FAQs

What does 'Level F cut resistance' mean?

Level F is the highest rating in the EN 388 standard for cut resistance, indicating superior protection against severe cutting hazards.

Can these gloves be used for protection against heat from welding?

No, these gloves offer protection against contact heat up to 100°C. They are not designed for welding sparks or high-temperature industrial heat.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart and measure your hand circumference at the knuckles. The 'M' in the product title indicates a Medium size.

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are not fully waterproof. The PU coating offers some resistance to light moisture and oily substances, but they are not designed for immersion in water.

How long will the touchscreen compatibility last?

Touchscreen compatibility is dependent on the condition of the PU coating on the fingertips. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive abrasion will help maintain this feature.

What materials are these gloves made from?

The gloves are constructed from HPPE, Nylon, Glass Fibre, Elastane, and PU.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is recommended to hand wash the gloves. Machine washing may damage the materials and reduce their protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

Glove feels stiff or less flexible

This can happen in very cold conditions. Allow the gloves to warm up to room temperature for a few minutes before use. Ensure they are completely dry after cleaning.

Reduced grip after exposure to oil

While designed for light oily environments, prolonged exposure to heavy oils can affect PU coating. Clean gloves thoroughly after use as per care instructions. For heavy oil, consider a glove specifically designed for such conditions.

Touchscreen not responding

Ensure fingertips are clean and making direct contact with the screen. Some screen protectors or heavy dirt/grime on the glove can interfere with conductivity. Test on a different touchscreen device.

Seam or thumb crotch feels weak

Inspect the area carefully. If the reinforcement is compromised, the glove may no longer offer full protection and should be replaced.
