PIP Work Gloves — Where It All Started

Hand protection remains PIP's most iconic product segment. Their hand protection catalog spans chemical-resistant, cut-resistant, disposable, fabric work, general-purpose coated and uncoated, hi-performance, leather driver, leather palm, metal mesh, and cold- and heat-protection gloves. Flagship sub-brands like G-Tek® and MaxiFlex® are widely recognized on job sites across North America. G-Tek® delivers mechanical protection combined with optimal dexterity, form, and fit in coated seamless knit gloves, featuring a versatile line of coatings that meet the demands of every job.
