Product Information

Full details

The Dickies Kong Heavy Duty Safety Gloves are engineered for professionals working in high-risk environments such as oil and gas drilling, heavy construction, and mining. Designed for maximum hand protection, these gloves provide industry-leading impact absorption and cut resistance, making them ideal for heavy-duty labor. While they offer exceptional safety and durability, their rigid construction and high-level protection mean they may feel bulkier than standard lightweight utility gloves, which can slightly reduce dexterity for fine motor tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves machine washable?

While they can withstand heavy labor, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the TPR impact protection.

What does EN388 Cut Level 5 mean?

It indicates the highest level of cut resistance according to the EN388 standard, meaning the material can withstand significant pressure from sharp objects.

Can I use these for delicate assembly work?

These gloves are built for heavy-duty protection and are not recommended for tasks requiring extreme dexterity or fine motor control.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your hand circumference around the knuckles and compare it to the Dickies/KONG standard sizing chart to ensure a secure fit.

Does the silicone grip wear off over time?

Like any high-performance gear, the surface grip will eventually wear down depending on the intensity of use and the abrasive nature of your work environment.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on smooth, dry surfaces

Clean the Diamondclad palm with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup, as the silicone performs best when free of surface contaminants.

Gloves feel too stiff during initial use

Wear the gloves for short periods during light tasks to allow the material to flex and conform to your hand shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximum cut resistance (EN388 Level 5)
  • Superior impact protection for knuckles and hands
  • Excellent grip in oil-slicked environments
  • Reinforced durability in high-stress areas
  • Quick-adjustment cuff puller

Cons

  • Reduced tactile sensitivity for fine tasks
  • Bulkier profile compared to standard gloves
  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure longevity, inspect the gloves before each use for signs of deep cuts or excessive wear in the protective layers. The gloves are designed to be worn as a primary safety layer and fit comfortably with most standard work jackets. To clean, wipe away heavy dirt or grease with a damp cloth or a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the silicone grip. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a ventilated area, away from direct heat sources, to prevent the internal protective padding from losing its shape.
