rigger gloves can feel a bit stiff at first. Give them an hour of use, and the heat from your hands will soften the leather for a custom-molded fit.

  • Storage: Avoid leaving them on a radiator to dry. Rapid heat can cause the leather to become brittle and crack. Let them air dry naturally.

  • Safety First: The loose-fitting cuff is a safety feature. If the glove gets caught in moving machinery, your hand should be able to slide out while the glove stays behind.
