Key Features of Leather Overgloves:

Material: Made from high-quality leather, usually cowhide or goatskin, which is durable, flexible, and offers good resistance to abrasion, cuts, and punctures.

Design: Designed to fit comfortably over insulating rubber gloves, providing an additional layer of protection without compromising dexterity. They often have an adjustable strap or cuff to ensure a secure fit.

Use Case: Primarily used in the electrical industry, especially by linemen, electricians, and other professionals who work with or near live electrical circuits.

Compliance: Often manufactured to meet specific standards (such as ASTM standards in the U.S.) to ensure they provide adequate protection when used with insulating gloves.

Maintenance: Should be inspected regularly for wear and tear, as damaged overgloves can compromise the integrity of the insulating gloves underneath.

Benefits:

Enhanced Protection: Protects the insulating gloves from physical damage, extending their lifespan and ensuring continued electrical insulation.
Improved Grip: The leather surface offers a better grip, which can be crucial when handling tools and materials in electrical work.
Comfort: Provides additional comfort by absorbing sweat and reducing direct contact between insulating gloves and potentially sharp or rough surfaces.

These overgloves are essential in ensuring safety when working in environments where electrical hazards are present, and their use is a standard practice in many industrial settings.

Warning 

These gloves are designed to provide protection to an electrician’s gloves. They do not in themselves provide any level of electrical insulation or protection and should never be used for electrical work on their own for protection against electric shock; as serious injury or death will result.

Always use the correctly specified insulating gloves.

They should also not be used in damp or wet conditions.

You should consult the user instructions of EN 60903 certified gloves before using these leather overgloves.

Service life cannot be specified and depends on application and responsibility of user to ascertain suitability of the glove for its intended use
