Brushed Tricot is a soft, knitted nylon tricot over polyfoam for warmth and comfort.

Clute Cut models are designed for a roomy, comfortable fit with no seam on the palm side of the glove. The palm side, including the fingers, features one continuous piece of material.

ComforTemp(R) Insulation A new phase-change insulation technology that actually stores body heat, unlike ordinary insulations which depend upon less effective "air-barrier" principle. Body heat is stored by ComforTemp insulation and slowly re-released to the body as needed by automatically controlling temperature levels in the garment much like a thermostat.

Continuous Thumb this common construction is made with one continuous piece of leather so there is no seam on palm.

CRF(R) a launderable, cut resistant fiber from Hoechst Celanese Corporation.

Desert Dri[tm] a waterproof liner found in sports gloves.

Foam means polyurethane.

Full First Fingers have no seam on the outer side of the first or "index" finger. Because this outer edge is often a heavy wear surface, full finger construction adds to the wear life of the glove - there is no seam to weaken or burst.

Garden Tips - Most gloves give out in one of two places: the tops or the bottoms of the fingers. We've solved these common problems with a very uncommon solution: an extra layer of material - leather, vinyl or Duraflex nitrile - is sewn to the outside tips of all fingers and thumbs.

Gauntlet an elongated cuff to provide extra protection.

Grips(R) leather gloves are pre-curved. They hug the palm so there is less bunching up when the hand is closed, providing a better grip with freer movement.

Gunn Cut gloves are extra comfortable because they have no seams on the back. The palm side of the middle two fingers is a separate part of the glove pattern and is sewn to the palm at the base of those particular fingers. In full leather and leather palm styles, this seam is reinforced with a welt that gives additional resistance to wear in this critical area.

Hob-Nob(R) Cotton Blend gloves feature plastic dots on our poly/cotton blend material for longer wear and a sure grip.

Hollofil(R) II is a high performance Dacron polyester "high loft" insulation made from fiber with a heat-retaining "hole" in the center of each fiber.

Inseam construction means that the glove has been sewn with its seams on the inside, protecting it from abrasion and wear.

Keystone Thumbs are specially designed one-piece, inset thumbs that are double-sewn and have double thickness at the critical wear point. This construction allows extra comfort and wear.

Lanolin is the common name for wool wax. Lanolin has many applications, but is most valued for its ability to be absorbed by the skin. Your hands are conditioned as you wear the gloves.

Microlar 3 Waterproof System is a breathable polyurethane fabric that keeps external moisture out while allowing perspiration to escape.

Outseam construction gloves tend to be more comfortable because the wearer is not exposed to an inside seam against his or her hand. Outseam construction for work gloves, which are exposed to heavy wear, has been made possible by the new Spectra(R) thread, made of a super-tough material capable of lasting the life of the glove itself.

Pile is a popular, warm fleecy fabric of 70% Orlon, 15% cotton and 15% polyester.

Precurved design follows the contour of your hand.

Rubberized Cuff refers to double thickness material in safety and gauntlet cuffs. The outer layer is bonded to the inner layer with special rubber-based adhesive to create water resistance.

Semi-wing Thumb a construction that allows for natural thumb placement with no seam on palm.

Straight Thumbs are made of one piece of leather with no seam on the outer side of the glove.

Thermal is a long-wearing 100% cotton knit featuring heat-retaining air pockets.

Thermofill[tm] is a continuous filament, high-loft polyester fiber that traps heat and retains it in its bulk. It will not mat and retains its shape, loft and bulk even when wet.

Thumb Shield is an extra piece of leather sewn into the thumb seam at the point of greatest wear, which increases wear resistance.

Vellux(R) is a warm, soft 100% nylon flocking on polyurethane foam.

Visa(R) a stain-resistant, washable fabric made by Milliken.

Wing Thumbs feature no seams on the wearing surface, which allows free and comfortable movement of the wearer's thumb.
