The days are getting shorter and temperatures are dropping, so now is the time to make sure that you have the supplies needed to keep you toasty (and productive) during the upcoming frigid months. MCR Safety is one of the brands we carry at Blackhawk Industrial that will help you do just that. Their environmentally conscious, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility produces premium PPE products that ensure maximum safety, comfort and style.

In a previous Blog, we told you about gloves made for chilled working hands, today we’re highlighting the Flex Therm series. They’re a great option as they take the benefits of the Flex Tuff series up a notch with added thermal protection. This makes them great for multi-industrial applications including Cold Storage Applications, Commercial Grade Fishing, Frozen Food Packaging, Airport, Carpentry, Construction, Landscaping and Mechanics. The gloves are manufactured on seamless knit, flat-dipped liners that replicate the natural curve shape of a hand. This improves manual dexterity, enabling workers to experience less hand fatigue.
