Atlas Therma Palm Dip Glove Large

Worth It for Cold-Weather Grip

Atlas Therma Palm Dip gloves deliver certified thermal protection (EN 511:2006 Level 1) with superior grip through textured latex coating — the combination Montana contractors actually need. The 10-gauge double-napped acrylic terry liner keeps hands warm without turning them into mittens. At approximately 2.88 ounces per pair, they’re light enough to wear all day.

Skip them if you need waterproof protection. The back is breathable/permeable — not suitable for fully submerged tasks. These gloves handle cold and moisture, not swimming pools.

Specification	Value
Material	Seamless knit polyester/cotton/acrylic blend
Liner	10-gauge double-napped acrylic loop-in terry liner
Coating	Natural rubber latex (Palm-dipped and fingertips)
Weight	Approximately 2.88 ounces per pair
EN 388:2016+A1:2018 Rating	2241X - Abrasion Level 2, Cut Level 2, Tear Level 4, Puncture Level 1
EN 511:2006 Rating	010 - Thermal Cold Protection Level 1
ANSI/ISEA 105	Abrasion Level 2

The certifications matter more than marketing claims. EN 511:2006 Level 1 thermal protection means these gloves passed actual cold resistance testing. EN 388 tear resistance of Level 4 puts them near the top of the scale — they’ll survive Montana jobsite abuse.

Built for Montana’s Working Conditions

The rough textured latex palm coating grips wet lumber, icy tools, and frost-covered metal. Pros report excellent warmth-to-dexterity ratio and reliable grip even when gloves are wet. That latex coating stays flexible enough to maintain feel through the glove.

Applications span cold storage and freezer work, outdoor maintenance in winter, handling abrasive materials like bricks and lumber, and operating machinery in cold environments. Basically anywhere you need warm hands that can still grip tools. The seamless knit liner prevents skin irritation during all-day wear, while the breathable back minimizes perspiration.

Not perfect. The latex coating can stiffen slightly in extreme sub-zero temperatures. Below -20°F, consider heavier options. Sizing can run slightly small if wearing over liners — order up if you layer.

Thermal Advantage Over Standard Atlas Options

The Atlas 300 is the non-insulated version, suitable for general purpose use in warmer weather, whereas the 451 adds a thermal napped liner. That terry liner makes all the difference between October and February work. The Atlas 370 features a nitrile coating for better oil resistance and higher dexterity, but lacks the thermal insulation and thick grip of the 451.

Care is simple: spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash with mild detergent; air dry away from direct heat to preserve the latex coating. The durable palm coating lasts multiple washes according to user feedback. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent latex degradation.

FAQ

What’s the actual cold rating on these gloves?

EN 511:2006 Rating: 010 - Thermal Cold Protection Level 1. That’s certified protection against convective and contact cold. Not the warmest gloves available, but warm enough for most Montana construction work while maintaining dexterity.

Are they waterproof?

No. The back is breathable/permeable — not suitable for fully submerged tasks as the back is breathable/permeable. The palm coating resists moisture, but these aren’t designed for working in standing water.

How do they fit compared to standard work gloves?

Large (Size 9) designed for average to large adult hands with circumference roughly 8-9 inches. Sizing can run slightly small if wearing over liners. The elastic wrist cuff helps seal out debris.

What kind of warranty do they carry?

SHOWA products are generally guaranteed against manufacturer defects at the time of shipment. As a consumable/wearable safety item, they do not carry a long-term performance warranty. Standard return policies of retailers apply. Unused products can typically be returned within the retailer’s window (e.g., 30-day returns for unused items).

What makes them better than cheaper thermal gloves?

Certification and proven grip. EN 388:2016+A1:2018 Rating: 2241X proves measurable performance in abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture resistance. The rough textured latex provides enhanced handling in wet and dry conditions — cheap thermal gloves turn slippery when wet.
