Showa 381 - General Purpose Gloves

Showa 381 General Purpose Gloves

Precision, comfort and performance come together in the Showa 381 glove. Whether you’re working in light assembly, handling parts, or moving through mildly oily environments, the 381 delivers excellent tactility and grip with a breathable, lightweight build.

Grip That Adapts

With an embossed microporous nitrile foam palm, the 381 channels oils and moisture away from surfaces to help maintain a secure grip even in slightly slippery or oily conditions. It’s ideal for tasks that demand both dexterity and control.

Featherlight Comfort

Weighing just ~19 g per glove and made with a seamless 13-gauge microfibre liner, the 381 feels nearly weightless. The liner is seamless, low-lint and designed for breathability — keeping hands cool, dry, and comfortable during long wear.

Durable & Sensitive

Despite its slim profile (~0.84 mm fingertip thickness), the 381 is engineered for strength: it earns **Level 4 abrasion resistance (EN 388)** and holds up well in demanding conditions. The ergonomic fit and flexible build ensure your hands remain nimble.
