Designed for Quadriplegics and Limited Dexterity

The gloves help you maneuver a wheelchair, and they double as a trusted tool for transfers, a help with dressing and a resource for many daily activities. Each pair is custom made of quality suede with tacky rubber palm inserts.

How the Glove Design Works

Rubber palm on the heel of the hand

The rubber grips the push rim right where you press, so more of each push reaches your wheels. It also cushions your palm when you push or brake.

Hook-and-loop strap with D-ring

The strap makes the gloves easy to put on and take off. Wear them with the D-ring pulled toward the thumb.

Natural look, open fingers

Most of the hand stays exposed, so the gloves look natural and leave your fingers free.

Break-In, Sizes and Care

Short break-in period

New suede can feel a little stiff. Wearing the gloves for a few hours on each of the first couple of days is usually enough.

Four sizes, twelve colors

Choose Extra Small, Small, Medium or Large with the hand measurement sizing chart, then pick your color.

Washing

Machine wash and dry with like colors, or hand wash and air dry separately. Keep the strap closed. See the cleaning and disinfecting guide.

Frequently asked questions

What are the gloves made of?

Quality suede with a tacky rubber palm insert, closed with a sturdy hook-and-loop strap and a D-ring.

Why is the rubber palm on the heel of the hand?

The heel of the hand is where most push power is delivered to the push rim. The rubber grips the rim so pushing takes less effort, and it protects your skin when pushing or braking.

Do the gloves need to be broken in?

Yes, a little. They may feel stiff at first, but wearing them for a few hours on each of the first couple of days usually softens them for a comfortable fit.

Which way should the D-ring face when I put the gloves on?

Wear the gloves so the D-ring is pulled toward the thumb.

Do the gloves cover the fingers?

No. Most of the hand is left exposed for a natural appearance and free fingers. The suede and rubber palm cover the palm area where grip and protection matter.

Jeremy said he couldn't push up the ramp before he received his Gloves for Life!
"I've been a quadriplegic for about a year and a half now, and Gloves for Life have been great. They help me push my chair, of course, but they also help me open and close water bottles and jars, put my socks on, and transfer more securely. They also make it easier to open doors; in fact, I couldn't open my pantry at all without them! Plus, the customer service is awesome. I've definitely had no regrets!"
