Hi-Vis Goatskin Freezer Gloves
Global Glove 2950HVDC insulated work gloves combine a white grain goatskin palm, 140 grams of Cold Keep® insulation and an internal waterproof moisture barrier. The yellow/green nylon back, orange trim and silver reflective knuckle material provide visual contrast for cold-storage and outdoor handling tasks. ASA lists this model under SKU S2950HVDC.
Key Features
- Leather wraps around the index finger.
- Wing thumb supports flexible hand movement.
- Knit wrist helps reduce cold air entry.
- Contrasting trim borders reflective knuckle material.
Common Uses and Applications
- Cold-storage material handling
- Refrigerated warehouse picking
- Loading and transportation tasks
- Outdoor maintenance and winter work
Cold Protection and Moisture
The insulation and internal barrier support cold-weather use, but insulation weight is not a temperature rating. The manufacturer datasheet does not specify a minimum operating temperature, safe exposure duration or EN 511 classification. Assess temperature, wind, moisture, activity level and contact with cold surfaces before selecting these freezer gloves.
The waterproof component is inside the glove. The cuff is an opening, and the leather exterior can become wet. Avoid treating this construction as a sealed immersion glove or a chemical barrier. Stop work and follow the site's warming procedures if hands become cold, numb or difficult to move.
Applicable OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 addresses hand protection for hazards including harmful temperature extremes. Employers must evaluate glove performance against the task, conditions, exposure duration and identified hazards. OSHA 1910.132(d) requires hazard assessment and properly fitting PPE. These are employer requirements, not OSHA product certification.
Plan glove changes around the work cycle and keep dry replacements available. Reassess selection when moving between refrigerated rooms, outdoor loading areas and warmer spaces, since moisture and handling demands can change during a shift.
Fit, Visibility and Inspection
Choose a size that allows finger movement without compressing the insulation or leaving loose fingertips. Test grip with the actual cartons, tools or components. Check leather, seams, lining and cuffs before use; replace damaged gloves and follow manufacturer care instructions.
Reflective trim needs incoming light. Bright colors do not guarantee visibility or replace required high-visibility clothing. No ANSI/ISEA 107 garment classification is claimed. For sharp materials, compare cut-resistant gloves with documented ratings appropriate to the task.
