The Predator range from Ron has become one of the most specified work glove lines across UK engineering, construction, and industrial sectors. The reason is simple: consistent quality, meaningful EN certifications, and a model for almost every hazard type — all available through Just 1 Source.
This guide covers the full Predator range: what each model protects against, the relevant standards, and how to choose the right Pred glove for your workforce.
Why Predator?
Predator gloves are designed as working tools, not PPE box-tickers. The range has been built around real industrial hazards — needle stick, cut resistance, welding, rigger work, chemical exposure — and each model is independently tested to the relevant EN standard.
For procurement teams, the range offers a meaningful advantage: a single supplier relationship covering the majority of hand protection needs across a multi-hazard site, with consistent sizing and fit across models.
Pred Needle — Needle Stick Protection
The Pred Needle is the specialist in the range, designed for environments where hypodermic needle stick is a genuine risk: waste handling, recycling, healthcare support roles, and grounds maintenance.
It offers needle stick resistance compliance in ASTM F2878-2019-Level 5 & EN388:2018+A1:2018 – 3X44F. The construction uses a cut-resistant liner beneath a durable outer coating, providing both cut protection and the specific penetration resistance needed for sharps environments.
Key applications: waste management, grounds maintenance, recycling facilities, custodial roles.
Pred Sigma — High Cut Resistance
The Pred Sigma is built for tasks where cut risk is the primary hazard — sheet metal handling, glass, automotive pressings, and similar. It uses a high-performance cut-resistant yarn to achieve a strong EN 388 cut rating while maintaining the dexterity needed for detailed work.
The Sigma is a popular choice for engineering and manufacturing environments where operators need reliable cut protection without sacrificing feel.
Pred Congo — General Purpose Engineering
One of the most widely used Pred models, the Congo is a robust general-purpose glove designed for engineering, construction, and warehousing. It combines good mechanical protection across abrasion, tear, and puncture with a comfortable fit for all-day wear.
Key applications: general engineering, assembly, warehousing, construction site work.
Pred Jet — Dexterity and Grip
Where precision matters more than heavy-duty protection, the Pred Jet delivers. It is a lighter glove engineered for good dexterity and grip, particularly in wet or oily conditions. Popular with mechanics, assembly workers, and anyone handling small components.
Pred Graphite — Cut and Abrasion
The Graphite is positioned for heavier mechanical hazards — construction, heavy engineering, demolition support. It offers strong abrasion and cut resistance in a glove built to take sustained punishment.
Pred Boron — Impact Protection
For environments where impact is a hazard alongside cut — scaffolding, steelwork, mechanical assembly with moving parts — the Pred Boron adds TPR impact protection across the back of the hand. Compliant with EN 388 with impact testing.
Pred Sapphire — Wet and Dry Grip
The Sapphire is designed for wet-condition handling: food production, wet processing, fish and meat handling, and similar environments where grip in wet conditions is critical. A nitrile coating provides excellent wet grip and a degree of liquid resistance.
Ordering Predator Gloves in Bulk
All Predator models are available through Just 1 Source in bulk quantities, with pricing tiers for larger orders. The range is stocked in full size runs and available for same-week despatch on most models.
If you are looking to standardise your site on a specific Pred model, we can arrange sample packs so your team can trial the fit and performance before committing to a volume order. Contact us or visit our B2B portal to set up an account and access trade pricing.
