Work and protective PPE gloves – professional hand protection
Are you looking for reliable personal protective equipment that will effectively protect your employees' hands from injuries, chemicals, or oils? Professional work gloves are the mechanical foundation of PPE equipment in construction, logistics, and during the assembly and service of power hydraulics components. Our offer includes a comprehensive range – from heavy leather models to precision gloves coated with nitrile, polyurethane, and classic 'wampirki' gloves. Each model has been carefully selected for compliance with EN ISO 21420 and EN 388 standards, which guarantees optimal abrasion resistance, a secure grip, and full freedom of movement during work.
Strong protective gloves – key benefits and protective functions
The correct selection of professional masks, glasses, and work clothes is the basis, but hands are the most exposed to direct accidents. Investing in certified, strong protective gloves generates real benefits for the safety and economy of the company:
- Comprehensive mechanical resistance: Effective protection against cuts, skin abrasions, tearing, and punctures (e.g., by steel braids of reinforced hoses).
- Barrier against oils and greases: Specialized synthetic (nitrile) coatings completely isolate the skin from the destructive effects of operating fluids and workshop chemicals.
- Excellent grip (High Grip): Polymer and latex layers ensure a secure grip of tools and handled components, also in humid environments.
- Ergonomics and reduction of hand fatigue: Seamless knits with high elasticity (as in the Slim and Flex series) adapt perfectly to the hand, preventing the formation of painful calluses.
- Durability and cost reduction: The use of proven materials (cowhide, goatskin, NBR nitrile) prevents rapid wear of gloves, reducing PPE supply costs.
Technical summary and structure of the work gloves range
The table below presents the technological classification of gloves available in our regular offer, facilitating the optimal selection of the product for the specifics of the workplace and the hazards prevailing there:
| Subcategory | Available product series | Main design features | Work environment and recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leather and leather-reinforced gloves | Fitter | Full-grain cowhide / drill fabric, stiffened cuff | Heavy construction work, reloading, transport |
| Mechanic PLUS | Soft full-grain goatskin / fabric, high precision | Mechanical, assembly work, technical services | |
| Draco | Rough split cowhide / drill fabric, friction resistance | Protection against heavy abrasions, heavy industry | |
| Coated gloves | Slim (Black & White) | Thin knit / polyurethane (PU) coating or thin nitrile | Precision assembly, electronics, light warehouse work |
| Flex | Elastic knit / breathable nitrile micro-foam | Logistics, reloading, packing goods, workshops | |
| Nitrile (Lite & Heavy) | Reinforced knit / thick NBR nitrile coating | Working in an oily environment, contact with greases and chemicals |
At the Hydron store, we take care of the full supply of workstations. To ensure the highest level of safety for employees, we recommend familiarizing yourself directly with our specialized subcategories:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Professional work gloves
1. What is the difference between basic work gloves and protective gloves?
Work gloves are primarily used to protect hands and products from dirt, minimal abrasions, or non-hazardous weather factors (they do not require advanced certification). Protective gloves are certified personal protective equipment (PPE) that must meet specific standards (e.g., EN 388). They protect against real, specified hazards: mechanical, chemical, or thermal, and their parameters are laboratory-tested.
2. When to choose Slim series gloves and when to choose Flex series?
The Slim series (both White and Black versions) is characterized by a maximally thin structure and polyurethane coating, which ensures the highest precision of touch (so-called dexterity). It is ideal for assembling small elements where finger sensitivity matters. The Flex series is based on a slightly thicker, extremely flexible knit with nitrile micro-foam or latex – it provides a higher level of cushioning and abrasion resistance, making it perfect for logistics, warehouse work, and handling packages.
3. How to correctly interpret the EN 388 standard placed on professional gloves?
The EN 388 standard defines the glove's resistance to mechanical factors. Below the shield pictogram, there is always a sequence of 4 digits and 1-2 letters. The subsequent digits indicate the level of resistance (on appropriate scales) to: abrasion, circular blade cut, tearing, and puncture. The letters at the end indicate cut resistance according to the more accurate TDM method (from A to F). The higher the numerical values, the higher the level of protection provided by a given model.
4. Which coating in coated gloves is best for working with greases and oils?
In an oily environment – typical for vehicle mechanics or the service of power hydraulics equipment – nitrile (NBR) is unrivaled. It shows natural resistance to the destructive effects of mineral and synthetic oils and gasoline. Unlike latex coatings, which professionally dissolve in fats, nitrile maintains an intact mechanical structure and a stable, secure grip.
