KUNZ
GLOVE
Lineman's Work Gloves
Kunz work gloves have set the standard for durability and
comfort. Three specially tanned heavy weight (4 oz. plus)
grain leathers are used in the manufacture of Kunz work
glove.
For extra comfort, gloves are sewn in the gunn pattern
with strong nylon thread. Reinforced welted thumb seams and
Davey tips on the fingers give extra wear and prevent seams
from ripping in critical locations. A leather welt at the
base of the fingers gives extra protection for a heavy wear
area.
Slip-on style - A durable glove for almost any
application. The 2" split leather safety cuff has a
reinforcing wrist pad and offers limited arm protection.
Gauntlet style - The most popular style for
lineworkers. A reinforced thumb strap makes this design our
most durable. The 4.5" and 6.5" lined split leather cuff
offers different degrees of arm protection (split leather
gloves have fabric cuff). Elastic back adds comfort and
prevents slipping. For extra heavy duty applications, heavy
(5 to 5.5 oz.) buckskin leather is offered.
High-Voltage Leather Protectors
The Kunz Glove Company set a goal to develop a protector
that would increase hand mobility. One that would reduce
hand stress, discomfort and fatigue while maintaining the
required mechanical protection and fit for maximum life and
safety. The result is our "free-thumb" high-performance
protector.
Cowhide Protectors - Our most popular and most
durable. Specially tanned 2.75 oz. to 3.5 oz. weight grain
leather is uniform, soft and pliable. Flexible and
long-wearing qualities make these ideal for heavy wear. Our
bucktan and cream-colored cowhide provide a
traditional-feel, while the buffed-red cowhide is tanned to
be more flexible.
Buckskin Protectors - Made from elk or deerskin,
buckskin is often preferred for its more supple feel and
durability. Better for cold and/or wet weather conditions.
Although lighter in weight, these protectors offer many of
the same qualities which made our Kunz buckskin work gloves
famous.
Goatskin Protectors - Lightweight and flexible,
goatskin offers the best dexterity. This supple, cream or
pearl-colored leather returns to its original texture after
exposure to moisture.
