How Warm Are the Portwest Wintershield Fleece Lined Thermal Gloves?
These high-tech thermal gloves will keep your hands warm in freezing, sub-zero conditions. They are proven to prevent hands from freezing even in temperatures that drop to -20°C. This makes them ideal not just for outdoor winter work, but indoor work in freezers too.
How Dexterous Are the Portwest Wintershield A280 Gloves?
These extremely warm gloves retain dexterity even in sub-zero conditions. They are quite thin, and allow almost completely unhindered flexibility. This is ideal for operating tools and machinery, as the gloves won't compromise on your abilities.
How Comfortable Are the Portwest Wintershield Fleece Lined Work Gloves?
The gloves feel impressively warm, snug and comfortable due to their interior soft fleece liner. The gloves don't compromise on dexterity, meaning that users experience much less hand fatigue than they would while wearing other thermal gloves. This makes them useful for long shifts at work, ideally in the warehousing, forklift and packaging industries.
Can I Use the Portwest Work Gloves With Water?
Unfortunately, these gloves are not built to withstand water. The palms can withstand a little, so if you're working in a freezer handling materials or working outdoors after a rain storm, they should be fine. If you require similar gloves that do have a waterproof coating, then we would recommend you take a look at the Ejendals Tegera 295 Waterproof Thermal Work Gloves.
How Warm Is the Knitwrist?
The knitwrist extends a little further than the wrist, and features the same warm fleece interior liner that keeps your hands warm. If you require gloves that offer a knitwrist that stretches further down the arm, then we would recommend the Ejendals Tegera 296 Insulated Waterproof Work Gloves, which have a far longer wrist.
