Get ready for winter with Geo-Therm

Sadly, summer is drawing to a close and the cooler months are just around the corner; it’s time to get ready for winter.  We can anticipate wet, windy weather punctuated with bitterly cold spells and the distinct possibility of snow and ice.  However, outdoor work in industries like construction, utilities, maintenance and agriculture never stops, we just find new and better ways to combat the elements.

New innovation from MCR Safety

MCR Safety recognise that aggressive weather conditions are a serious hazard for working hands as they can quickly become chapped and sore.  No matter how hardy you are, your hands are always vulnerable if they’re not protected. That’s why MCR’s Technologists are constantly researching new ways to improve winter hand protection. Geo-Therm is their latest innovation, a winter glove with a truly astonishing list of protective properties.

Waterproof…

Possibly the feature that best sets Geo-Therm apart from its rivals is its waterproof. This new glove not only has incredible thermal insulation in the form of a high-performance acrylic liner, it also provides a 360º barrier against liquid and oily fluids. A full smooth Nitrile coating from cuff to fingertip repels moisture from all angles. The soft supple nature of the Nitrile allows for great flexibility, dexterity and freedom of movement so you can carry out even the most intricate tasks with ease.

Grip…

A second palm coating of sandy Nitrile provides the grip, reliable and firm, just what’s needed for all handling tasks. This additional layer of coating also increases the glove’s durability and strength.

Up to 20% lighter…

Geo-Therm is light as a feather!  Made on an 18 guage machine, the form-fitting shell is up to 20% lighter than a traditional dual-layer Nitrile glove!  The lighter the glove, the less hand fatigue, the more flexibility, manual dexterity and simple comfort.  This glove is designed to work with the body and stay on the hand for all day use.

Touch screen fingertips…

When it’s freezing cold, you don’t want to remove gloves to use your phone or tablet; no need to do so with Geo-Therm, touch-screen fingertips see to that.  It’s also sanitised in the manufacturing process for hand hygiene and comfort.

Certified thermal credentials…

As you would expect from a winter glove, Geo-Therm has been tested to EN511 standards.  There are three separate elements to the test which can be understood as follows:

Convective Cold, this measures how the glove will shield the hand from cold air. Scores are measured from 0 to 4.

Contact Cold, how the well the glove will provide a barrier when handling sub-zero material. Scores are measured from 0 to 4.

Water Permeability, a simple test to measure if the glove is water-proof or not. Scores are measured as a basic yes or no, no scoring 0 and yes scoring 1.

Geo-Therm achieves a very respectable EN511 221 making it a highly effective winter glove.
