by Shane Henson — October 31, 2012—Workers searching for an alternative to cumbersome gloves that protect their hands but make it difficult to use smartphones and other devices with a touch screen may appreciate Ironclad Performance Wear Corporation’s (ICPW) new TouchScreen Performance Work Glove.
The glove enables the user to operate touch-screen devices without ever having to remove his or her gloves, and will be available for purchase in 2013, according to ICPW, a developer of task-specific performance work gloves.
The Ironclad TouchScreen glove, with exclusive TS1 technology, addresses the needs of people who are surrounded by touch-screen devices while doing a job requiring protective work gloves. The TS1 material is more than a special material that is sewn on to the fingertips of the gloves; it covers the entire palm side of the glove, says the company. Drawing connectivity from the entire palm of the hand ensures that the maximum amount of conductivity is available at the thumb and fingertips, and that the glove works in both clean and dirty conditions.
The glove is built on the chassis of Ironclad’s recently introduced Mechanic glove, which also provides superior protection, fit and dexterity, says Ironclad. The company’s other specialized task-specific gloves for numerous industries include ones for oil and gas exploration, automotive and construction, as well as police, fire, first-responder and military.
