PIONEER Leather Premium Green Lined – Double Gauntlet

Description

PIONEER Leather Premium Green Lined – Double Gauntlet

The PIONEER Leather Premium Green Lined – Double Gauntlet is a high-performance thermal and mechanical barrier designed for the most grueling industrial applications in South Africa. Featuring a specialized green-dyed premium split leather, this glove is engineered for high-visibility and superior resistance to heat-induced shrinkage. The hallmark “Double Gauntlet” design provides a rigid, dual-layered protective chimney for the forearm, ensuring that the cuff remains open and structured even under intense thermal stress. This is critical for South African furnace and foundry operators who require maximum coverage and the ability to “flick” the glove off quickly in the event of a molten metal splash.

Technical Specifications:

• Primary Material: Premium-grade “Industrial Green” select split cow leather for enhanced durability and heat stability.
• Cuff Architecture: Double-layered reinforced gauntlet providing unmatched forearm shielding and structural integrity.
• Internal Lining: Full-length thick green cotton-fleece lining for superior thermal insulation and sweat management.
• Stitching: Reinforced with 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® heat-resistant thread to prevent seam failure near open flames.
• Reinforcement: Fully welted seams with additional leather patches on the palm and thumb for extended wear life.
• Heat Resistance: Excellent attenuation of radiant and convective heat in high-amperage welding and smelting environments.

Compliance & Standards:

• EN 407:2004: 424X4X (High ratings for flammability, contact heat, and resistance to molten metal).
• EN 388:2016: 4344X (Maximum Abrasion, Tear, and Puncture resistance for heavy industrial labor).
• SANS 1228: Fully compliant with South African National Standards for high-risk thermal protection.
• CE Category III: Certified for protection against complex and irreversible thermal hazards.

Ideal Application: Primary use case includes heavy-duty foundry work, furnace tapping, slag handling, and high-intensity industrial welding within South African mining and metal refineries.
