Portwest A120 PU Palm Glove – Pack of 12 Australia wide shipping

Australia's bulk glove specialists. The Portwest A120 PU Palm Glove is the glove tradies, assemblers, food handlers and warehouse teams reach for every single day — and it's Portwest's best-selling glove worldwide for a reason. It delivers the rare combination most work gloves can't: maximum dexterity and all-day breathability, backed by genuine abrasion and tear resistance.

A 13-gauge seamless knit liner with a smooth polyurethane (PU) palm dip puts a grippy, hard-wearing barrier exactly where you need it, while the open back lets your hands breathe so they stay cool and dry through long shifts. The result is a lightweight, form-fitting glove you can wear for hours without losing the feel for the tools, parts or produce in your hands.

This listing is a pack of 12 pairs — ideal for kitting out a crew, stocking a workshop, or trialling the glove before you scale to carton quantities. Each pair is individually packed with a retail tag, so it's just as easy to display on a shelf as it is to hand out on site.

Why the A120 is the everyday glove of choice

• Maximum dexterity & fingertip feel — the 13-gauge liner and palm-dipped design let you pick up small parts, handle tools and work with precision, without the bulk of a heavy glove.
• Superb abrasion & tear resistance — the smooth PU coating protects the palm and fingers where wear happens fastest, so the glove lasts longer on the job.
• Breathable, seamless liner — the open back keeps hands cool and comfortable, reducing sweat and fatigue across a full shift.
• Silicone-free — essential for manufacturing, paint and panel shops, electronics and glass handling, where silicone contamination ruins finishes and causes paint defects (fish-eyes).
• Food safe (CE foodsafe) — suitable for food handling and food-adjacent tasks.
• Palm dipped for ventilation — keeps the glove light while adding grip and durability exactly where it matters.
• Retail-ready — individually packed with a retail tag for easy merchandising.
• Certified & compliant — tested to Australian and European standards (see below).

Frequently asked questions

Is the Portwest A120 cut-resistant?

No. The A120 is rated cut level 1 (minimal) under EN 388 — it's designed for dexterity, abrasion and tear resistance, not cut protection. If you need cut resistance, see our cut-resistant gloves range.

Are these gloves food safe?

Yes. The A120 is CE foodsafe, making it suitable for food handling and food-adjacent tasks.

What does "silicone free" mean and why does it matter?

Silicone-free gloves contain no silicone that can transfer onto surfaces. This matters in paint and panel shops, electronics, manufacturing and glass handling, where even tiny amounts of silicone cause paint defects (fish-eyes) and contamination.

How many gloves are in this pack?

This listing is a pack of 12 pairs (24 gloves). Each pair is individually packed with a retail tag. For larger volumes, the A120 is available by the full carton of 480 pairs (A129) — contact us for bulk pricing.

What sizes are available?

XXS (5) through to 3XL (12), in Black and Grey.

Are these gloves good for summer or hot conditions?

Yes. The palm-dipped, open-back design is highly breathable, so your hands stay cooler than in a fully coated glove.

Do you offer bulk or trade pricing?

Absolutely — as Australia's bulk glove specialists, we supply trade and volume customers with carton and mixed-carton pricing. Contact us for a quote.
