Vibram lends a hand for protective glove collection

01/10/2015
Soles maker Vibram has lent its technology to Ironclad Performance Wear to create workwear gloves made with an impermeable rubber palm.

The Industrial Impact Glove line will offer a series of application-specific palms including a high-grip palm for mud and oil-based environments, a high dexterity palm, a waterproof and fluid-dispersing palm, and a fire/electric arc-resistant glove with a fire-resistant rubber palm.

“Vibram soles are the foundation on which millions of people place their trust every day,” said Bill Ells, vice-president of component sales for Vibram. “Just as our soles and rubber compounds are designed for the most extreme environments, the Ironclad glove collection uses this same engineering to create high-performance handwear.”
