Product Information
Full details
The Portwest A120 PU Palm Glove is an essential tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a balance of high-level dexterity and reliable abrasion resistance. Designed for tasks that demand precision, these gloves feature a breathable, palm-dipped polyurethane coating that ensures optimal control and comfort for extended wear. While they provide excellent tactile feedback for detail-oriented work, users should note that their ANSI cut level A1 rating means they are best suited for light-duty applications rather than heavy-duty mechanical cutting tasks.

FAQs
Are these gloves machine washable?
Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the PU coating and the liner integrity.
Can I use these for handling hot objects?
No, these gloves are not heat resistant and should not be used near open flames or high-temperature surfaces.
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
While the thin material allows for some interaction with touchscreens, they are not explicitly marketed as touch-conductive.
What does ANSI Cut Level A1 mean?
It indicates the glove provides basic protection against light cut hazards, suitable for general handling but not high-risk cutting tasks.
Is the glove material latex-free?
Yes, these gloves use a polyurethane coating on a synthetic liner, making them a great alternative for those with latex sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel tight or restrict movement
Ensure you have selected the correct size (XS through XXL). If the gloves are new, they may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to your hand shape.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Check the PU palm coating for dust, oil, or debris. Wipe with a damp, clean cloth and air dry to restore original grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Portwest A120 gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any rips, tears, or excessive wear on the PU coating.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using mild detergent and cool water if they become soiled. Avoid using strong chemical solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can degrade the polyurethane material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material breakdown.
- Compatibility: These gloves are compatible with most light-duty assembly tools and standard handheld electronic devices.
