Working outside in the heat can be difficult enough without having to worry about making sure you’re wearing the correct PPE. Though it’s tempting to go without wearing it, failure to comply could lead to fines and disciplinaries alongside the risk of injuries.

This means the gloves will still allow your hands to breathe in the hottest temperatures while ensuring you are compliant.

A Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is a type of personal protective equipment used to safeguard workers against contaminated air. PAPRs are a wearable motor driven respirator that actively filter the ambient air of a workplace and deliver it to the operative through a hood worn on the head.
