Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for handling sharp glass?

While they offer some protection against abrasion, they are not rated specifically as cut-resistant gloves and should not be used for heavy-duty glass or sharp blade handling.

Can these be washed in a machine?

Machine washing is generally discouraged as it may damage the specialized PVC coating and the internal insulation.

What standards do these gloves meet?

They are CE certified to EN 388 and EN 511, covering mechanical risk protection and protection against cold, respectively.

Will the orange color fade?

While the high-visibility pigment is durable, prolonged exposure to direct UV rays and harsh chemicals will eventually reduce color vibrancy.

Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?

No, the thickness and the PVC coating design are not intended for use with touchscreens.

Do these gloves come in sizes other than XL?

This specific guide covers the XL variant, but please check for other sizes in the product line if a different fit is required.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff in very cold temperatures

Allow the gloves to reach room temperature before putting them on to improve flexibility.

Moisture inside the glove after heavy work

This is likely sweat accumulation; ensure you rotate your gloves and allow them to air-dry between shifts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent liquid and chemical resistance
  • High-visibility color for increased workplace safety
  • Reliable thermal insulation for cold environments
  • Durable construction suitable for abrasive industrial tasks

Cons

  • Bulkier than standard nitrile or thin work gloves
  • May limit fine-motor dexterity in small part handling
  • Not intended for extreme heat or puncture-heavy environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Portwest gloves, follow these care instructions:

  1. Inspection: Before use, check for any tears or punctures in the PVC coating that could compromise liquid resistance.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior PVC surface with a damp cloth after exposure to oils or chemicals. Do not use harsh solvents that might degrade the PVC.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the PVC to stiffen over time.
  4. Drying: If the interior becomes damp from perspiration, air dry the gloves thoroughly before the next shift to prevent bacterial growth and odor.
