Showa 377 Nitrile-Coated Waterproof Grip Gloves

Designed to keep your hands clean and dry in even the oiliest of environments, the Showa 377 Nitrile-Coated Waterproof Grip Gloves provide an excellent grip no matter how messy the job gets. The comfortable seamless liner and liquid-proof nitrile coating is combined with an extra layer of nitrile foam on the palm that offers excellent grip and dexterity in wet, dry and oily environments.

Why Do We Love the Showa 377 Grip Gloves?

These gloves are some of our favourites, standing out from competition in terms of:

• Grip: The tough nitrile foam grips just about anything – keeping hold where other gloves fail
• Dexterity: Gloves that combine this sort of grip with fine dexterity are great for those fiddly jobs
• Comfort: A soft and seamless polyester liner won’t catch on common irritation areas
• Waterproofing: Liquid-proof nitrile layer keeps hands dry while snug knit cuff keeps dirt out

How Durable are These GLoves?

The Showa 377 Nitrile Foam Grip Gloves offer excellent durability and are extremely resistant to abrasion, ensuring they’ll stand up to more jobs than similar gloves. Combining great abrasion resistance with added Level 2 resistance to tears, these gloves let you get your hands dirty without worrying they’ll give out before you do.

How Grippy Are the Showa Waterproof Grip Gloves?

Any glove can be grippy in dry conditions, but these gloves maintain strong grip in wet, oily and greasy environments as well. The nitrile comes alive in tougher tasks, providing a sure hold even when fully submerged in a slippery substance.

How Comfortable Are the Showa 377 Waterproof Gloves?

Designed to keep your hands comfortable for hours on end, these gloves feature a soft polyester liner with a seamless design that avoids the irritation sometimes caused by seams in contact with the skin. The reinforced knit cuff will help to ensure dirt and debris stays out of the gloves and away from your hands, making sure your fingers will come out clean and dry.

What Makes These Gloves So Dexterous?

Made with a lighter design with flexible nitrile, these gloves will move with your fingers to allow easy movement without causing hand fatigue during tough jobs. The light materials will allow you to pick up small pieces, making them excellent for mechanical repairs, DIY and assembly with oily or wet parts.

What Sorts of Environments Are These Gloves Useful In?

If you’re looking for grip and dexterity, these gloves are great in almost any environment. They particularly shine with their resistance to oil, grease and hydrocarbons, keeping hands dry and grippy when nothing else will work.

What Does the Antibacterial Coating Do?

These gloves are finished with an antibacterial treatment, which will help to reduce odours and bacteria forming after long hours of use. The black-on-blue design is also helpful for hygiene, as it makes dirt easy to spot for quick rinses or more intense cleaning. 

Are These Gloves Good for Cleaning?

While these gloves are great for all sorts of applications, they’re particularly great as cleaning gloves due to their combination of high grip and liquid protection. While they don’t provide chemical resistance for use with harsh chemicals, we’ve found them to be a great option for simple cleaning with soap and water.

Colour-Coded Cuffs

Each size of these gloves will feature a different cuff trim colour. This makes it easy to identify which size you are using at a glance, and improves the speed of size identification for easy selection on site.
