These waterproof sleeves with latex cuffs are an ideal accessory for anyone working in a wet environment, whether operating water-fed machines or wet polishing by hand.
The sleeves have an elasticated latex cuff which provides a tight fit around the wrist to prevent water from being sprayed up the sleeve of the wearer. There is no adjustment necessary, unlike some of the fiddly adjustable cuff styles also available. This guarantees dry sleeves and arms! They offer protection when hands are lifted and moved.
The sleeves are a comfortable fit and do not restrict hand or arm movement. The two pairs connect to each other across the back of the shoulders, so the user still has full freedom of movement. The sleeve body is made from a durable polyurethane that is designed to last. The cuffs themselves are latex and are available in three different wrist diameter sizes: 15cm, 17cm and 19cm to provide the correct fit for your team.
These are ideal for use with all wet tools, Gison pneumatic polishers and grinders. They can make working life much more comfortable.
