Long John Gauntlet – Waterproof Protection for Deep-Water Tasks

When the job requires more than just hand protection, the Long John Gauntlet steps up to provide full-arm coverage. Engineered with a high-quality PVC coating on a soft cotton liner, this gauntlet features an integral PVC sleeve that extends protection all the way up the arm.

Whether you are working in deep-water maintenance, chemical processing, or industrial cleaning, these gauntlets are designed to keep the wearer clean, dry, and fully shielded from splashes and immersion.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Extended Reach Protection: The integrated sleeve design is ideal for deep-water tasks, pond maintenance, and drain cleaning where standard gloves fall short.

  • Total Liquid Barrier: The seamless PVC exterior provides an impenetrable waterproof shield, ensuring hands and arms remain dry even during full submersion.

  • Comfort-Focused Liner: A soft, breathable cotton interlock liner absorbs perspiration and provides a comfortable barrier between the skin and the PVC, making long shifts much easier.

  • Superior Chemical Resistance: PVC is naturally resistant to a wide range of oils, acids, and alkalis, making this a heavy-duty industrial safety essential.

  • Enhanced Grip: The textured finish on the hand area ensures a secure grip on slippery or wet objects, preventing accidents in high-moisture environments.

Pro-Tips for Industrial Use

  • The Seal Check: Before submerging, ensure the top of the sleeve is secured or tucked appropriately to prevent water from entering through the shoulder opening.

  • Layering: For extremely cold water tasks, wear a thin thermal glove underneath the cotton liner for added insulation without losing dexterity.

  • Drying Technique: Never dry PVC gauntlets near high heat sources (like radiators), as this can cause the PVC to become brittle. Always air-dry them by hanging them sleeve-down.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How long are these gauntlets?

A: These are "Long John" style, meaning they typically reach the upper arm/shoulder area, providing significantly more coverage than standard 14-inch or 16-inch gauntlets.

Q: Can these be used for handling harsh chemicals?

A: PVC offers excellent resistance to many chemicals, particularly acids and bases. However, we always recommend checking the specific EN374 chemical breakthrough timetable for the specific substances you are handling.

Q: Are they puncture-resistant?

A: While the PVC coating provides good abrasion and tear resistance, they are primarily designed for liquid and chemical protection. For high-risk sharps handling, a dedicated cut-resistant liner is recommended.

Why the Long John Gauntlet is a "Must-Have"

For professionals searching for waterproof arm protection or extra-long PVC gloves, the Long John Gauntlet is the gold standard.
