Klein Tools Thermal Dipped Gloves

Two sizes: Large is Klein 60389 and Extra-Large is Klein 60390. Both are the same double dipped latex winter glove, so a crew standardizing on one style can order both sizes off the same spec.

No. Despite being catalogued for electrical crews, the cut and cold ratings on these are EN388-2016 2131X and EN511:2006 X1X only, which cover abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture plus cold contact. There is no electrical insulating or arc rating here, and they are not flameproof or fire retardant, so keep them away from open flame or sparks. For live electrical work you need rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors instead.

They are built for cold weather handling rather than sustained deep cold. Warmth comes from a 7 gram brushed acrylic terry lining and a double dip latex shell, and the EN511 cold rating is X1X, meaning a rating of 1 for contact cold with convective cold not tested. The spec sheet lists them as not insulated in the foam or thinsulate sense. Fine for winter material handling, loading, and outdoor site work; for static work in extreme cold, go to a purpose built insulated glove.

Yes, the shell and the palm overcoat are both latex, and the field data confirms the product contains latex. They are powder free, which reduces airborne protein transfer, but anyone with a latex sensitivity should be issued a nitrile or PU coated glove instead.

That is what the second dip is for. A textured latex coating over the palm and fingers gives the anti slip grip, and the latex shell makes the glove water resistant so hands stay dry handling wet stock. Note water resistant, not waterproof, and the knit cuff is not sealed, so prolonged submersion will wet through.

No. The gloves are not heat resistant and are not flameproof or fire retardant, so they must be kept away from open flame, sparks, and hot surfaces. Welding, torch cutting, and hot work all need a leather or aluminized glove. They also should not be worn where moving machinery could snag the glove.

Machine washable, so they can be laundered and put back into service rather than binned after a shift. That matters for MRO and facilities stock where gloves get issued, returned, and reissued across a season.

Overall length is 10 inches (25.4 cm), finished with a ribbed knit cuff that closes at the wrist to keep debris and cold air out. There is no gauntlet or safety cuff, so if you need forearm coverage for insulation blowing or debris handling, look to an extended cuff glove.

Coating thickness is 0.13 inch (0.33 cm), and the back of the hand uses a stretchable spandex panel so the glove flexes with the hand. The double dip keeps tear and abrasion resistance without going stiff, and the EN388 blade cut score of 1 tells you this is a dexterity glove, not a heavy cut protection glove. For work needing cut level protection, specify a higher rated glove.

There is no reinforced palm pad or padding on these. Protection is the double dip latex coating plus the terry acrylic lining. For jackhammer, demo, or repetitive impact work, specify an anti vibration or impact back glove instead.
