Description
The Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro is a lined synthetic winter glove with CE classification Cat I and it meets the basic requirements of the EN 420 standard. The glove is intended for handling and outdoor work in the cold season that needs an insulating lining, a soft feel and a secure grip without a separate mechanical protection requirement.
The outer material of the glove is a synthetic surface material that is waterproof. The continuous synthetic surface stops water and slush soaking through the glove, so the lining stays dry and the thermal insulation is kept even in wet conditions. The surface is smooth and soft, so it does not chafe during long use.
Inside is a Teddy pile lining that forms a thick, air-trapping layer between the hand and the outer material. The Teddy lining insulates and feels soft against the skin. The lining is a fixed part of the glove, so no separate loose liner is needed and the lining cannot twist when you put the glove on.
The construction is flexible and breathable, and the wrist has a wrist guard that covers the wrist and stops snow and cold air getting into the glove. The Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro is available in several sizes; choose the right size from the size chart.
Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro, intended use and suitability:
The Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro is a low-risk protective glove (Cat I) intended for cold and damp handling work. The glove suits work where thermal insulation and a waterproof outer surface matter more than mechanical protection. When the work involves abrasion or impacts, use a mechanically rated glove such as the Laatu fitter’s glove 4131X, and for cut risks a cut-resistant glove such as the Laatu cut-resistant glove 3231CX Cut Light.
- Outdoor storage and yard maintenance: Handling pallets, boxes and equipment in snow and slush, where the waterproof outer surface keeps the Teddy lining dry.
- Property maintenance and snow clearing: Using a snow shovel, broom and light equipment, where the soft surface and thick lining keep the hands warm.
- Transport and delivery work: Short, repeated outdoor handling and handling doors, lifting straps and parcels in the cold.
- Winter work in agriculture and forestry: Handling fences, feed and equipment, where the wrist guard stops snow getting into the glove.
- Maintenance of leisure and sports facilities: Maintaining pitches and ski trails and servicing equipment in damp and cold conditions.

Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro instructions for use:
Inspect the glove visually before each use. Do not use the glove if the outer surface is torn or seams have opened, because the waterproofing and thermal insulation are lost. Choose a size that fits closely without squeezing: a glove that is too tight restricts blood circulation and so also reduces thermal insulation.
Put the glove on a dry hand and pull the wrist guard over or under the sleeve depending on your workwear. In cold conditions the thermal insulation depends on a dry lining, so change a wet glove for a dry one. After use, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and let the glove dry at room temperature turned so that the lining can air; do not dry the glove on a radiator, with a fan heater or near an open fire. Store dry and protected from light. Replace the glove when the outer surface is worn through or the lining has compressed.
Warnings:
- No protection against fire or heat: The Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro 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; the synthetic surface material and Teddy lining can melt and cause burns.
- No mechanical protection rating: The glove is a Cat I protective glove that is not EN 388 tested. The glove does not protect against abrasion, cuts, punctures or impacts; for handling sharp objects, glass, sheet metal and blades, use an EN 388 classified glove.
- No cold protection rating: The glove has not been EN 511 tested, so there are no numerical limits under the standard for its cold protection. During prolonged work in freezing temperatures, take breaks and warm your hands.
- No chemical protection: The glove is not EN ISO 374 classified and must not be used for handling chemicals, solvents or oils.
- No protection against rotating machine parts: Do not use the glove near rotating blades or machine parts because of the risk of entanglement.
- Wet glove: A wet lining conducts heat and increases the risk of frostbite; change a wet glove for a dry one.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What do the CE classification Cat I and EN 420 mean for the Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro?
Cat I is the class under the PPE Regulation for equipment that protects against minimal risks. EN 420 is the general standard for protective gloves, setting requirements for sizing, dexterity, harmlessness of materials and markings, among other things. Cat I classification does not include testing for mechanical protection (EN 388) or cold protection (EN 511).
Is the Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro waterproof?
Yes. The synthetic outer surface of the glove is waterproof and stops water and slush soaking into the lining. The waterproofing is a property of the material and is not based on the water penetration test of EN 511.
What is a Teddy lining and how does it differ from a fleece lining?
A Teddy lining is a thick, long-pile, wool-like knit that traps air in the pile layer and therefore insulates more effectively than thin fleece. A fleece lining is thinner and gives the glove a lower profile, which keeps fingertip feel better.
Is the Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro suitable for installation work?
The glove is intended for handling work in the cold season, and the thick Teddy lining reduces fingertip feel. For winter installation work that needs a thinner lining and a more precise grip, choose the Laatu fitter’s glove 3121X.
Can the Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro be machine washed?
The manufacturer gives no machine washing instructions for the glove. Remove dirt by wiping with a damp cloth, then dry the glove at room temperature.
Recycling instructions:
- Glove: The Laatu winter work glove Teddy Pro is a combination of synthetic surface material and textile lining that cannot be separated by material. Put the glove in mixed waste or energy waste according to local waste management instructions.
- Packaging: Sort the hanger card into cardboard collection and any plastic bag into plastic collection.
