ESKO THE RIGGER GLOVES (E280HC) There is a bloody good reason why classic leather rigger gloves are still an absolute staple on every civil, farming, and construction site across NZ, they simply take a thrashing. The Esko E280HC brings serious, premium-grain leather engineering to your hands, offering a tough, flexible protective skin that laughs off splinters, grit, and structural steel edges. Why we’d actually wear these: Top-Tier Select Grain Cowhide: Highly durable yet naturally flexible leather ensures your hands are shielded without feeling like rigid blocks of wood. Comfort Elastic Back: Snug, internal elastic gather keeps the glove fitted tightly to your wrist, preventing abrasive dirt, swarf, or woodchips from falling inside. High Tactile Feed: Maintains a natural grip sense, letting you handle anything from heavy sledgehammers to fiddly shackles smoothly. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
