Work gloves in Malaysia: prices, standards and sizes

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites in November 2026, a 12-pair pack of work gloves costs about RM 4.50 to RM 18 in Malaysia, coated general-use gloves RM 9 to RM 50, leather or cut-resistant gloves RM 24 to RM 106, and heavy-duty mechanic gloves RM 153 to RM 181. For current offers, describe the glove type and size in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Standards and labels to look for

Gloves are often labelled to EN 388 for mechanical risks and EN 374 for chemical protection, and ANSI/ISEA 105 is also generally accepted in Malaysian workplaces. Check the standard printed on the pack, not only the word "safety". Medical examination and surgical gloves are medical devices in Malaysia and must carry the labelling that medical devices require, so check that label before buying them for clinical use. Guides for employers also list work gloves among PPE that must be replaced once worn through or degraded.

Heat and sweat on long shifts

Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no cold-weather buying peak. Heat makes sweat build up inside gloves, and wet gloves lose grip sooner, so breathable knit backs and coated palms suit long shifts better than thick leather in the afternoon. Replace gloves early when they show cuts, holes, loss of grip or chemical contamination.

How gloves are sold and delivered

Gloves are sold per pair or per pack, and the pack listings cost much less per pair than single pairs, so compare the number of pairs first. Sizes appear as numbers such as size 7 or size 9, or as S to XL, so check the size chart before buying a pack. Name the delivery city, such as Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam, and ask whether the price includes tax and delivery.

What to write in your request

Say what the gloves are for, such as mechanical work, construction, cleaning or handling chemicals. Add the glove type and coating (nitrile, PU or leather), the number of pairs, the size and any protection you need, such as cut resistance or chemical resistance. Give the knit gauge or density if you know it, the delivery city and a budget per pair.

Describe the gloves in your own words in a chat on BlaBlaPrice and add a photo of the label if you have one.
