SIZE INFO
Proper size is important. Follow the guidelines below to determine your correct glove size. To determine glove size, with fingers extended measure circumference of the hand across the knuckles at the base of your fingers (don't include the thumb).
When ordering it is best to order smaller than your normal glove size.
| Glove Size | Hand Size | Hand Circumference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inches | Centimeters | ||
| S | 7 | 7 - 8 | 18 - 20 |
| M | 8 | 8 - 9 | 20 - 23 |
| L | 9 | 9 - 10 | 23 - 25 |
| XL | 10 | 10 - 11 | 25 - 28 |
MATERIAL INFO
Abrasion Protection
- Gloves are available without leather for use in delicate operations or inside work glove or with leather cover for better abrasion protection.
- Suede leather ensures best grip.
- Grain leather is smooth and provides longer wear.
- Pearl leather is soft and ensures better dexterity.
VEP Padding
VEPs are solids that mimic the behavior of liquids, which allows dissipation of shock waves better than any other material. The ,solid-liquid, nature of VEP absorbs shock waves in all directions at once, reforming to its original shape at a rate that is slow enough so as not to exert outward pressure that could cause reverberations, but fast enough to regain its original shape before the next shock.
- In laboratory tests, VEP has proven its ability to absorb up to 500% more shock than foam of the same thickness
- The unique manner in which VEP dissipates impact energy, makes it an ideal material for the improvement of health and safety in industry and commerce
- VEP padding is positioned in or in combinations of multiple places on the hand: palm, back of hand, fingers, thumb web area
- VEP is also used for body protectors and cushions to dampen impact and vibration
- Typical thickness of gloves are 1/8, (3 mm) to provide excellent shock absorption and impact dissipation while allowing tactile feedback
- Also available in 3/16, (4.5 mm) and 1/4" (6 mm) thickness for specialty applications
More Info
Half Finger Anti-Impact Glove for Dexterous Hand Protection
The IMPACTO Trigger Half finger Anti-Impact Glove - With Wrist Support - Pair is a glove designed for assembly, maintenance, and material handling work that needs dexterity and impact cushioning. Maintenance technicians, equipment operators, and warehouse workers typically use this anti-Impact Glove to keep tactile control while managing repeated hand contact. This is EN 420 and EN 388 certified equipment and features VEP padding for shock dissipation.
Industry Applications and Professional Use
Construction Work Environments
Construction workers and site supervisors typically use half finger gloves when they need finger movement for fastening, sorting, or measuring tasks. The open finger style supports tactile feedback while the soft pearl leather palm side adds grip during routine handling. Workers often choose this design for jobs that combine hand protection with frequent tool handling.
Manufacturing Work Environments
Manufacturing teams commonly wear trigger gloves during repetitive production, line support, and equipment adjustment tasks. The breathable and stretchy nylon Lycra back helps support long shifts, while the VEP padding helps manage impact and shock dissipation in contact-heavy work. This balance supports productivity in busy shop-floor settings.
Warehousing Work Environments
Warehouse workers rely on this glove for box handling, sorting, pallet work, and other repeated task cycles. The half finger design helps preserve dexterity, and the padded elastic wrist support adds stability during lifts and reaches. All Safety customers often look for this combination when hand movement and comfort both matter.
Utilities Work Environments
Utilities crews often use anti-impact gloves for inspection, adjustment, and general field tasks where hand contact happens often. The hook and loop closure lets workers tune the fit, and the wrist support can help reduce strain during extended use. This makes the glove well suited to active service work.
Transportation Work Environments
Transportation workers commonly choose this glove for loading, unloading, and mechanical support tasks. The soft pearl leather palm side helps support tactile control, while the VEP padding adds a cushioning layer for repeated handling. It suits roles that move between vehicles, docks, and service areas.
Technical Specifications and Product Features
Understanding Product Standards
For gloves in hand-intensive work, construction details influence comfort, dexterity, and day-to-day usability. EN 420 and EN 388 help define general glove requirements and mechanical risk performance, while the materials support a practical balance of flexibility and durability. These features help workers choose gloves that match the task, not just the label.
| Specification | What It Means | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|

| Half finger design | Open finger style with fingertip tabs | Improves dexterity and makes removal easier |
Use Case Scenarios and Applications
Assembly and Maintenance Tasks
Workers often use this glove for assembly work that requires tactile feedback and partial finger coverage. The open finger style helps with small parts, while the soft pearl leather palm side supports control during precise movement. This setup suits tasks that demand both speed and hand protection.
Material Handling Work
Material handlers commonly need palm cushioning and wrist support during repetitive lifting, carrying, and sorting. The VEP padding helps absorb impact in contact zones, and the padded elastic wrist support adds structure during active shifts. This combination supports comfort during repeated cycles.
Mechanical Repair Activities
Mechanics often choose trigger gloves when they need dexterity around tools, fittings, and components. The breathable nylon Lycra back supports airflow, and the hook and loop closure helps secure the fit. Workers can keep better control while managing vibration and repeated contact.
General Industrial Work
General industrial teams commonly use this anti-impact glove for daily-use or occasional-use tasks that involve frequent hand contact. The design supports repetitive strain management through wrist support and impact absorption. It works well where workers need practical hand protection without losing feel.
Ideal Applications and Work Environments
Where This Glove Category Excels
- Assembly lines: The half finger design helps workers maintain tactile feedback during small-part handling.
- Maintenance bays: VEP padding and wrist support suit repeated tool use and contact-heavy tasks.
- Warehouses: The breathable back and palm cushioning support frequent loading and sorting.
- Field service work: The adjustable hook and loop closure helps users fine-tune the fit during active movement.
Not Recommended For
- High-cut hazard tasks: This glove focuses on dexterity and impact damping, so users may need a different cut-resistant glove for severe blade exposure.
- Heavy wet-duty work: The leather-and-Lycra build suits dry industrial tasks better than saturated environments, so a waterproof glove may fit better.

Selection Guide and Product Suitability
When to Choose This Product
Choose this glove when you need a half finger design for dexterity during assembly or inspection work. It also performs well for material handling tasks that benefit from palm cushioning and wrist support. Workers often select it for repetitive task cycles where shock dissipation and control both matter.
Key Evaluation Factors
- Check the fit across the knuckles before use.
- Review the level of tactile feedback needed for the task.
- Confirm the job calls for impact absorption rather than heavy cut resistance.
- Consider how often the worker repeats the motion during a shift.
Limitations and Alternative Considerations
This glove is not suitable for tasks that require full finger coverage or strong cut protection. For those jobs, a full-finger cut-resistant glove may fit better. It may also be less appropriate for saturated or harsh wet environments where a specialty glove works better. Available from All Safety with standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to suit project timelines.
Daily Use and Maintenance
Workplace Integration
Workers generally wear the glove as a pair during hand-intensive tasks that need dexterity and impact cushioning. Adjust the wrist closure per manufacturer instructions before work begins. In industrial and maintenance settings, users often keep the glove close during repeated task cycles.
Care and Replacement Guidelines
Inspect the leather, padding, and closure regularly following manufacturer guidelines. Clean the glove per specifications and avoid methods that can degrade the leather or padding. Replace it when stitching, padding, or closures show significant wear, and store it in a clean, dry location away from excess heat and moisture.
