Description
Laatu winter work glove 1028W is a lined winter glove built with a waterproof membrane, Thinsulate thermal lining and fleece lining. The glove is intended for outdoor work in cold and wet conditions where the hand must stay warm and dry for the whole shift.
The back of the hand is flexible Fourway fabric that stretches in four directions and follows the movement of the hand. The palm and fingers are synthetic leather, and the palm has a separate reinforced palm patch that adds abrasion resistance and damps vibration from handles.
A reflective strip runs across the back of the hand and improves the visibility of hand signals and the hand at dusk and in the dark. The wrist is protected by a long wrist guard that extends over the wrist and stops snow, water and cold air getting into the glove from the sleeve end.
The body of the glove is hi-vis yellow and black, and the wrist guard has a non-stick edge binding. The Laatu winter work glove 1028W is available in several sizes; choose the right size from the size chart.

Laatu winter work glove 1028W instructions for use:
Inspect the glove visually before each use. Do not use the glove if the outer material is torn or the seams have opened; damage lets water and cold through. Choose a size that fits closely without squeezing: a glove that is too tight reduces the insulation of the lining and cools the hand.
Put the glove on a dry hand and pull the wrist guard over the sleeve end so that snow and water cannot get in. After use, remove loose dirt with a damp cloth and let the glove dry at room temperature. Do not dry the glove on a heater, in direct heat or in a tumble dryer, because heat damages the membrane and the lining. Store dry and protected from light.
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 or handling hot objects; synthetic materials can melt and cause burns.
- No mechanical protection rating: The glove is CE category I protective equipment (EN 420). It has no EN 388 rating, so it is not suitable for work with a risk of cuts, punctures or impacts; use a rated protective glove for these.
- No cold protection rating: The glove has not been tested for cold protection under EN 511. The lining insulates against cold, but the glove must not be used in special conditions with a risk of frostbite without a separate risk assessment.
- No chemical or electrical protection: The glove is not EN ISO 374 classified and must not be used for handling chemicals or for electrical work.
- 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 or an opened seam removes the waterproofing and thermal insulation; dispose of a damaged glove.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Is the Laatu winter work glove 1028W really waterproof?
The glove’s construction has a waterproof membrane that stops water getting through the glove. It stays waterproof as long as the outer material and seams are intact.
What does the EN 420 marking mean?
EN 420 is the general standard for protective gloves, covering sizing, harmlessness of materials and markings, among other things. It is a CE category I requirement and does not include mechanical protection or cold protection tests.
Why does a glove need a reflective strip?
The reflective strip on the back of the hand makes hand signals and hand movements visible at dusk, for example in traffic control, in yard areas and during loading.
How does a wrist guard differ from an ordinary knitted wrist cuff?
The wrist guard is a long collar that extends over the wrist, goes over the sleeve end and stops snow and water running into the glove. An ordinary knitted cuff only tightens the glove at the wrist.
Can the glove be machine washed?
Clean the glove by wiping it with a damp cloth and dry it at room temperature. Machine washing and hot drying damage the membrane and the lining.
