Who Can Use the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
The Ansell Fireball Gloves are outstanding winter weather gloves, with superb -10°C cold resistance, total waterproof protection, and good all-round mechanical protection that prevents injury to your hands. Ideal for tough and harsh jobs that are exposed to the elements, the heavy duty nature of these gloves ensures safety at work. Suitable tasks include:
How Warm Are the Ansell 23-491 Gloves?
Aside from the fact the gloves use a PVC liner to keep the cold out, they also use a cotton jersey interior liner that keeps your hands warm and prevents any heat from escaping. This fantastic level of warmth is perfect for freezing environments, especially as the waterproof design can prevent your hands from getting wet in snowy and icy weather.
How Waterproof are the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
The PVC coating protects entirely from water, even when working in heavy rain or when fishing. The only part of the gloves that is not waterproof is the knitwrist, which will get wet when used in rain. The upside of this is that the entrance to the gloves is quite tight, meaning that water will struggle to enter the gloves via the knitwrist.
How Grippy Are the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves In Water and Oil?
When working with oil and water grip becomes a far greater problem, as the slippery conditions pose a threat to your productivity and your safety. The PVC material is incredibly grippy anyway, however when wet it will become coarser and rougher, which reduces the chances of you dropping what you are holding. This allows you to work safe in the knowledge that you have a firm hold on whatever you are holding.
How Comfortable Are the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
As said above, these gloves utilise a cotton jersey liner that offers impressive warmth. That's not all it offers too, with the cotton liner offering a high level of comfort during use. As the gloves are heavy duty, this extra level of comfort can reduce any hand fatigue that may usually be felt over extended periods.
How Long Is the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
The knitwrist extends roughly 9 - 10cm from the base of the gloves, offering extra warmth, comfort and protection up along your wrist and on to your lower arm. The knitwrist isn't waterproof, but it can protect your wrists from any mechanical threats that your wrists may face. This can include knocks and scrapes which may occur because you are handling items similar to wood.
How Dextrous Are the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
The Fireball Gloves aren't really built for dexterity, with more of a focus on heavy duty protection than tactile applications. You do have some movement of fingers, and you should be able to handle materials without too much of a struggle.
What Materials Are the Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves?
The Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Viz Fluorescent Thermal-Liner Gloves are designed from a range of materials to ensure high quality protection. These include:
