No better protection for your hands
Your hands are precision tools. Think about how many things you do with them every day without a second thought. A serious hand injury takes all of that away, at work and at home.
At Elliotts, our job is simple: protect your hands from harm. We do it by designing gloves that give the right protection for the hazard, and that people actually want to wear. A glove left in the ute protects no one.
Protecting hands since 1966
We've been designing and making gloves since 1966. That's 60 years of developing, testing and refining hand protection for Australian workers, from welders and foundry crews to mechanics, lab technicians and linesmen.
Our glove specialists work with distributors and end users to solve hand protection problems, whatever the application. If the right glove doesn't exist yet, we'll often help design it.
Getting the balance right
The oldest problem in hand protection is the trade-off between protection and dexterity. Thicker, tougher gloves usually mean less feel. Gloves with more feel usually mean less protection.
Our research and development is about closing that gap. We combine traditional, proven materials like leather, wool and cotton with the latest yarns, liners and coatings. The result is gloves that protect better against heat, molten metal, spatter, cold, cuts, impact and chemicals, while keeping the dexterity you need to do the job.
Choosing a glove has got more complicated, with more options than ever. The good news is that you've never been better protected.
The leader in certified hand protection
On 19 January 2011, Elliotts became the first company to have welding gloves certified to Australian standards. We've kept our welding gloves independently certified ever since.
In 2026 we moved our welding gloves to Intertek SAI Global. Every Elliotts welding glove is now certified by Intertek SAI Global to EN 12477, AS/NZS 2161.2:2020 and AS/NZS 2161.3:2020. As part of that certification, each glove is independently rated to EN 407:2020 and EN 388:2016. Elliotts was the first company to be independently certified by SAI Global to these welding glove standards, and every new Elliotts welding launches that way.
Certification means an independent body has checked the testing, the materials, the labelling and the factory, and keeps checking. Look for the Certified Product mark and licence number on the glove.
