Description
A Reflective, Heatrac-Insulated Cowhide Glove That Keeps Cold-Weather Crews Warm, Dry, And Easy To See On Roadside And Construction Jobs
The Caiman 1353 is a hi-vis cowhide waterproof winter work glove built for cold-weather crews who need to be seen. The orange poly back and reflective tape stand out in low light, while 140g Heatrac insulation and a waterproof membrane keep hands warm and dry. A reinforced cowhide palm handles heavy, abrasive work on construction, utility, and roadside sites all winter long.
Key Features and Benefits of the Caiman 1353 Hi-Vis Waterproof Work Gloves
- Split cowhide leather palm. Heavy-duty cowhide stands up to abrasion and rough handling, with an extra reinforced layer over the high-stress grip areas, so the glove lasts through long stretches of hard winter work.
- Hi-vis orange back with reflective tape. The bright orange poly back carries silver reflective tape on the fingertips, knuckles, and around the cuff, so you stay visible in low light and traffic on roadside and night work.
- 140g Heatrac micro-fiber insulation. Caiman's Heatrac lining traps body heat in fine micro-fibers for reliable warmth in cold weather, without making the glove stiff, so your hands stay warm and still move freely.
- Waterproof, breathable membrane. A membrane behind the leather keeps snow, rain, and slush out while letting sweat escape, so hands stay dry from both the weather and from sweating inside the glove.
- Kontour Thumb design. Caiman shapes the thumb to follow the natural hand and moves the seam off the wear area at the base of the thumb, which cuts down on the seam blowouts and rubbing where gloves usually fail first.
- Secure combo cuff. The cuff seals snugly at the wrist to block wind and keep snow and debris out, while still going on and off easily for a comfortable fit over a long shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Caiman 1353 different from the other Caiman winter gloves?
The Caiman 1353 is the hi-vis cowhide option, made for crews who need to be seen in low light and traffic. The Caiman 2960 MAG is the low-profile pig grain version without hi-vis. The 2991 Rhino-Tex is the synthetic hi-vis option built for wind resistance. The Cowhide Leather Palm Winter glove is a non-hi-vis cowhide glove with an adjustable cuff.
Are the Caiman 1353 gloves waterproof?
The Caiman 1353 has a waterproof, breathable membrane that keeps snow, rain, and slush out during cold-weather work. It is built for wet winter conditions on the job, not for being held underwater. Buyers report their hands staying dry through snow, mud, and slush.
How warm are the Caiman 1353 gloves?
The Caiman 1353 uses 140g Heatrac micro-fiber insulation for cold-weather work, and buyers report keeping their hands warm while shoveling snow and working outdoors through winter. Warmth depends on the person and how active you are, so for a very deep cold a thin liner adds a margin.
What size should I order?
Caiman makes the 1353 in sizes Small through X-Large, and Cleanflow stocks Large and X-Large. The glove is built to fit over the Heatrac lining, so order your usual work-glove size. If you are between sizes or add a separate liner, size up.
Are the Caiman 1353 gloves cut-rated or rated for welding?
No. The Caiman 1353 has no ANSI cut rating and is not made for welding or high-heat work. It is a winter work glove for cold, wet outdoor jobs. For cut-rated, chemical, or welding gloves, see the broader work gloves range.
Can I machine wash the Caiman 1353?
No. The Caiman 1353 is hand washed only, per the manufacturer. Wash gently by hand and air-dry away from heat to protect the cowhide and the membrane. Machine washing can break down the membrane and dry out the leather.
Is there a non-insulated hi-vis Caiman glove for warmer weather?
Yes. For milder conditions where you do not need winter insulation, a lighter hi-vis option from the Caiman mechanics gloves range gives breathable, flexible hand protection. The 1353 is the insulated hi-vis pick for cold, wet work.
