Buying Guide: Leather Protectors for Rubber Electrical Gloves
Rubber insulating gloves provide the electrical insulation, while leather protectors help guard the rubber glove against cuts, abrasion, punctures, and general jobsite wear. For electrical safety programs, leather protectors are commonly worn over rubber insulating gloves to help preserve the condition of the insulating glove during work.
The leather protector must be properly sized and compatible with the rubber glove being used. For this product, Ironwear identifies the 4173 as designed to fit over Ironwear style #4790. Always verify glove class, protector length, required clearance distance, and inspection procedures before use.
