Product Information
Full details
The Portwest A655 Sabre Lite Gloves are designed for professionals who handle sharp objects and need reliable protection without compromising dexterity. Their key benefit is providing Level D cut resistance for enhanced safety during tasks involving knives or blades, reducing the risk of serious cuts and downtime. A potential caveat is that while comfortable, they are designed for protection against cuts, not necessarily for extreme impact or heavy-duty abrasion.

FAQs
What level of cut protection do these gloves offer?
The Portwest A655 Sabre Lite Gloves offer Level D cut resistance according to EN 388 standards, providing a high degree of protection against sharp objects.
Can these gloves be used for handling food?
Yes, these gloves are CE certified as food safe, making them suitable for use in food handling and processing environments.
How should I clean the gloves?
You can machine wash the gloves at a maximum temperature of 60°C using a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying; air dry them instead.
Are these gloves suitable for left-handed and right-handed users?
Yes, the gloves feature an ambidextrous design, meaning they can be worn by both left-handed and right-handed users.
What material is the liner made of?
The gloves feature a 13 gauge liner, which contributes to their comfort, dexterity, and protective qualities.
Do these gloves protect against punctures?
While they offer excellent cut resistance, their primary design is for protection against sharp blades. Protection against significant punctures may vary depending on the force and nature of the object.
How long do these gloves typically last?
The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. Following the care instructions and inspecting for damage will help maximize their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart if needed. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.
Reduced cut protection after washing
Ensure gloves are washed according to the care instructions (max 60°C, mild detergent) and not tumble dried. Improper washing can degrade the protective fibers over time.
Gloves are uncomfortable during extended wear
While designed for comfort, extended wear in hot environments may cause discomfort. Ensure good hand hygiene and take short breaks. The 13 gauge liner is designed for dexterity, but individual comfort can vary.
