Description
Laatu winter work glove 1060W Rock is a lined leather work glove with a palm and back made of cowhide split leather. The glove is category I personal protective equipment and meets the general requirements for protective gloves (EN 420 / EN ISO 21420): sizing, harmlessness, dexterity and markings.
The inner lining is fleece, which insulates and keeps the hand warm in cool and cold outdoor work. Fleece feels soft against the skin and wicks moisture away from the hand, which adds comfort during long shifts.
The wrist has a safety cuff that covers the wrist, stops debris and snow getting into the glove and protects the wrist area from knocks. As is typical for work gloves, the cuff also makes the glove easier to put on and take off.
Split leather is a rough, very hard-wearing leather grade that gives a secure grip on dry and rough items such as timber, bricks and metal profiles. The Laatu winter work glove 1060W Rock is available in several sizes; choose the right size from the size chart.

Laatu winter work glove 1060W 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 tight restricts blood circulation and reduces thermal insulation.
Put the glove on a dry hand. After use, brush off loose dirt and let the glove dry at room temperature; do not dry the leather on a radiator, in an oven or by an open fire, because the leather hardens and cracks. Dry a wet lining with the glove turned inside out. Do not wash the glove in a washing machine. 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 glove 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 has no EN 388 rating, so it must not be used as protection against cuts, punctures or other mechanical hazards. Handling sharp edges, glass, sheet metal and blades requires a cut-resistant glove.
- No EN 511 cold protection rating: The fleece lining adds warmth, but the glove has not been tested for cold resistance under EN 511. For prolonged work in freezing temperatures or in a cold store, choose an EN 511 classified glove.
- No chemical or water protection: The glove is not EN ISO 374 classified. Leather and fleece absorb water, so the glove is not suitable for wet work or handling chemicals.
- No protection against rotating machine parts: Do not use the glove near rotating blades or machine parts because of the risk of entanglement.
- Damaged glove: A tear in the leather or an opened seam removes the protection; dispose of a damaged glove.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What does split leather mean in the Laatu winter work glove 1060W?
Split leather is the lower layer produced when leather is split, and its surface is rough and porous. It withstands wear and gives a secure grip on dry items, but it absorbs water more easily than the grain layer of the leather.
How cold is the glove suitable for?
The fleece lining insulates and keeps the hand warm in cool and cold outdoor work. The glove has not been tested for cold resistance under EN 511, so for prolonged work in freezing temperatures it is worth choosing an EN 511 classified model.
Can the glove be washed?
No. A leather glove is not washed in a washing machine. Brush off loose dirt and dry the glove at room temperature without a direct heat source.
What is the safety cuff for?
The cuff covers the wrist, stops snow and debris getting into the glove and protects the wrist area from knocks. It also makes the glove easier to put on and take off.
