These work gloves offer protection from cold

SmartFlex™ BK360 gloves (photo) are designed to keep hands warm and protected all day, even at low temperatures. These gloves are fully insulated to provide long-wearing protection from excessive cold, while also offering a soft and comfortable fit. BK360 gloves have a layered 13-gauge nylon shell augmented with a 7-gauge napped acrylic lower liner. A seamless and stretchable full-knit wrist helps prevent dirt, debris and cold air from getting inside the glove. The foam-latex coating on full fingers, palm and 3/4 deep on the back remains soft in cold conditions. The gloves’ high elasticity and durability also improve puncture resistance to keep out moisture. The sponge-like foam coating is an excellent dry gripping surface and, when surfaces are wet, the foam latex draws liquids away from the gripping surface, improving slip resistance. — Brass Knuckle Protection, Cleveland, Ohio
