The user requirements of a technical glove must be a balance of competing design parameters. The glove must not restrict the wearer's ability to perform a series of complex tasks, while also providing high levels of protection against multiple potential hazards, as well as maintaining wearer comfort in use.
​
Porelle® inserts have been developed with all of these in mind. By applying our membrane as a middle layer, beween the outer and inner glove components, porelle® inserts can offer added levels of protection without compromising hte glove's performance.
