Jersey gloves are designed to protect employees' hands from industrial work hazards. Jersey gloves are used in the construction, agriculture, general industrial and automotive industries. Jersey gloves are either made from a polyester-cotton blend or from 100% cotton. These materials make the gloves stretchable and absorbent.

Narrow your search for jersey gloves by evaluating the needs of your business. Do your employees need extra grip, absorbency or protection from the cold? If the gloves need to conform to employees' hands and have extra grip, look for jersey gloves with plastic dots. For those who need stretchable fabric and absorbent material, find lightweight jersey gloves. If your employees work in cold climates or refrigerated areas, use heavy-duty, lined gloves for the best protection against the elements.

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find jersey gloves with dotted palms for extra grip

Manufacturers of jersey gloves design some gloves with plastic dots on the palm. These dots reduce the wear on the glove and increase the wearer's grip. Use these gloves for general maintenance and warehouse work.

I recommend: Visit the Galeton website for a large selection of jersey gloves. Buy online from AbcSafetyMart.com, a leading jersey gloves provider. Browse the Carolina Glove Company's large jersey gloves directory to find plastic coated and dotted palm gloves.

Locate lightweight jersey gloves

Lightweight jersey gloves are woven much like dotted gloves but are made without the plastic dots, are more absorbent and breathable. These gloves are made to stretch to fit the hand and make the ft more comfortable.

I recommend: Find jersey gloves without palm dots or lining at Lab Safety Supply. Gallaway Safety & Supply carries a wide range of light to medium weight jersey gloves. Select lightweight gloves to fit your needs from the jersey gloves list at UtilitySafeguard.com.

Buy heavyweight, lined jersey gloves

Lined jersey gloves are designed to withstand cold weather and more intense workloads. These gloves are commonly used in refrigerated or cold areas, for material handling and in the construction and agricultural industries.

I recommend: Read jersey gloves information and compare products at BestValueSupply. WorkGloves.net provides fleece lined jersey gloves in packages of one dozen each. Visit Star Safety/GSS for insulated and lined jersey gloves.
