Stanley Performance Fingerless Gloves

EN 388 is a European standard that specifies requirements, test methods, marking, and user information for protective gloves against mechanical and thermal risks. For these gloves, it indicates they meet certain levels of protection against abrasion, cutting, tearing, and puncture.

These gloves are designed for tasks requiring dexterity and offer abrasion and puncture resistance. For heavy construction work that involves significant impact or heavy material handling, gloves with more robust padding and full finger coverage might be more appropriate.

While the gloves offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may affect grip and comfort.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. Typically, you would measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand.

The fingerless design enhances dexterity but leaves fingertips exposed. While the gloves protect the palm and back of the hand, specific protection for fingertips is reduced compared to full-fingered gloves.

The lifespan of the gloves depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Inspect them regularly for signs of wear, such as thinning material, frayed seams, or reduced grip. Replace them when they show significant signs of damage or degradation.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide if available. For minor tightness, wear them for a short period to allow for some stretching. For looseness, consider if a smaller size is needed.

Ensure the padding is correctly aligned within the glove. Some users may need a break-in period for the padding to conform to their hand shape.

Inspect the seams for any loose threads. Trim any stray threads carefully with scissors. If the seam is significantly damaged, the glove may need to be replaced.

Ensure the gloves are clean and free from grease, oil, or dirt, which can compromise grip. If the material appears worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.
