Drivers Gloves
Driver's gloves are close-fitting leather gloves built for tasks that need feel as much as protection — gripping a wheel, handling small tools and fasteners, or general light-duty work where bulkier gloves get in the way. Unlike a rigger or gauntlet glove, they're cut slim through the palm and fingers so you keep tactile control, while still giving you a leather barrier against everyday scrapes and abrasion.
Choosing Between Our Drivers Glove Grades
All three gloves in this range share the same close-fitting leather construction and Cut 1 rating, so the choice between them comes down to leather grade and finish rather than protection level:
- Standard Drivers Glove — the entry point into the range, offering the same slim leather fit at a lower cost. A sensible default for teams issuing gloves at volume where budget matters more than finish.
- Gold Drivers Glove — a step up in leather quality, suited to users who want a longer-lasting glove without moving up to a heavier-duty style.
- Ivory Drivers Glove — the finest finish in the range, for users who want the best feel and appearance the driver glove style offers.
All three work equally well across agriculture, general handling, logistics, scaffolding, and warehousing tasks — the choice is about durability and finish, not suitability for a particular industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are driver's gloves used for?
Driver’s gloves are designed for tasks needing dexterity and tactile feel alongside light protection — driving, handling small parts and tools, and general light-duty work. They’re not built for heavy abrasion, impact, or cut-heavy tasks; for those, see our rigger gloves or construction gloves ranges instead.
What's the difference between the Standard, Gold, and Ivory Drivers Gloves?
All three share the same slim-fit leather construction and Cut 1 rating — the difference is leather grade and finish. Standard is the most affordable option for bulk issuing; Gold and Ivory step up in leather quality and finish for users who want a longer-lasting or better-finished glove.
Are driver's gloves cut-resistant?
All three gloves in this range carry a Cut 1 rating under EN 388 — enough for light general handling, but not intended for tasks involving sharp materials, glass, or metal sheeting. For higher cut protection, see our range filtered by Cut Level.
Can driver's gloves be used for general handling as well as driving?
Yes — despite the name, these are widely used across agriculture, general handling, logistics, scaffolding, and warehousing wherever a slim, dexterous leather glove suits the task better than a bulkier rigger or gauntlet style.
