A dropped vial, an overfilled dewar, or a moment of inattention — a cryogenic liquid spill can reach hands, lower legs, and feet simultaneously. The TempShield CRYO-PROTECTION® Grip Safety Kit Plus (SKCG-GR Series) addresses all three zones in a single CE Category III certified kit: Waterproof CRYO-GRIP® gloves with a textured grip palm and GORE-TEX liner, CRYO-GAITERS™ for lower-leg and foot protection, a CRYO-APRON® for torso coverage, and a CRYO-PROTECTION® Face Shield — complete head-to-toe PPE for open liquid nitrogen and cryogenic liquid work. Protection to -196°C (-320°F). Made in USA.

CRYO-GRIP® Glove Features
- Textured Grip Palm — Improved Dexterity: Grip-patterned palm surface maintains secure hold on small objects — vials, valves, fittings — even with cold hands wearing thick cryogenic gloves. The key distinction from standard smooth-palm cryogenic gloves.
- 100% Waterproof GORE-TEX Liner: Thin, seamless GORE-TEX membrane blocks cryogenic liquid splash penetration while remaining breathable during extended wear.
- -196°C (-320°F) Protection: Multi-layer construction delivers thermal protection through liquid nitrogen contact, vapor-phase exposure, and cryogenic splash scenarios.
- CE Cat. III — EN 511, EN 388, EN 420: Cold protection, mechanical resistance, and general glove performance. Cat. III is mandatory for PPE protecting against serious irreversible injury.
- ⚠ Not for immersion in cryogenic liquids. Rated for splash, spill, and cold-contact — not sustained submersion.
Grip Safety Kit vs. Grip Safety Kit Plus — Key Difference
The standard CRYO-PROTECTION® Grip Safety Kit (SKCGMAS42 series) includes gloves, apron, and face shield — no gaiters. The Grip Safety Kit Plus (this product) adds CRYO-GAITERS™, making it a complete head-to-toe system. Choose the Plus when your risk assessment includes lower-leg or foot exposure from floor-level spills, LNG transfer, or work directly over open cryogenic vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CRYO-GRIP® and standard CRYO-GLOVES®?
CRYO-GRIP® gloves add a textured grip-palm surface over the standard cryogenic glove construction. For tasks requiring fine manipulation — opening vial caps, operating small valves, handling cryogenic tools — the grip pattern maintains control that smooth-palm gloves lose in cold conditions.
Do the elbow-length and midarm variants include different apron sizes?
Yes. Elbow variants (SKCGE-GR series) include a 48" CRYO-APRON®; midarm variants (SKCGM-GR series) include a 42" CRYO-APRON®. Both include the same gloves (at the arm length specified), the same gaiters, and the same face shield.
