What Are Cotton Knit Gloves Used For?
GloveBarn’s 7 gauge cotton knit gloves are made of soft, heavy-duty cotton to protect your hands while working in high-risk environments. Cotton gloves are commonly used for heavyweight tasks and jobs, such as manufacturing, automotive, construction, warehousing, oil and gas, general labor, landscaping, and shipping industries.
Cotton knit gloves are ideal work gloves because they are breathable, heat-resistant, inexpensive, lightweight, and highly durable. Even with the new high-performance materials used to make work gloves nowadays, cotton remains the most cost-effective, comfortable, and protective option.
Protects the Skin
A 7 gauge cotton knit glove is the thickest and heaviest weight gauge, offering the highest level of protection. This thick polyester material protects the skin from sharp objects or heavyweight materials that would typically puncture a latex, vinyl, or nitrile glove. The cotton knit wrist shields the skin from any unwanted debris or particles entering the glove.
Cotton gloves provide hand protection from abrasions, scrapes, and dirt particles when working in manufacturing, landscaping, and warehouses. It’s important to have guaranteed protection when working in high-risk environments where you’re handling heavy or sharp materials. GloveBarn’s 7G cotton knit gloves will keep your hands safe from cuts and clean from unwanted debris.
Comfortable Fit
The material used to make our cotton knit gloves is soft and lightweight, offering comfort for workers and their daily tasks. When working in manual labor, you don’t want to worry about if your gloves will protect your hands through each task. We’ve designed our cotton gloves to withstand many situations encountered on the job.
The ambidextrous design and texture allow the glove to comfortably fit on either hand. GloveBarn’s cotton knit gloves are designed to where one size fits most. The breathable material makes the hands feel cool and avoids sweating in the summertime. The cotton is intended to absorb any perspiration to avoid clammy hands. In return, the gloves will keep your hands warm during the cold winter months. When working long hours, you want to ensure your work gloves are safe and comfortable to wear all day.
Functional Use
The cotton knit wrist prevents any gaping at the wrist but still allows for a good range of movement. Not only are cotton knit gloves a comfortable fit, but they are also one of the most cost-effective work gloves. A pair of 7G cotton knit gloves are one of the most affordable sources of personal protection equipment (PPE).
One of the benefits of cotton material is its ability to absorb perspiration, avoiding any moisture or sweat buildup. The multi-function protection keeps your hands cool in warm weather and keeps them warm in cold weather, making them the best option for those that work outside. While cotton knit gloves are heat-resistant, they are not waterproof. For a waterproof option, you can put a latex or nitrile glove over the cotton glove to keep it from getting wet.
When you work in landscape or warehouses, construction, or automotive, your hands are kept clean and untouched when handling materials. This factor is especially important for germaphobes and those working in environments that require clean hands for other job tasks. GloveBarn’s 7g cotton knit gloves can be used as a liner for extra protection under latex or nitrile gloves. Workers in the food service industry use cotton gloves as a liner under a disposable glove for water resistance.
Cost-Effective
Cotton is an environmentally friendly material that can be washed and reused, making it long-lasting and durable. GloveBarn’s high-quality, washable cotton knit gloves are incredibly functional. Their heavyweight material will last through many high-risk conditions, making them a cost-friendly option. Most lightweight work gloves can easily rip or tear, requiring you to buy a new pair more often than necessary. The quality of a cotton knit glove is guaranteed to last you, which is why it is one of the best materials used to make personal protective equipment (PPE) gloves.
GloveBarn’s cotton knit gloves will keep your hands clean and protected while working with heavy materials in various high-risk environments. If you work in construction, warehousing, manufacturing, landscaping and agriculture, automotive, oil and gas, or even if you need a pair of cotton knit gloves for general labor, GloveBarn’s got you covered. Our 7g cotton knit gloves come in various sizes for men, women, and children.
