Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A631 Vis-Tex Cut Long Cuff Gloves are designed for construction and industrial workers who require high-level cut protection combined with forearm safety. These gloves excel at balancing heavy-duty safety standards with breathability and dexterity, making them an ideal choice for handling sharp materials over extended shifts. However, while the smooth PU coating provides excellent grip and protection, the gloves may not offer the same level of tactile sensitivity as thinner, non-coated alternatives.

FAQs

What does Level D cut resistance mean?

Level D cut resistance indicates that the glove provides a high level of protection against sharp objects, suitable for tasks involving a medium to high risk of cuts.

Are these gloves machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash with mild soap and air dry to maintain the integrity of the protective fibers and the PU coating.

Can I use these gloves for food preparation?

No, these gloves are designed for industrial and construction use and are not certified for food contact.

Why is the cuff 10cm long?

The extended 10cm cuff is specifically included to protect the wrist and forearm, which are common areas for accidental contact with sharp debris.

Do these gloves protect against heat?

They are designed to offer heat protection, but they are not intended for handling extremely hot industrial materials or open flames.

Are these gloves touch-screen compatible?

The PU coating is designed primarily for grip and protection; they are generally not optimized for touch-screen responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

Loss of grip in oily conditions

Clean the palm area with a mild degreaser or wipe down thoroughly; if the PU coating is worn smooth, it is time to replace the pair.

Gloves feel too loose or slippery

Ensure you have selected the correct size (S through 2XL) to guarantee a snug, secure fit for safety.

Material snagging on sharp objects

While the gloves offer cut resistance, they are not puncture-proof. Inspect for snagged fibers and trim with caution or replace if the liner integrity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves are ready for use immediately upon removing them from their packaging. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, inspect the gloves for any signs of fraying or degradation before every shift.

Care Instructions

  • Wash using a mild detergent and cool water to prevent fiber damage.
