FAQs

What level of cut resistance do these gloves offer?

These gloves offer Level F cut resistance, which is the highest rating available according to EN 388 standards, providing maximum protection against severe cuts.

Are these gloves suitable for handling very hot or cold materials?

The primary function is cut protection and grip. They do not offer specialized thermal insulation for extreme hot or cold temperatures. For such applications, consider gloves designed specifically for thermal protection.

How do I know if I have the right size glove?

A proper fit should be snug but not tight, allowing full finger movement and dexterity without restricting circulation. Your fingertips should not press against the end of the glove.

Can these gloves be used for prolonged immersion in liquids?

The nitrile foam coating provides excellent grip in wet conditions, but the gloves are not designed for prolonged immersion. For tasks requiring full submersion, consider waterproof gloves.

What does '18-gauge liner' mean?

An 18-gauge liner refers to the density of the knit. A higher gauge number (like 18) indicates a finer knit, which results in a thinner, more flexible, and dexterous glove.

How often should I replace these gloves?

Gloves should be replaced immediately if they show signs of damage such as cuts, tears, or significant wear on the palm coating. Even without visible damage, regular use will eventually wear down protective properties.

Are the materials used in these gloves safe for skin contact?

Yes, the materials (HPPE, Nylon, Steel Fibre, Nitrile Foam) are selected for safety and performance. The gloves are CE certified and compliant with EN ISO 21420:2020 for skin-friendliness and harmlessness.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on surfaces

Ensure the palm coating is clean and free from dirt, oils, or moisture. If the coating is worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.

Loss of dexterity or discomfort

Check if the gloves are the correct size. If too tight, they can restrict movement; if too loose, they reduce precision. Ensure they are clean and dry, as moisture can affect feel.

Touchscreen not responding

Verify that the touchscreen surface of the glove is clean. Some specialized screens or protective films may offer reduced compatibility. Ensure fingers are properly positioned on the sensor area.

Gloves feel stiff after washing

Ensure the gloves were air-dried away from direct heat. Mild stiffness can sometimes occur but should improve with wear. Avoid machine washing or drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers industry-leading Level F cut protection.
  • Excellent dexterity due to the 18-gauge liner.
  • Provides a reliable grip in various conditions (wet and dry).
  • Durable construction with reinforced thumb crotch for longevity.
  • Touchscreen compatible for modern work environments.
  • Enhanced visibility in low-light settings.

Cons

  • May offer less insulation in very cold conditions.
  • Nitrile foam coating can degrade with prolonged exposure to certain solvents.
  • Requires proper care to maintain grip and cut resistance properties.
  • Specific sizing is crucial for optimal dexterity and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear directly from the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance. A snug fit without being too tight is recommended to maximize dexterity and comfort.

Compatibility: The gloves are designed to be compatible with most standard touchscreen devices, allowing for seamless operation of smartphones, tablets, and other touch-enabled interfaces.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the gloves using a mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach, as this can degrade the materials and compromise protection.
  • Drying: Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or ovens, as high temperatures can damage the nitrile coating and the liner.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their material integrity and grip.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect gloves for any signs of wear, such as cuts, tears, or abrasion on the palm coating. Discard and replace gloves that show significant damage to ensure continued protection.
