HyFlex AEROFIT Gloves

Redefining comfort and protection for your workforce

Ansell

In today's evolving industrial landscape, Health and Safety Managers face a constant challenge: ensuring workers stay protected without compromising comfort or productivity. With tasks becoming more precise and shifts growing longer, traditional gloves often fall short, causing hand fatigue, reduced dexterity, and compliance issues. This is where Ansell's AEROFIT range establishes a new benchmark.


Advanced Engineering for All-day Wear

AEROFIT gloves are the result of extensive material innovation and ergonomic design. Built with ultra-light construction and advanced foam nitrile technology, they offer exceptional flexibility while maintaining reliable mechanical protection. Enhanced breathability supports prolonged wear, helping reduce heat build-up and hand perspiration; key factors in maintaining worker focus and performance throughout the shift.

  • Up to 40% more flexibility
  • Up to 20% lighter glove construction
  • Exceptional breathability and tactility
