Dromex Leather Overgloves

The Dromex Leather Overgloves are purpose-designed protective overgloves developed to be worn over Dromex® Thor Electrical Insulating Gloves, providing an additional layer of protection against mechanical and environmental hazards commonly encountered in South African electrical, utility, mining, engineering, construction, energy, and maintenance industries. These overgloves play a critical role in extending the lifespan of electrical insulating gloves while helping to maintain the integrity and safety performance required when working on or near live electrical systems.

Manufactured from high-quality leather, the Dromex Leather Overgloves are designed to protect electrical insulating gloves from workplace hazards such as cuts, abrasions, tears, punctures, and flame exposure. By shielding the underlying insulating glove from physical damage, these overgloves help preserve the dielectric properties of electrical gloves, reducing the risk of premature wear and supporting compliance with workplace electrical safety standards. This makes them an essential component of personal protective equipment for electricians, utility workers, electrical contractors, maintenance technicians, and personnel involved in power distribution and industrial electrical operations.

The glove features an adjustable Velcro strap that provides a secure and customised fit, helping to keep the overglove firmly in position during demanding work activities. This adjustable closure enhances comfort while ensuring that the protective glove system remains stable and effective throughout the workday. The secure fit also allows workers to maintain better control when handling tools, cables, switchgear, transformers, and other electrical equipment.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Dromex Leather Overgloves offer excellent freedom of movement and hand dexterity, allowing workers to perform complex electrical tasks without unnecessary restriction. The supple leather construction supports comfortable hand movement while providing robust protection against mechanical damage. This balance between protection and flexibility makes the overglove suitable for both routine maintenance work and specialised electrical operations.

The overgloves are also water repellent, helping to reduce moisture absorption in wet or humid working conditions. This feature is particularly valuable in South Africa’s diverse environmental conditions, where outdoor electrical work may be conducted in varying weather conditions. The water-repellent properties help maintain glove performance and durability while contributing to worker comfort during use.

A distinctive feature of the Dromex Leather Overglove is its durable 13 cm chrome leather cuff, which provides additional protection for the wrist and lower forearm area. The extended cuff design helps protect against abrasions, sparks, and incidental contact with workplace hazards while also providing a secure overlap with protective clothing and insulating gloves. This added coverage contributes to enhanced overall safety during electrical maintenance and installation tasks.

The glove also offers high resistance to flammability, making it suitable for environments where workers may be exposed to sparks, flash hazards, or elevated heat conditions. The flame-resistant properties provide an additional level of protection, helping to reduce the risk of glove ignition and supporting safer work practices in electrical and industrial environments.

Ideal for use in power generation facilities, electrical substations, mining operations, municipal utility services, renewable energy projects, industrial plants, and infrastructure maintenance, the Dromex Leather Overgloves are an essential protective accessory for safeguarding valuable electrical insulating gloves and enhancing worker safety.

Combining protection against cuts, abrasions, tears, punctures, and flame exposure, with an adjustable Velcro strap, water-repellent flexibility, a 13 cm chrome leather cuff, and high flammability resistance, the Dromex Leather Overgloves provide dependable mechanical and environmental protection for electrical glove systems. They are an ideal choice for South African organisations seeking to maximise electrical safety, extend glove lifespan, maintain regulatory compliance, and protect workers operating in high-risk electrical environments.
