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.
