PIP PIN68-101/S Protective Industrial Products Drivers Glove Small

The PIP PIN68-101/S is a top grain cowhide driver's glove, straight thumb, quality grade, cowhide leather, small.

Top grain is the specification and it is the distinction that separates leather gloves worth buying from leather gloves that feel like cardboard.

A hide has layers. The grain is the outer surface — the natural, tight fibre structure the animal grew, complete with its own water resistance and its own strength. Split leather comes from underneath, where the fibres are loose and open. Split is cheaper, it is fuzzy, it absorbs everything, and it stiffens as it dries.

Top grain gloves stay supple, resist abrasion better for their thickness, and shed water rather than drinking it. That is why a top grain driver's glove is thin enough to feel the work and still lasts.

The straight thumb is the other specification worth knowing. Driver's gloves come with straight or keystone thumbs: a straight thumb is set in line with the hand, which is simpler and gives a flatter glove; a keystone thumb is set at an angle to follow the hand's natural position, which costs more and is more comfortable for gripping. Straight is the general-purpose pattern.

Small is a size worth stocking rather than skipping — an oversized glove catches in machinery.

Applications include material handling, driving, and general work.
