Brass Knuckle SmartFlex BK360 gloves are designed to keep hands warm and protected all day, no matter how low the temperature drops. These gloves are the trifecta, the manufacturer says: full insulation to provide long-wearing protection from excessive cold, a soft and comfortable fit, and black-on-black styling.

It starts with a layered 13-gauge nylon shell augmented with a 7-gauge napped acrylic lower liner, designed for protection from the cold. Next, a seamless and stretchable full knit wrist helps prevent dirt, debris, and cold air from getting inside the glove. Foam latex coating on full fingers, palm, and 3/4 deep on the back remains soft in cold conditions. Its elasticity and durability also improve puncture resistance to keep out moisture.

The sponge-like foam coating is a dry gripping surface and, when surfaces are wet, the foam latex draws liquids away from the gripping surface, improving slip resistance. Black-on-black style conceals dirt, while the glove’s loose fit improves insulation yet still provides excellent dexterity. 

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health cautions that workers who work in cold environments may be at risk of cold stress. Extremely cold or wet weather can be dangerous and can cause occupational illnesses and injuries such as hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot, and chilblains. SmartFlex BK360 gloves help keep chill out and comfort in with layers of insulated protection.
