FAQs

What are the primary benefits of the 3/4 dip design?

The 3/4 dip provides enhanced protection to the back of the hand, offering more coverage against splashes and contact with liquids compared to gloves with only palm dipping.

How does the nitrile foam coating improve grip?

The sandy texture of the nitrile foam coating creates micro-channels that help to displace liquids, allowing for direct contact between the glove material and the object being handled, resulting in a superior grip in both wet and oily conditions.

Are these gloves suitable for handling hot objects?

No, these gloves are not designed for protection against heat. They are primarily for mechanical risks and protection against liquids, oils, and greases.

What does the '15-gauge liner' mean?

A 15-gauge liner refers to the thickness and fineness of the knit. A lower gauge number (like 15) indicates a finer knit, which results in a thinner, more flexible, and dextrous glove.

Can I use these gloves for protection against sharp objects?

The gloves have an EN388 rating of 4131X, with a cut level of A1. They offer some protection against abrasion and tearing, but are not designed for protection against sharp objects or heavy cutting tasks. For those, specialized cut-resistant gloves would be necessary.

How often should I replace these gloves?

The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the specific tasks performed. Inspect them regularly for signs of wear, such as tears, holes, or a degraded coating, and replace them when compromised.

Are these gloves suitable for people with sensitive skin?

The gloves feature a breathable seamless liner which can improve comfort. However, individuals with specific allergies to nylon, elastane, or nitrile should avoid using these gloves.

Troubleshooting

Glove feels too tight or too loose

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

Reduced grip in wet conditions

Ensure the glove's coating is clean and free from debris. If the coating appears worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.

Hands feel uncomfortable or sweaty after prolonged use

While the liner is breathable, prolonged use in hot environments can still lead to sweat. Remove gloves periodically to allow hands to air out. Ensure the correct size is being used as a tight fit can exacerbate this.

Coating shows signs of wear or cracking

This indicates the gloves have reached the end of their service life for the tasks performed. Replace the gloves to maintain protection.
