Driver Gloves and PPE Maintenance

The best driving gloves combine strength, ergonomics and compliance with safety standards. They should be made from durable materials, such as quality leather or technical fabrics, which provide protection against abrasion and ensure thermal comfort. At RAG Tailors, we offer driving gloves with an ergonomic design and high durability, ideal for professionals who spend long hours behind the wheel or in industrial environments. Choosing certified gloves not only increases safety, but also improves professional performance in demanding situations.

The right choice of driving gloves depends on the type of activity performed, the level of risk, the skill requirements and the working environment. Professionals exposed to mechanical risks should opt for gloves with reinforced protection and grip, while those working in cold or humid environments benefit from waterproof or thermally insulated models. RAG Tailors always recommends consulting PPE standards and carrying out a risk assessment to ensure an effective and safe choice. Our team is available to help you select gloves according to the specificities of the sector in which you operate.

Genuine leather driving gloves stand out for their strength, durability and comfort. They are ideal for demanding work involving contact with abrasive surfaces or the risk of minor cuts. The leather adapts to the hand over time, offering great dexterity and high comfort during prolonged use. They are also breathable, helping to reduce perspiration. RAG Tailors offers models made from selected leather that guarantee high standards of safety and well-being, complying with the main European PPE standards. They are a reliable choice for those looking for long-lasting protection.

To prolong the life of driver gloves, it is essential to adopt good maintenance and storage practices. After use, they should be inspected for damage or wear. Cleaning should follow the manufacturer's instructions — generally, damp cleaning with a soft cloth or neutral products. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or direct heat sources that may deform the material. When deteriorated, gloves should be replaced. Proper maintenance of PPE reduces risks and ensures compliance with safety standards. At RAG Tailors we value the durability of our products and advise our customers on the ideal care for each model.

The main difference lies in the materials and thermal characteristics. Summer driving gloves are lighter, more breathable and allow for greater ventilation, ideal for high temperatures. Winter models, on the other hand, include thermal insulation and, often, waterproof materials to protect against cold and humidity. Some RAG Tailors models include an ergonomic design and fleece lining, maintaining mobility even in adverse weather conditions. Choosing the model according to the season contributes to both comfort and safety in daily work.

Drivers’ gloves that are Personal Protective Equipment must comply with the regulations set out in EN 388 (protection against mechanical risks) and, in some cases, EN 420 (general ergonomic and safety requirements). Other certificates, such as EN 511, may apply to gloves used in cold environments. These standards guarantee that the products have been tested and approved in terms of resistance, functionality and protection. RAG Tailors’ models strictly comply with these requirements, guaranteeing reliability and safety for the most demanding professionals.
