Watersafe Waterproof & Thermal Work Gloves
Beat the elements and work with confidence using the premium Watersafe glove collection from Just 1 Source. Specially engineered for wet, cold, and unpredictable outdoor environments, the Watersafe range delivers uncompromising liquid protection without sacrificing comfort or dexterity. Featuring advanced dual-dipped coatings and high-performing thermal liners, these gloves are built to keep commercial workforces performing at their best—no matter how harsh the conditions.
Dual-Dipped Liquid Protection and Thermal Insulation for Demanding Trades
When working in cold stores, waste management, or exposed outdoor construction sites, moisture is your biggest enemy. Wet hands lose warmth rapidly, reducing grip control and increasing the risk of accidents. The Watersafe brand answers this challenge with advanced engineering designed to tackle both liquid penetration and thermal drop.
Our 7-product Watersafe range utilizes a sophisticated dual-coating system. A primary smooth dip seals the hand entirely from water and fluids, while a second sandy or crinkle-finished palm dip (available in heavy-duty Latex or chemical-resistant Nitrile) provides supreme, slip-free grip on wet tools and materials. Inside, specialized acrylic terry and thermal liners provide robust insulation to meet strict EN511 standards for contact cold.
From the high-dexterity Pred Atlantic for general handling to the maximum defense Pred Caspian (boasting a supreme Cut F rating), the Watersafe family ensures your hands stay dry, warm, and fully protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Watersafe gloves completely waterproof compared to standard coated gloves?
Standard coated work gloves often only have a palm dip, leaving the back of the hand exposed to rain and liquids. Watersafe gloves use a full dual-dipping process. The first layer completely covers the hand and wrist in a liquid-proof polymer barrier, while the second texture-enhanced layer is applied to the palm to guarantee high-traction grip in wet or oily conditions.
What do the EN511 ratings on Watersafe gloves mean?
EN511 is the European safety standard for gloves protecting against cold environments. It measures three key criteria: resistance to convective cold (chilly air), resistance to contact cold (touching freezing surfaces), and water permeability. Watersafe models like the Pred Arctic, Pred Yukon, and Pred Baltic carry certified EN511 scores, proving they block liquid transmission while actively trapping body heat.
Are there high cut-protection options available in the Watersafe range?
es, absolutely. Wet and cold environments still carry heavy mechanical risks. Within our Watersafe range, you can scale your protection right up to the highest standards. For example, the Pred Caspian (WS9) combines a waterproof nitrile coating with an elite Cut F blade resistance rating, making it perfect for engineering, glass handling, and heavy recycling work in wet conditions.
Which is better for a winter construction site: a Latex or a Nitrile Watersafe glove?
Both offer exceptional water protection, but the choice depends on your specific tasks. Latex-coated options (like the Pred Congo or Pred Yukon) offer incredible natural elasticity, comfort, and a phenomenal grip on raw building materials like bricks and timber. Nitrile-coated options (like the Pred Arctic or Pred Caspian) provide superior resistance to oils, grease, and chemicals, while generally offering higher resistance to sharp punctures and abrasions.
