Better and more comfortable hand protection is now available in New Zealand, with 110-year-old global US glove manufacturer Wells Lamont now in leading hardware retailer Bunnings Warehouse.
Founded in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1914 by Wilson Orson Wells and Maurice Lamont, Wells Lamont Corporation has been at the forefront of glove innovation ever since.
In-house experts throughout each design process, research and develop gloves that are both comfortable and adequately protect hands from impacts, cuts and abrasions.
Testament to their pioneering culture and dedication to their craft for their customers, Wells Lamont introduced water-resistant HydraHyde technology in 2015.
HydraHyde is a specially-tanned leather that is both breathable and water-resistant, keeping hands dry and protected, and the leather flexible even after repeated exposure to moisture.
