The KONG SD combines the impact protection features of the award-winning KONG Original with patented cross-over technologies from other Ironclad glove models, such as the Box Handler® and Gripworx® gloves. The KONG SD features a silicone-fused grip palm which greatly enhances dexterity and grip. The KONG Original, considered the "gold standard" for oil and gas extraction worker hand safety, has been recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior for exceptional performance in enhancing hand safety.

"Ironclad has successfully combined the exceptional features and performance of the KONG glove line for the oil and gas extraction worker into a KONG glove for the rig construction workplace, with technology specifically designed for this uniquely hostile environment,"  said Ed Jaeger, founder and head of business development for Ironclad Performance Wear. "Ironclad has, once again, raised the bar for hand safety, and we expect that the KONG SD, like its older brother, will become the 'gold standard' for hand safety within the rig, platform and facilities construction segment."

In addition to the KONG Super Dexterity glove, Ironclad manufactures the KONG Original and KONG Winter/Water-Proof. Each of these styles is designed to address the unique challenges encountered by workers on oil and gas platforms around the world.
