A SAMPLE-BASED APPROACH TO GLOVE TESTING AND EVALUATION
When you need to know whether a glove is right for the task, the most reliable way to find out is to test it in the real working environment.
At Traffi, we take a sample-based approach to glove selection, providing glove samples and PPE product samples free of charge so you can evaluate comfort, grip, durability, and protection before making a wider decision.
This is particularly important where:
Tasks vary across teams or environments
Comfort and usability affect whether gloves are worn properly
Durability and grip impact day-to-day performance
Testing gloves in real use gives you a clearer view of what will work, before you make a wider decision across a site, customer, or application.
VALIDATE YOUR GLOVE SELECTION THROUGH SAMPLING
There is no cost to requesting glove samples from Traffi.
That matters because it removes the barrier to testing different options properly. Instead of committing to a product and hoping it performs, you can trial multiple gloves side by side and see what works best in the task.
In practice, that often means comparing how different gloves handle grip, wear, and usability across the same environment.
It also gives you a way to involve the people actually using the gloves. Feedback from real use quickly highlights which options are accepted and which are not.
By using glove samples and PPE product samples in this way, decisions are based on evidence rather than assumption, which leads to more confident selection and fewer changes later.
FROM TRIAL TO ROLLOUT: HOW SAMPLING SUPPORTS REAL DECISIONS
Requesting samples is not a one-off step. It is part of how gloves are properly evaluated.
In practice, it works as a short progression:
- You start by identifying the task and the risks involved.
- You then trial suitable gloves in that environment.
- From there, you select the option that performs consistently, roll it out more widely and gather feedback from wearers.
This sample-based approach is how glove selection moves from initial testing to a confident rollout. It also supports more consistent use across teams, because the glove has already been tested in the conditions it will be used in.
TRUSTED BY THOSE WHO RELY ON THE RIGHT PROTECTION
Our customers see measurable improvements in safety, compliance, and cost in use. From reducing hand injuries to extending glove life, Traffi supports teams long after rollout with trials, training, and ongoing performance support.
SUPPORTING DISTRIBUTORS IN CUSTOMER TRIALS
If you are working with customers, a sample-based approach gives you something more practical than a product conversation.
Instead of explaining features, you can put the glove into the customer’s environment and let it be tested against the task.
This is often what moves a decision forward. It allows you to demonstrate performance, support comparisons, and build confidence before any wider rollout takes place. It also gives your customer a clearer reason to change or standardise, based on what they have seen in use.
Used in this way, glove samples and PPE product samples become a tool for supporting adoption, not just introducing products.
USING SAMPLES TO SUPPORT SAFETY DECISIONS
When glove selection sits within a wider safety responsibility, a sample-based approach ensures testing is part of the decision, not an extra step.
Instead of relying on specification alone, trials allow you to see how gloves behave in the task, how they are worn across teams, and whether they actually deliver the level of protection expected.
In practice, sampling helps you:
- Validate suitability against real risks
- Understand how gloves are used day to day
- Identify issues before wider rollout
- Improve consistency across teams
This is what turns glove selection into a more reliable, safety-led process.
REQUEST YOUR GLOVE SAMPLES
If you need to be confident in your glove selection, the next step is to test it.
Glove samples and PPE product samples give you a direct way to assess performance in your own environment, whether you are comparing options, supporting a customer trial, or preparing for a wider rollout.
There is no cost to request samples, and no need to commit before you have seen how the glove performs in practice. Start your request today and move forward with a clearer decision.

Yes. Traffi provides glove samples and PPE product samples free of charge to support product trials and evaluations. The aim is to help you test gloves properly before making a wider decision, whether that is for a customer, a site, or a specific application.
The number of samples you can request will depend on what you are trying to evaluate. In most cases, you can request multiple gloves to compare different options side by side. Providing clear information about your task or application helps ensure the most relevant samples are supplied.
Yes. If you are comparing different options, you can request more than one glove type as part of the same enquiry. This is often the most effective way to run a trial, as it allows you to assess performance across different gloves in the same working conditions.
Delivery times can vary depending on the request and availability, but sample requests are handled as quickly as possible. Providing clear details about your requirements helps ensure the process runs smoothly over 1-2 working days within the UK.
To get the most useful samples, it helps to share a small amount of context about how the gloves will be used. This might include the task, the working environment, or the type of protection required. If you already have specific products in mind, including these will help refine the request further.
Yes. If you are supporting a customer, glove samples and PPE product samples can be used to run trials in their environment. This allows them to test performance directly and make more informed decisions before committing to a wider rollout.
No. If you are still comparing options, you can provide information about your task or application instead. This helps ensure the samples you receive are relevant, even if you have not selected specific products yet.
Once you receive the samples, you can test them in real working conditions and gather feedback from users. This helps you identify which gloves perform best for the task and supports a more confident decision before moving to purchase or rollout.
Yes. Sampling is often used as part of a wider evaluation process, particularly where glove selection impacts safety and compliance. Testing gloves in the real environment helps confirm suitability and supports more informed safety decisions.
Once you have identified the right glove, you can move forward through the appropriate purchasing route, typically via a distributor. If needed, you can use the site to find a distributor or access further product information before placing an order.
