Description
Product Overview
KONG IMPACT GLOVES
The KONG SDX2 Original Impact Gloves are built using advanced materials and protective technologies to protect workers from impacts, abrasions, cuts, and punctures. The gloves feature patented KONG® thermoplastic rubber (TPR) impact protection that covers the fingers, knuckles, and metacarpal areas of the hand. This design helps absorb and disperse the energy from sudden impacts, reducing the risk of injuries when working with heavy equipment or tools.
The glove’s palm is constructed with double-layer synthetic leather enhanced with Teflon coating, which makes the palm up to 25% more abrasion-resistant compared with standard synthetic leather gloves. This durable palm construction significantly improves glove lifespan while maintaining flexibility and comfort for extended use.
To enhance grip, the palm surface also includes raised PVC grip dots, which provide excellent control when handling tools, pipes, cables, or equipment. These grip dots help ensure strong handling in dry, wet, or oily conditions, making the gloves suitable for various industrial applications.
KONG IMPACT GLOVES Advanced Impact Protection Technology
One of the key features that distinguish the KONG IMPACT GLOVES is their advanced impact protection system. The glove integrates patented protective ribs and padding that shield the most vulnerable areas of the hand.
Key impact protection capabilities include:
-
Metacarpal protection capable of absorbing up to 80% of impact energy
-
Knuckle protection that absorbs approximately 90% of impact force
-
Finger protection that absorbs about 76% of impact energy, protecting fingertips and sidewalls of the fingers
These protective elements help reduce the likelihood of serious injuries caused by falling tools, crushing hazards, or contact with heavy machinery.
The flexible thermoplastic rubber shields allow the gloves to maintain mobility while still offering strong protection, which is essential for workers who need both safety and dexterity.
KONG IMPACT GLOVES Materials and Construction
The gloves are manufactured with a combination of durable and lightweight materials that deliver long-lasting performance and comfort.
