The Problem

Roofing destroys hands. Shingle grit is sandpaper. Drip edge slices. Hot surfaces burn. Every bundle, every piece of flashing takes its toll.

Gloves are too hot and kill your grip on steep pitches. Going bare means ground-down hands that crack and bleed.

You need protection that works in extreme rooftop conditions.

How Guard-Tex Helps

Shingle Defense

Granules wear the tape, not your palms. Wrap before handling bundles.

Breathes in Heat

Cotton weave lets air through. Works on 150°+ rooftops where gloves fail.

Better Grip

Cotton surface grips better than sweaty skin. Essential on steep pitches.

Guard-Tex vs. Gloves

Leather is too hot. Rubber traps sweat. Nitrile tears on shingles. Guard-Tex breathes, protects, and improves grip—everything roofers need.

How to Wrap

1

Identify Wear Points

Wrap palms for shingle handling. Knuckles for flashing. Full hand for hot work.

2

Wrap 2-3 Layers

Two layers minimum. Three for torch-down and extreme heat.

3

Unwrap Clean

Unwrap clean. No adhesive on sun-damaged skin.

Pro Tips

  • Wrap palms before handling shingle bundles—the grit is brutal.
  • Tape grips better than bare hands on steep pitches.
  • Extra layer under gloves for torch-down work.
