Shop by use case below, or jump to leather work gloves, cut-resistant gloves, or winter work gloves. New to work gloves? Read our work gloves buying guide. For heavy site work see our construction gloves, and add cut-resistant sleeves for arm protection.
How to Choose the Right Work Gloves
The best work gloves match the hazard, not just the job. For sharp edges, sheet metal, and glass handling, choose cut-resistant gloves rated ANSI A3–A9. For welding, foundry, and hot work, use heat-resistant leather or aramid pairs. For wet or oily grip, a nitrile- or latex-coated palm sheds liquids while keeping control, and for outdoor winter work, insulated and waterproof gloves keep hands warm without losing dexterity.
Materials & Safety Ratings
Leather (cowhide, goatskin, pigskin) resists abrasion for general labor and construction. Coated knit gloves balance dexterity and grip for assembly and warehouse work. Kevlar and other aramid fibers add cut and heat protection certified to ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 — checking the cut level (A1–A9) and abrasion rating helps you buy the right protection the first time.

Work Glove FAQs
What do ANSI cut levels A1–A9 mean?
ANSI/ISEA 105 rates cut resistance from A1 (light) to A9 (highest). A1–A2 suit general handling, A3–A5 cover glass, sheet metal, and light blades, and A6–A9 are built for heavy blade and sharp-edge work. Match the level to your specific hazard.
How should work gloves fit?
Snug across the palm with your fingertips reaching the ends. Too loose and you lose grip and dexterity; too tight and your hands tire quickly. Coated knit gloves stretch to fit, while leather breaks in with wear.
Coated, leather, or cut-resistant — which type do I need?
Coated knit gloves (nitrile, polyurethane, latex) give grip for assembly and general handling. Leather handles abrasion, heat, and heavy-duty material work. Cut-resistant knits (HPPE and aramid fibers) protect against blades, glass, and metal edges.
Do you offer bulk and wholesale pricing?
Yes. Most styles ship in multi-pair packs, and we offer case and bulk pricing for crews, facilities, and resellers.
