Wonder Grip’s THERMO+ line delivers waterproof protection with flexibility down to -20°C (-4°F) — that’s the difference between keeping your crew productive in February versus sending them home. The WG-338 model combines 13-gauge brushed acrylic insulation with double-coated latex that maintains grip in wet, dry, and oily conditions.
Skip these if you’re working indoors or only need basic cold protection. Standard fleece-lined leather gloves cost half as much and work fine above freezing. But for outdoor construction, cold storage work, or anyone handling wet materials in sub-zero temperatures, the THERMO+ platform’s combination of waterproofing, dexterity, and touchscreen compatibility solves real jobsite problems.
Cold Weather Performance That Actually Matters
The EN511 rating of X21 tells the real story — these gloves maintain flexibility at -20°C while staying 100% waterproof. That’s not marketing fluff. The 13-gauge brushed acrylic liner provides thermal insulation without the bulk that makes precision work impossible.
Contact heat resistance up to 250°C might seem odd for a winter glove, but anyone who’s grabbed a hot tool handle or equipment part in cold weather knows why it matters. Your hands don’t have to come off just because you touched something warm.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Cold Flexibility | -20°C (-4°F) |
| EN511 Cold Rating | X21 |
| Contact Heat Resistance | 250°C |
| Waterproof Rating | 100% (double latex coating) |
| EN388 Mechanical | 2X41C |
| Cut Resistance | Level C/A3 |
Wonder Grip Technology™ provides up to 58% higher friction on latex compared to standard coatings. In practice, that means wet lumber, icy tools, and oily equipment stay in your grip instead of hitting the ground.
Real-World Applications Beyond the Spec Sheet
The touchscreen compatibility changes how crews work. No more pulling gloves off to check plans on a tablet or answer the phone. Small detail, huge difference when it’s 10 below.
High-visibility orange color isn’t just for OSHA compliance — it’s about spotting your crew in low winter light or heavy snow. The double-coated latex covers everything except the wrist, giving you full waterproof protection where you need it while maintaining breathability at the cuff.
Applications span from outdoor construction and public works to agriculture, mining, and food handling. The FDA and EU food contact compliance means the same gloves work for morning livestock feeding and afternoon construction — versatility that matters on diversified operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these compare to standard insulated leather work gloves?
THERMO+ gloves offer superior dexterity at sub-zero temperatures compared to standard bulky winter gloves. Leather freezes stiff below 20°F. These maintain flexibility down to -20°C (-4°F) while staying waterproof. Trade-off is durability — latex won’t outlast quality leather in abrasive conditions.
Q: What’s the actual warmth level compared to other winter work gloves?
The 13-gauge brushed acrylic liner provides moderate insulation — enough for active work in cold conditions, not enough for standing around. These are built for maintaining dexterity and grip at temperatures below freezing, not maximum warmth.
Q: Can you actually use a touchscreen with these on?
Yes — touchscreen compatible (IT compatibility) is built into the design. Works with phones, tablets, and equipment displays without removing gloves.
Q: What sizes do these come in?
Size 10 corresponds to X-Large with approximately 10 inches hand circumference. The line includes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large options.
Q: How do you clean these gloves?
Gloves are pre-washed using TPDT™ technology. Hand wash in cold water and air dry away from direct heat to preserve the latex coating. Machine washing isn’t recommended — it’ll degrade the waterproofing faster than anything else you can do.
