Glove Manufacturer adds Zorb-IT® HV to Hard-working Zorb-IT Family
Chicago, Illinois & Menlo, Georgia - October 15, 2007 - Best Glove Incorporated today unveiled the Zorb-IT® HV glove, the new hi-vis member of its Zorb-IT® family of general purpose gloves, at The National Safety Council's 95th Annual Congress and Expo in Chicago.
The fluorescent orange Zorb-IT HV glove combines high visibility with sure grip to provide the visibility construction and industrial workers need to remain safe. The glove's durable nylon shell is flat dipped in Best's sponge nitrile for unparalleled grease and oil absorption.
Engineered to deliver a sure grip in the most difficult oily, greasy conditions, Best Manufacturing's tough Zorb-IT® glove family beats the competition nearly two-to-one in oil/grease absorption and three-to-one in launderability.
With the introduction of Zorb-IT HV, there are now four members of the Zorb-IT glove family: Zorb-IT HV; the original hard-working Zorb-IT® 4550 glove with its durable nylon shell; the cut-resistant Zorb-IT Ultimate 4560 with a shell of cut-resistant Kevlar® fibers spun with stretchable, breathable Lycra®; and the Zorb-IT Extra 4575, which is three-quarter dipped to provide over the knuckle protection. All models feature Best's sponge nitrile and are available in sizes XS-XL.
