The Hatch Wheelchair Gloves – Mesh Back – Leather – Small are designed to provide comfort, protection and improved control for manual wheelchair users during everyday propulsion. Their fingerless design maintains tactile feedback and dexterity while helping protect the hands from friction, pressure and repetitive impact.
The palm is constructed from durable goatskin leather, offering a secure grip on wheelchair push rims while standing up to regular use. Reinforced foam padding helps absorb shock transferred through the hands and wrists during propulsion, making extended periods of wheelchair use more comfortable.
A breathable mesh back promotes airflow to help keep hands cooler, particularly during prolonged use or warmer conditions. The adjustable hook-and-loop wrist closure provides a secure fit while allowing natural wrist movement for comfortable propulsion.
Suitable for daily mobility, rehabilitation and community use, these gloves help reduce discomfort caused by repetitive pushing while improving confidence and control when manoeuvring a manual wheelchair. Their combination of grip, cushioning and ventilation makes them a practical upgrade over standard gloves that may lack the specialised features required for wheelchair users.
