Boss Lined Leather Glove Medium

Boss lined leather work gloves deliver exactly what Montana contractors need — multiple material options from premium goatskin to heavy-duty cowhide, with specialized linings ranging from thermal pile to cut-resistant Kevlar. The lineup includes premium grain leather, split leather, top-grain goatskin, cowhide, and deerskin options, with pile lining, para-aramid (Kevlar) lining, or thermal lining choices.

The 4176M model features tough split leather with pile lining in a gunn-cut design with keystone thumb, shirred elastic back and open cuff. At medium size, these gloves fit hands with 8-8.5 inch circumference.

Material Options and Protection Levels

The material choices matter. The Boss Top Grain Goatskin Leather Drivers Glove (#9916) achieves ANSI Cut Level 7 with its Kevlar blend lining. That’s serious cut protection for anyone handling sharp materials or working around equipment.

The KS992K model uses high-quality cowhide leather with a para-aramid lining for enhanced protection and abrasion resistance. The KS992K also provides arc-flash protection — critical for electrical contractors working on rural infrastructure.

Model	Material	Lining	Key Protection
4176M	Split leather palm	Pile lining	Cold weather, general work
KS992K	AR-top grain cowhide	Para-Aramid with Kevlar stitching	Arc-flash certified
#9916	Top grain goatskin	Kevlar blend	ANSI Cut Level 7
KS993KOA	Top-grain goatskin	Para-Aramid	Oil Armor finish

The KS993KOA model features Oil Armor finish for moisture and oil resistance — essential for equipment operators dealing with hydraulic fluid and diesel.

Cold Weather Performance

Montana winters demand serious insulation options. Boss offers pile lining, para-aramid (Kevlar) lining, and thermal lining options. The fleece-lined utility model includes a padded synthetic leather palm, double-layer fleece lining, and wind-resistant shell.

The pile lining works. The 4176M’s pile lining combined with tough split leather handles temperature swings while maintaining dexterity. The wind-resistant shell construction on fleece-lined models blocks the worst of those chinook gusts.

Who Should Buy These

Worth it for contractors who need versatility in one glove line. The material range — from premium grain leather through deerskin — covers everything from delicate finish work to heavy equipment operation. Applications include driving and automotive operation, general industrial work, agriculture and harvesting, construction and heavy labor, protection against cold weather, and arc-flash protection on specific extreme models.

Major retailers offer 30-day returns through The Growers Depot, Surry General Store, and PK Safety. The KS992K model earned 5.0 stars, while the 4176M rated 4.2 stars across 10 reviews.

The real value shows in the specialized protection options. Standard work gloves won’t cut it for arc-flash hazards or ANSI Cut Level 7 requirements. Boss delivers both in driver-style comfort. For Montana’s mix of cold weather, heavy equipment, and electrical work, that range matters.

Yes. The KS992K model provides arc-flash protection with its para-aramid lining and Kevlar stitching, specifically designed for electrical work.

What’s the difference between pile lining and thermal lining?
