Gloves that boost precision and productivity

Posted on Tuesday 27 January 2026

ANSELL LIMITED has announced the launch of its HyFlex Precision Comfort Series with AEROFIT Technology, a new line of industrial gloves designed to boost precision and productivity of workers by providing a true second-skin fit for exceptional comfort and tactile control.

The series was developed in response to a common challenge in industries such as automotive, aerospace, metal fabrication, and equipment manufacturing: workers removing gloves due to discomfort or lack of tactile sensitivity to complete fine motor tasks. This behaviour increases the risk of injury and reduces compliance with safety protocols. HyFlex Precision Comfort Series addresses these concerns with a breathable, second-skin design, featuring AEROFIT Technology, an innovative, flexible foam nitrile coating that is up to 30% thinner1 for enhanced tactility and sensitivity. It combines reliable cut and abrasion protection with premium comfort delivering greater precision and productivity, while promoting consistent glove use in performance-driven environments. 

“When gloves are uncomfortable or difficult to work in, they don’t get worn consistently. That’s a major safety concern,” said Paul Tierney, Vice President, Global Product Marketing at Ansell. “HyFlex Precision Comfort Series with AEROFIT Technology is designed to close that gap. It helps workers stay compliant by delivering the performance and protection they need to carry out intricate precision tasks with confidence and ease.”

HyFlex Precision Comfort Series has been validated through real-world user feedback across key industries2, delivering measurable benefits in accuracy, productivity, and consistent use. These results reinforce its value for safety leaders seeking to improve compliance while maintaining high performance: 

  • 98% of professionals surveyed preferred HyFlex gloves for precision handling tasks and all-day wear2
  • Users wearing HyFlex gloves completed precision tasks up to 42% faster than using comparable gloves on the market3

HyFlex Precision Comfort gloves are now available through authorised Ansell distributors and sales representatives in select regions.
