Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold conditions?

These gloves are designed for protection against cuts and static discharge. While they offer some insulation, they are not specifically rated for extreme cold and may not provide adequate warmth in such environments.

How does the ESD protection work?

The gloves are constructed with a blend of polyester and carbon fibre, which creates a path for static electricity to safely dissipate away from the wearer and sensitive electronics.

Can I use these gloves for welding?

No, these gloves are not designed for high-heat applications like welding. They offer cut resistance and ESD protection, not thermal protection from sparks or extreme heat.

What does 'Level C' cut resistance mean?

Level C cut resistance, according to EN 388 standards, indicates a good level of protection against medium to significant cuts. It means the gloves can withstand a moderate amount of force before being cut.

How many pairs of gloves are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 pairs of gloves.

Can these gloves be washed in a machine?

It is recommended to hand wash these gloves in cool water with mild soap. Machine washing may damage the protective fibers and reduce their effectiveness.

What is the lifespan of these gloves?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use. The reinforced thumb crotch adds durability, but regular inspection for wear and tear is advised. Replace immediately if compromised.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart for guidance. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Reduced touchscreen sensitivity.

Ensure the PU palm coating is clean and dry. Oils or dirt can interfere with conductivity. Ensure fingertips are making full contact with the screen.

Loss of anti-static properties over time.

Washing the gloves according to care instructions can help restore conductivity. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the carbon fibres.

Visible signs of wear or damage.

Immediately discontinue use and replace the gloves. Damaged gloves cannot provide the advertised level of protection.
