ESKO THE RIGGER GLOVES THERMAL LINED (E290)Handling freezing steel, cold timber, or wet rigging lines at 6:30 AM can numb your hands completely, stalling your speed and grip safety. The Esko E290 Thermal Lined Riggers solve this dead. Crafted from premium, soft-grain leather, they hide a heavy, plush internal lining that traps body heat while giving you full mechanical hand defense for freezing winter site conditions.Why we’d actually wear these: Heavy-Duty Thermal Lining: Internal insulation locks out intense morning frost and cold metal conduction, keeping your fingers nimble and moving. Premium Grade Cowhide: Offers massive abrasion and puncture protection against splintered wood, sharp rebar, and abrasive cable strands. Double Stitch Reinforcement: Sewn extra tough in high-stress zones like the thumb seam and palm line to prevent blowouts under load. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
