Ninja 504L Ninja Ice HPT Hi-Viz Glove

The Ninja N9690HV delivers extreme cold weather protection that actually works when Montana temperatures drop below zero. HPT coating remains soft and flexible down to -58°F — well beyond typical winter work glove ratings. The high-visibility lime color keeps workers visible during short winter days, while the double-layer construction with 7-gauge acrylic terry liner provides serious insulation without sacrificing grip.

This glove targets contractors who can’t stop working when the mercury plummets. The 3/4 dipped coverage over knuckles protects the most exposed parts of the hand, while the HPT foam coating handles both wet and dry conditions reliably.

Cold Weather Performance That Matters

Most winter work gloves turn into stiff boards when temperatures hit single digits. The N9690HV stays flexible at temperatures that would crack standard nitrile or PVC coatings. HPT coating remains soft and flexible down to -58°F (-50°C) — that’s colder than any recorded temperature in Montana history.

The secret lies in the HPT foam coating technology. The coating encapsulates air molecules for enhanced grip and impact absorption, creating a cushioning layer that maintains flexibility in extreme cold. HPT (High-Performance Technology) on the palms and fingertips provides excellent wet or dry grip by repelling liquids.

Specification	Value
Cold Flexibility Rating	-58°F (-50°C)
Shell Material	15-Gauge High-Visibility Lime Nylon
Liner Material	7-Gauge Acrylic Terry (Insulated)
Coating Coverage	3/4 Dipped (Over-the-Knuckle)
CE Cold Rating	EN 511 02X

The double-layer construction combines a 15-gauge nylon shell construction with that thick acrylic terry interior. This setup traps warm air while the outer shell blocks wind. For comparison, standard nitrile/PVC often hardens and cracks at these temperatures, making them useless for detail work.

Protection and Safety Features

The high-visibility lime color isn’t just for show. Montana winter workdays start and end in darkness. That bright color matters when operating equipment or working near traffic. The over-the-knuckle coating for additional protection and liquid resistance extends coverage where standard dipped gloves leave gaps.

CE Rating	3232 (Abrasion: 3, Cut: 2, Tear: 3, Puncture: 2)

These aren’t cut-resistant gloves — the focus here is cold protection and grip, not blade protection. Some users note that while the glove excels in cold insulation and grip, it may be less suitable for heavy-duty cut protection or prolonged abrasive tasks.

The gloves include Actifresh® to prevent odors and eliminate bacteria, which matters when wearing insulated gloves all day. Nobody wants to deal with funk from sweaty work gloves.

Size Range and Applications

8 sizes from XS to 4X available means finding the right fit for any crew member. The knit wrist cuff for secure fit keeps cold air and debris out while maintaining flexibility.

Primary applications include:

• Cold storage and freezer warehouses
• Commercial fishing
• Outdoor construction and maintenance
• Agriculture and farming
• Machine operation in cold environments
• Refrigeration maintenance
• Winter landscaping and groundskeeping

Professional contractors generally view the Ninja 504M Ninja Ice Hiviz Glove as a reliable cold-weather work glove with notable strengths in insulation and grip, especially in wet or dry conditions. User feedback highlights “Extremely warm and soft interior” and “Excellent grip even when wet or icy”.

FAQ

What’s the actual temperature rating for these gloves?

The coating remains soft and flexible down to -58°F (-50°C). That’s the coating flexibility rating, not a comfort rating. The 7-gauge acrylic terry liner provides insulation, though individual cold tolerance varies.

Can these handle touchscreens?

Limited; HPT coating is not specifically optimized for capacitive touchscreens. Choose between warm hands or phone access.

How should these gloves be cleaned?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water for longevity. Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation. Commercial laundering is possible but may reduce the lifespan of the HPT coating.

What’s included with purchase?

One pair of Ninja® Ice Insulated Hi-Vis Gloves. That’s it — no extras or accessories.

Are these chemical-resistant gloves?

Resistant to many oils and liquids; not intended for immersion in hazardous chemicals. These are cold-weather work gloves, not chemical handling gloves.
