Description
Laatu winter glove 1010W is a lined leather glove with a palm and back made of grain goatskin and an inside lined with fleece. The glove is a traditional driver-style leather glove made entirely of one and the same leather, without a separate fabric back. The model is intended for cool and cold conditions that call for a warm but thin and adaptable glove.
Goatskin is soft and strong: it gives a good feel in the hand from the first use and does not need a long breaking-in period. The leather breathes, so the hand does not get sweaty as easily as in coated gloves. The leather palm material withstands abrasion and extends the life of the glove in work that involves handling rough surfaces, tools and loads.
The wrist has elastic cuffs that tighten the glove around the wrist. The snug wrist keeps the glove in place, stops snow and debris getting into the glove and helps keep the warmth of the fleece lining. The driver cut and wing thumb keep the seam construction of the palm simple, which reduces chafing and improves grip.
The Laatu winter glove 1010W is category I personal protective equipment and meets the general requirements for protective gloves (EN 420 / EN ISO 21420). It has no EN 388 mechanical protection rating and no EN 511 cold protection rating, so it is intended for low-risk work. The glove is available in several sizes; choose the right size from the size chart.

Laatu winter glove 1010W instructions for use:
Inspect the glove visually before each use. Do not use the glove if the leather is torn or the seams have opened. Choose a size that fits closely without squeezing; a glove that is too large weakens the grip and one that is too small compresses the fleece lining and reduces thermal insulation.
Put the glove on a dry hand and pull the elastic cuff over the wrist. After use, brush off loose dirt and let the glove dry at room temperature without a direct heat source; drying too fast hardens the leather. Store dry and protected from light. Replace the glove when the leather is worn through or the lining has compacted.
Warnings:
- No protection against fire or heat: The Laatu winter glove 1010W is not EN 407 classified and does not protect against fire, flames, sparks, hot surfaces or molten metal. Do not use the glove for welding, hot work, grilling or handling hot objects.
- No mechanical protection rating: The glove is category I protective equipment with no EN 388 rating. It is not suitable for handling sharp edges, glass, sheet metal or blades; use a cut-resistant glove for these.
- No cold protection rating: The glove has no EN 511 rating, so it must not be used in work with a risk of frostbite or for prolonged handling of cold objects.
- Not waterproof: The leather and fleece lining get wet in wet conditions and the thermal insulation weakens; change to a dry glove.
- No chemical or electrical protection: The glove is not EN ISO 374 classified and does not protect against chemicals or electricity.
- No protection against rotating machine parts: Do not use the glove near rotating blades or machine parts because of the risk of entanglement.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What temperature is the Laatu winter glove 1010W good for?
