ESKO RED-ROOSTER GLOVES (E350HC)When you're throwing around heavy timber sleepers, operating concrete blocks, or dragging high-tension wire, standard thin riggers wear through in days. The Esko Red-Rooster gloves are a legendary, heavy-duty trade alternative. Built from ultra-thick split cowhide with an unmissable red backing canvas, they feature a reinforced palm and absolute knuckle protection for intense manual handling shifts.Why we’d actually wear these: Reinforced Heavy Split Hide: Engineered with extra material thickness across high-friction areas to provide ultimate resistance to heavy grinding abrasion. Safety Rubberized Gauntlet Cuff: Long, rigid cuff defends your wrists from scraping and allows you to flick the gloves off instantly if they hook onto moving gear. Heavy Knuckle Protection Band: Wide leather shield running across the back of the hand protects you from brutal steel strikes and pinning injuries. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
