THT™ design features of the GS15NT glove

These knitted gloves are designed according to Superior's 'True Hand Technology' or THT™. This design perfectly fits the hand, since it takes into account the human hand physiognomy, that is, the crotch between the little finger and the ring finger is located just a little lower than the other finger crotches. This glove provides a dependable grip on wet and dry surfaces.

Breathable cotton knit properties

Cotton has a high water-absorbing capacity and can deal as well with sebum without getting damp. This fabric also has good breathable characteristics, it is hypoallergenic and it offers a nice touch and good comfort which suits perfectly those who have sensitive skin. Cotton has low thermal-conductivity, therefore in summer it prevents your skin from heating, and in winter it preserves the warmth of your body.

Latex-free nitrile coating properties

Nitrile is the best alternative to latex since it offers an excellent flexibility, a secure fit and unequalled toughness and comfort. Nitrile is in fact an elastomer synthetized by copolymerizing butadiene with acrylonitrile. This material is quite resistant to domestic products such as ammonia, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, paints, solvents, oils, greasy substances and hydrocarbons. Nitrile also offers an excellent grip on dry surfaces and an average grip on wet surfaces.
