Wholesale Impact Resistance Gloves & Heavy-Duty Anti-Impact Work Gloves

Discover our high-performance impact resistance gloves designed to protect hands against crushing, pinching, and severe kinetic impacts. Certified to ANSI/ISEA 138 and EN 388 standards, our heavy-duty anti-impact gloves feature flexible TPR (Thermo-Plastic Rubber) back-of-hand exoskeletons, cut-resistant liners, and high-grip palm coatings. Available for factory-direct wholesale, custom OEM branding, and bulk distribution.

Understanding Impact Protection Standards: ANSI/ISEA 138 Performance Ratings

When selecting heavy-duty hand protection, understanding performance standards is vital for site safety compliance. The ANSI/ISEA 138 standard rates impact performance across three levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) based on peak transmitted force in kilonewtons (kN), with Level 3 offering the highest shock absorption. Our impact resistant work gloves pair TPR back-of-hand protection with specialized palm technologies—such as sandy nitrile for oily grip, leather for severe abrasion, or XRD/D3O foam for anti-vibration tool operation. Explore our certified range below to find the ideal impact protection for your industry requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are impact resistance gloves and how do they protect workers?

Impact resistance gloves are specialized heavy-duty safety gloves designed to protect hand bones and knuckles from crushing injuries, pinch points, and blunt force strikes. They feature TPR (Thermo-Plastic Rubber) or specialized foam armor molded onto the back of the fingers, knuckles, and metacarpal area to absorb and redirect impact energy away from the hand.

What is the ANSI/ISEA 138 standard for impact resistant gloves?

ANSI/ISEA 138 is the North American performance standard for back-of-hand impact protection. It measures peak transmitted force during an impact test and classifies gloves into three performance tiers: Level 1 (up to 9 kN), Level 2 (up to 6.5 kN), and Level 3 (up to 4 kN, offering the highest level of energy absorption and protection).

Which industries require ANSI-certified impact resistant work gloves?

Impact resistant safety gloves are essential in heavy-duty industries including oil and gas drilling, heavy construction, mining, demolition, equipment rigging, automotive manufacturing, and heavy equipment maintenance where machinery, slipping tools, or falling objects present high pinch and crush hazards.

Do impact resistance gloves also provide cut and abrasion protection?

Yes. Most of our professional impact gloves incorporate multi-hazard defense. The inner shell is often knit with high-tenacity HPPE, steel wire, or aramid fibers to deliver ANSI Cut Levels from A4 up to A9, while palm coatings (such as sandy nitrile, micro-foam, or heavy leather) provide high EN 388 abrasion and puncture resistance.

How do TPR impact gloves maintain finger dexterity for tool operation?

Our anti-impact gloves utilize segmented, 3D-molded TPR exoskeletons with flex zones strategically positioned over finger joints. This ergonomic design allows full range of motion and natural hand closure around wrenches and machinery controls without causing hand fatigue or stiffness.

Do you offer custom OEM design and private labeling for impact gloves?

Yes, YUGA SAFE offers comprehensive OEM/ODM manufacturing. We can customize TPR mold patterns, color schemes, palm coating formulations, brand logos (via TPR molding, heat transfer, or woven labels), and custom retail packaging for bulk distributor orders.
