On rough shop work, the softest glove is often the first one to wear through.

Loading drags leather across crates and pallets.

Parts handling rubs it against rough metal and hardware.

Brake components, wheel hardware, and pallets of filters all take the same toll on a palm.

Cowhide is the thickest and toughest of the three common work glove leathers. The other two are goatskin and deerskin, and both are softer.

For heavy loading, hauling, and parts handling, cowhide is the leather that lasts.

The trade is feel.

Cowhide is stiffer out of the box. After a few shifts, it takes the shape of the hand.

ClawSKINZ leather work gloves are cowhide, in the cut that fits the job. Top grain for more feel. Split for heavy general handling.

Cold weather? ClawSKINZ Top Grain Cowhide Fully Lined Work Gloves add a lining.

Ask your parts supplier about ClawSKINZ, or see the lineup at growlproducts.com.

Bulky thick glove liners kill dexterity.

A lightweight knit glove worn under a leather or coated glove adds insulation without the bulk. Under a disposable nitrile glove, it adds a layer of comfort against skin.

ClawFORCE Cotton Knit Work Gloves are built for exactly that job.

Ask your parts supplier about ClawFORCE.

Solvent hand cleaners cut through the grease but they dry out your hands. Fast.

GrizzlyGRIT skips the solvent — a water activated pumice and perlite scrub that lifts grease without damaging skin.

Lanolin and glycerin condition hands with every wash. Use half as much, clean twice as well.

Ask your parts supplier about GrizzlyGRIT.

A lot of shops still use a shared hand cleaner bucket.

That bucket ends up dirtier than the hands going into it.

GrizzlyGRIT now comes with a plastic pump top or a stainless wall mount dispenser, so nobody touches the product until it's already in their hands.

Ask your parts supplier about GrizzlyGRIT dispensers.

Most glove specs are evaluated on thickness, durability and grip, and Growl has all that. However, fentanyl tested is almost never brought up on industrial nitrile gloves, even though it should be in today's world.

Standard industrial gloves are not tested and approved against opioid exposure. However, tow operators, municipal fleet techs, and shop crews handling roadside cleanup and impound work face that exposure about as often as first responders do, without the same testing standard behind their gloves.

GrowlGRRRIP and GrowlTECH nitrile gloves close that gap. Both are lab-tested for fentanyl barrier protection — this makes it a unique industrial glove line with that testing behind it. Know what the glove on your hands is actually tested for.

Most industrial nitrile gloves stop germs, dirt and grease. They aren't tested to stop fentanyl residue. Trace amounts can transfer from steering wheels, door handles, and cargo surfaces on any vehicle that has carried unknown substances, long before a lab confirms what was inside.

GrowlGRRRIP and GrowlTECH nitrile gloves are lab-tested to ASTM D6978 for fentanyl resistance. GROWL industrial nitrile gloves are unique with lab-tested fentanyl barrier protection. If a crew works with towed or impounded vehicles, that exposure isn't just a first responder problem.

Tow operators, impound lot staff, and fleet techs handle the same vehicles, often with less training and less protective equipment than the crews called in after. Know the exposure. Match the glove to the hazard.
