Polar Bear C.I.A. Insulated Work Gloves – Built for Cold, Cuts and Impacts

Winter job sites don't forgive thin gloves. The Polar Bear C.I.A. insulated work glove is engineered for crews who handle sharp, heavy and wet material when the temperature drops: snow removal and ice management, demolition, steel and lumber handling, cold storage, refrigerated warehousing, commercial fishing, recycling, and outdoor maintenance. C.I.A. stands for Cut, Impact and Abrasion – the three hazards this glove is rated to stop – and it does it while keeping your hands warm and dry.

ANSI A5 Cut Protection

The outer shell is a 13-gauge seamless knit of Tuffalene® UHMWPE, an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber that delivers ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A5 (2,264 grams on the ASTM F2992-15 test). That's the protection class recommended for handling sheet metal, glass, blades and cut-edge material. The same shell scores Puncture Level 5 and Abrasion Level 3, so it holds up to rough, repeated handling.

Impact-Rated Knuckle and Finger Guards

Soft, flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) armor is bonded over the knuckles, metacarpals and fingers. It's tested to ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 and rated Level 3 on the knuckles and Level 2 on the fingers and thumb – serious back-of-hand protection against pinch points, dropped tools and swinging equipment, without the stiffness of hard-shell gloves.

Water-Repellent Shell, Insulated Liner

The hi-vis orange shell is treated to shed water, slush and melting snow, so moisture stays off the insulation. Inside, a 10-gauge brushed acrylic terry-cloth liner traps warmth against the skin with a seamless, no-chafe feel. The result is a glove rated EN 511 X2X for cold contact that you can actually wear for a full shift.

Foam Rubber Grip That Doesn't Freeze Stiff

A black foam rubber coating covers the palm and fingers for a confident grip on wet, icy or dry surfaces. Unlike many winter gloves, the compound stays pliable in sub-freezing temperatures, so you keep dexterity for shovel handles, snow stakes, driveway markers, tools and controls.
