First Place Supply offers a selection of high-quality cool grip gloves by Superior Glove™ used by workers who handle hot objects, work in hot or humid environments like a warehouse or construction site, handle cold objects such as frozen foods, or perform tasks requiring a good grip such as assembling parts or using tools.
Cool Grip® gloves are made from materials that are breathable and pull moisture away from the skin to help keep the hands dry and comfortable. They may also have a coating or treatment to improve their grip on slippery objects or machinery that have been compromised by the elements.
When it comes to safety, a cool grip glove can help keep your hands safe in a few different ways. First, the gripping surface on the palm and fingers of the gloves can help you hold onto objects more securely, which can prevent slips and drops that could cause injuries.
Many cool grip gloves have padding on the palm and fingers to cushion your hands against impacts, protecting them from injuries caused by falling objects or other impacts. Some cool grip gloves are made from materials to keep your hands dry and comfortable, as well as providing protection from cuts, abrasions, or other types of damage. This can help protect your hands from accidents or other hazards.

FAQs
What are cool grip gloves made of?
Cool grip gloves are typically made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials, such as synthetic fabrics or leather. Some contain polyester-lined Kevlar or have a coating or treatment such as silicone strips (SKPX or PSS) to improve their grip on objects.
How does Kevlar lining enhance a cool grip glove?
A synthetic fiber that is known for its high strength and durability, when used to line gloves, Kevlar can improve your gloves' abrasion resistance and cut resistance, making them more suitable for use in hazardous or high-risk environments. In a cool grip glove, the Kevlar lining also may be used to provide additional protection against cuts, abrasions, and other types of injuries that can occur while handling hot or cold objects, or while working with tools or equipment. The lining may be applied to the palms, fingers, or other areas of the gloves that are most likely to encounter sharp or rough objects.
Should I choose a cool grip glove with silicone strips?
Silicone strips are often used on gloves for activities or professions that require a secure grip, such as construction, landscaping, and handling tools or equipment. They can also be used on gloves for sports and recreational activities, such as rock climbing, cycling, and golf.
How do cool grip gloves work?
Cool grip gloves work by keeping your hands cool and comfortable while also providing a secure grip on objects. The breathable, moisture-wicking materials help to keep the hands dry, while the coating or treatment on the gloves helps to improve the grip.
Are cool grip gloves washable?
This will depend on the specific gloves you have. Some cool grip gloves may be machine washable, while others may need to be hand washed or dry cleaned. It's always a good idea to check the care instructions on the gloves before washing them.
How do I choose the right size cool grip glove?
To choose the right size cool grip glove, measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Use these measurements to consult the size chart provided by the manufacturer to find the best fitting size. It's also a good idea to try on the gloves before purchasing to ensure a good fit.
