FAQs
What does CE Cat 2 & EN388 Certified mean?
This certification indicates that the gloves have been tested and meet specific European standards for protective gloves, specifically related to mechanical risks (like abrasion, cuts, punctures, and tearing) as defined by EN388. Category 2 signifies a medium level of risk protection.
Are these gloves suitable for handling chemicals?
The primary protection is against mechanical hazards. While the latex coating offers some resistance, these gloves are not specifically designed as chemical-resistant gloves. For handling specific chemicals, gloves designed for that purpose should be used.
Can I use these for very fine manipulation tasks?
These gloves are designed for heavy-duty use and offer good flexibility. However, due to the textured grip and thickness of the latex, they may not be ideal for tasks requiring extremely fine motor skills or delicate touch.
How long do these gloves typically last?
The lifespan depends heavily on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. For demanding daily use in construction or trade environments, they may need replacement every few months. With lighter DIY use and good care, they can last longer.
What is the main advantage of the ultra-grip material?
The ultra-grip material is designed to significantly enhance friction between the glove and the object being held. This leads to a more secure hold on tools, materials, and surfaces, reducing the risk of dropping items or losing control.
Are these gloves waterproof?
The latex coating provides a barrier against water and moisture, making them resistant to splashes and damp conditions. However, they are not designed for prolonged immersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. These are Size 10 (XL); if they do not fit properly, consider if a different size would be more appropriate. Proper fit is crucial for both comfort and safety.
Reduced grip after getting wet.
While the latex offers grip, excessive water can affect surface friction. Dry the gloves thoroughly before use or wipe the contact surface dry.
Latex odor is noticeable.
A slight odor may be present due to the latex material. Airing the gloves out in a well-ventilated area for a few hours should help dissipate the smell.
Damage to the latex coating.
Inspect the gloves regularly for cracks, tears, or peeling. If the protective coating is compromised, the gloves should be replaced to maintain safety standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size (Size 10 XL in this case) for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications including DIY, construction, trades, maintenance, and general workshop use. Not recommended for protection against extreme heat, chemicals, or very sharp cutting hazards beyond the scope of their EN388 certification.
Care: To maintain the gloves' integrity and performance:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If washing is necessary, use cool water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly or storing them under heavy objects which could compromise their shape or grip.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of wear, tears, or damage to the coating. Discontinue use if significant damage is present.
