The design and testing period which ran over the last 12 months saw the new Venta-Cool rigger gloves sent to some of the hottest climates in the world including South Africa and Israel for their most gruelling punishment.
Dirty Rigger's product manager Steve Marshall says: "The results from the Venta-Cool testing has been really positive. The 'sweaty hand effect' is a more common term than anyone here at Dirty Rigger had ever realised and clearly a market with huge potential."
The design team settled on a micro-perforated base material built into the palm and glove-back which allows heat to pass through and sweat to evaporate into the air and away from the glove's core. This heat transfer process allows for a minimal internal temperature, helping keep your hands cool. Key wear areas are then layered with Dirty Rigger's specially selected synthetic leather, offering an outstanding combination of breathability and durability.
