Work (automotive / industrial)
Long glove shifts trap moisture under pressure, accelerating skin breakdown and fatigue over time.
Sealed gloves create a trapped micro-environment.
Humidity rises. Sweat can’t evaporate.
Constant moisture weakens the skin barrier.
Cotton, silk, bamboo and merino absorb moisture. Inside gloves, pressure keeps sweat trapped in the fibers, leaving the skin overhydrated and mechanically unstable.
A dual-layer structure pulls moisture off the skin and redistributes it outward so it can evaporate. No coatings. No chemical treatments.
Inside gloves, moisture + friction change the skin barrier.
Gloves trap heat and humidity. Moisture can’t evaporate.
Sweat stays against the skin, softening it over time.
Maceration: the barrier softens and breaks down faster under movement.
Softened skin rubs more against the glove. Friction damage builds during the day.
Moisture + heat + friction weaken the barrier — barrier stability decreases during long glove use.
This structure was tested where gloves are worn for hours at a time, under pressure, heat and repeated movement. Instead of relying on absorption, the focus was on controlling where moisture accumulates and when it is allowed to remain at the skin. Across settings, the outcome was consistent: a more stable skin barrier during extended use.
This mechanism was designed for environments where gloves are worn for hours — not minutes.
Long glove shifts trap moisture under pressure, accelerating skin breakdown and fatigue over time.
Heat, sweat and constant grip soften the skin, increasing friction damage during play.
Sealed gloves worn for hours prevent evaporation, leaving skin damp and slow to recover.
