TEST OUR GLOVES: SHOWA 4 WEEK TRIAL PROGRAMME

The SHOWA 4WTP consists of a strategic plan whereby glove trials can be managed effectively through 4 timed processes. These processes evaluate the performance of a SHOWA glove vs a currently used glove, indicating user preferences and advantages in terms of comfort, dexterity, fit and longevity. After 4 weeks a cost-efficient, custom-made plan for your hand protection needs is presented.
