FAQs
What does Level 5 cut resistance mean?
Level 5 cut resistance, according to the EN388 standard, indicates a high level of protection against cuts. It means the glove can withstand a significant amount of force before being cut, making it suitable for handling sharp objects.
Are these gloves waterproof?
These gloves are primarily designed for cut and abrasion resistance. They are not rated as waterproof and may not offer adequate protection in wet conditions.
Can I use these for heavy-duty industrial work?
Yes, their Level 5 cut resistance and durable construction make them suitable for many heavy-duty industrial tasks, especially those involving sharp materials like metal and glass.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The XL size corresponds to a UK size 10. It is recommended to measure your hand circumference and compare it to a sizing chart if available, or try them on to ensure a snug but comfortable fit without restricting movement.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing in cold water with mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to maintain their protective qualities.
What is the primary material of these gloves?
The gloves are made from high-performance synthetic fibers with a PU (Polyurethane) coating on a nylon base.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If XL (Size 10) is too large, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate. If it's still too snug, these gloves may not be the best fit for your hand size.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
The PU coating enhances grip, but very smooth or wet surfaces may still present a challenge. For extremely slippery conditions, consider gloves specifically designed for wet grip.
Fibers snagging on sharp edges
While highly cut-resistant, no glove is entirely snag-proof. Avoid intentionally dragging the gloves across extremely sharp or abrasive edges to prolong their lifespan.
