- Full PVC coating provides a waterproof exterior.
- Brushed insulation adds warmth for cold handling.
- Gauntlet opening supports donning and removal.
Applications
Consider for cold storage handling, commercial fishing and outdoor maintenance. Chemical tasks require a substance-specific assessment using manufacturer permeation data, concentration, temperature and contact duration.
Cold Performance and Limits
The manufacturer states that the PVC remains flexible down to −5°F. This describes coating flexibility, not a guaranteed safe temperature for your hands. Warmth depends on activity, moisture, fit and exposure time.
EN 511:2006 — 121 identifies convective cold Level 1, contact cold Level 2 and a passing water-penetration result. Keep liquids below the open cuff; the rating does not establish an unlimited immersion time.
Mechanical and Chemical Standards
EN 388:2016+A1:2018 — 4221X records abrasion 4, circular-blade cut 2, tear 2 and puncture 1; X indicates no reported ISO 13997 cut classification. These results do not establish needle protection.
EN ISO 374-1 Type A — AJKLMPT is the manufacturer-listed chemical classification. It does not mean resistance to every chemical or mixture. Review the matching chemical data before selecting gloves and setting replacement intervals.
OSHA Hand-Protection Selection
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires hand protection selected for identified hazards, task conditions, performance and duration of use. This includes harmful temperature extremes. OSHA does not certify this glove.
Manufacturer Specification Sheet
Download the FrogWear 8490 specification sheet (PDF) for construction, sizing and test classifications.
The manufacturer product page additionally lists ANSI/ISEA 105-2016: cut A1, abrasion Level 3 and puncture Level 4. ANSI and EN levels use different methods and scales; compare results within the same standard.
A snug fit should allow you to close your hand around the actual tools or containers used on the job. Arrange dry replacement gloves and warming breaks when prolonged workplace cold exposure requires them. Follow workplace restrictions around rotating equipment and other entanglement hazards.
Fit and Inspection
Choose sufficient finger room without loose material that interferes with handling. Inspect for cracks, cuts, worn coating or damp insulation before each use. Follow supplied care instructions and replace damaged gloves. Compare other cold-weather work gloves when different coverage is needed.
