Extended Product Information

FAQs

What level of cut resistance do these gloves offer?

These gloves offer Level E cut resistance according to EN388 standards and ANSI Cut Level A6.

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot objects?

The gloves are rated X1XXXX for EN 407:2020, indicating minimal resistance to heat (specifically, resistance to contact heat). They are not designed for handling very hot objects.

How do the TPR pods improve performance?

The TPR pods are directly bonded to the liner without traditional stitching. This design allows the glove to flex naturally with your hand, enhancing dexterity and providing superior impact protection without stiffness.

Can I use these gloves for fine motor tasks?

Yes, the combination of the 13-gauge liner, flexible coating, and innovative TPR design allows for excellent dexterity, making them suitable for precise tasks.

What makes the grip on these gloves effective in both wet and dry conditions?

The flexible sandy nitrile coating provides a textured surface that channels away liquids and ensures a secure hold on objects, maintaining grip effectiveness in both wet and dry environments.

How should I clean and maintain my gloves?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Are these gloves certified for safety?

Yes, the Portwest A727 DX VHR Impact Glove is CE certified and meets various international standards including EN ISO 21420, EN388, and EN 407.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or loose.

Refer to the Portwest size guide to ensure you have selected the correct size. An improper fit can reduce protection and comfort.

Reduced grip in wet conditions.

Ensure the sandy nitrile coating is clean and free from debris. While designed for wet grip, excessive contamination can affect performance.

Noticeable wear on the nitrile coating.

The sandy nitrile coating provides excellent grip but may show wear over time with highly abrasive materials. Inspect for significant degradation and consider replacement if grip is compromised.

Discomfort during prolonged use.

Ensure the correct size is being used. The comfort fit is designed for extended wear; persistent discomfort may indicate an incorrect size or a need for a different glove model for your specific task.
