Why Snow & Ice Pros Choose the FrogWear 8490

Salt work ruins gloves. Leather soaks through and freezes. Knit gloves wick brine straight to your skin. Cheap PVC stays dry but goes stiff as plywood the first night it drops into the teens, and the liner comes out in your hand the second time you peel them off. The FrogWear® 8490 from Global Glove is built to fix all three problems at once, which is why it has become the go-to winter glove for plow operators, DPW crews and anyone loading a salt spreader at 4 a.m.

The shell is triple-dipped PVC: three separate coats of a cold-weather PVC formula over a seamless liner, so there are no stitched seams for water to find and the glove stays flexible to -5°F. The outer coat is finished with a sandpaper grip that holds a wet shovel handle, a frozen tow chain or a 50-lb bag of salt without the death grip that wears out your forearms. It is rated EN 388 4221X — a level-4 abrasion score, the highest on the scale — so pallet edges and fiberglass stake bundles don't chew through it.

Inside, a dual liner of seamless 13-gauge cotton and 7-gauge brushed acrylic terry traps warmth against your hand and wicks sweat. The liner is treated with an antimicrobial finish to cut down on odor and the bacteria that cause dermatitis, and because it's dipped as one piece with the shell it moves with your hand instead of bunching. The 12-inch gauntlet cuff pulls on over your jacket sleeve, keeps slush out of your wrist, and is color-coded on the hem so the crew can grab the right size off the shelf. Rated EN 511 121 for cold and EN ISO 374-1 Type A for chemical protection.

How to Get the Most Out of a PVC Winter Glove

1Cuff over the sleevePull the 12" gauntlet up over your jacket cuff, not under it. Slush runs off the sleeve and over the glove instead of into it.
2Rinse the salt offHose the shell down at the end of a salt run. Dried brine is abrasive and dulls the sandpaper grip over time.
3Dry them open, cuff upStand them cuff-up in the cab or shop overnight so the terry liner airs out. Keep them off the heater vent — high heat ages PVC.
4Match the hem to the handDark blue hem is Large, yellow is X-Large. Keep a pair of each on the truck and nobody fights over gloves at 4 a.m.

PVC Winter Glove FAQ

Are these gloves really waterproof?
Yes. The shell is three full dips of PVC over a seamless liner, so there is no stitching for water to wick through. It passed the EN 511 water-penetration test (the "1" in its 121 rating), which means no water reached the liner after 30 minutes of immersion. You can plunge them into a brine tank up to the cuff and your hands stay dry.
How cold can I use them?
The PVC is formulated to stay flexible down to -5°F, and the glove carries an EN 511 cold rating of 121 (contact cold level 2). For most plow, salt and stake work that means comfortable all night. On sub-zero wind-chill nights, or if you have to hold cold steel for long stretches, add a thin knit liner glove underneath and size up to X-Large.
Will the liner pull out when I take them off?
No. Unlike slip-in liners, the 8490's cotton and terry liner is the core the PVC is dipped onto, so it is part of the glove. Peel them off wet a hundred times and the liner stays put.
Can I handle rock salt, brine and liquid calcium chloride in them?
That's exactly what they're for. The PVC is formulated for chemical residues, oils and greasy materials and carries an EN ISO 374-1 Type A rating (AJKLMPT), which covers caustics, acids, solvents and more. Salt, brine, calcium chloride, ice melt, hydraulic fluid, diesel and shop degreaser are all everyday use. For a specific industrial chemical, check Global Glove's 8490 datasheet or call us.
How do they fit? Should I size up?
Measure around your dominant hand at the knuckles. 9–9.5" is Large, 10–10.5" is X-Large. The brushed terry liner takes up a little room, so order your usual work-glove size; go up one only if you plan to wear a liner glove underneath. The gauntlet is cut wide enough to go over a parka sleeve in either size.
What do the EN 388 4221X and EN 511 121 numbers mean?
EN 388 is the European mechanical test: abrasion 4 (the top score), blade cut 2, tear 2, puncture 1, and X means the ISO cut test wasn't run. EN 511 is the cold test: convective cold 1, contact cold 2, and a pass on water penetration. In plain terms, the shell wears like iron, you can grab frozen steel without the sting, and water doesn't get in.
How do I clean them?
Rinse the outside with a hose or in a bucket of warm water with a little dish soap, then stand them cuff-up to dry. Don't put them in a dryer or on a heater — heat stiffens PVC. The antimicrobial liner treatment keeps odor down between washes.
Is the price per pair or per dozen?
Per pair — $14.97 gets you one pair in the size you pick. Add as many as you need to the cart. For a full case (72 pairs) or sizes we don't stock online, call (866) 938-0922 and we'll quote it.
How is shipping handled?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address and what's in your cart — add the gloves to your cart to see the rate before you pay. Ordering snow stakes, a salt spreader or a winter parka at the same time? Put it all in one order.
Dry hands. Warm hands. Hands that still work at 4 a.m. Choose your size above and add the FrogWear® 8490 Triple-Dipped PVC Winter Gloves to your cart — the glove that outlasts the salt season.
