The use of leather protectors is recommended to increase the life of your rubber gloves. Elwood's leather glove protectors are made from top grain cowhide or goat skin and are designed to fit over insulating gloves. Leather protector gloves should always be used with rubber insulating gloves. For your safety, leather protector gloves and rubber insulating gloves should be inspected at the same time. When inspecting look for metal particles, imbedded wire, abrasive materials or any substance that could cause puncture, abrasion, contamination or deterioration.
