Product Information

Full details

The Portwest A729 Anti Impact Cut Resistant Thermal Gloves are designed for professionals working in cold environments who handle sharp objects or face impact hazards. Their key benefit is providing a robust combination of cut resistance, impact protection, and thermal insulation without sacrificing dexterity. A potential caveat is that while designed for cold, extreme conditions may still require additional layering for optimal comfort.

FAQs

What level of cut resistance do these gloves offer?

The Portwest A729 gloves offer Level C cut resistance according to EN ISO 21420 standards and ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A4.

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, they are specially designed for cold conditions with a 13-gauge liner for thermal insulation. However, for extreme sub-zero temperatures, additional layering might be considered.

How should I clean these gloves?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What does the TPR pod technology do?

TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) pods are integrated into the gloves to provide maximum protection against impacts and blows to the hand.

Can I use these gloves for handling liquids?

The nitrile micro foam palm offers protection against liquid and water penetration, providing a reliable grip even in damp conditions.

What is the warranty period for these gloves?

Specific warranty details should be checked with the retailer, as it typically varies. Portwest generally offers a warranty against manufacturing defects.

Are these gloves CE certified?

Yes, the Portwest A729 gloves are CE certified and meet various international standards including EN ISO 21420, EN388, EN 511, and ANSI/ISEA standards.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Refer to the Portwest size guide to find the correct size. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Reduced grip after getting wet

Allow the gloves to air dry completely. The nitrile micro foam palm regains its superior grip when dry.

Visible wear on the palm area

Inspect for abrasion. While durable, heavy use on rough surfaces can cause wear. Consider replacement if performance is compromised.

TPR pods feel stiff in extreme cold

Allow gloves to warm up on your hands for a few minutes before intense activity. This is normal for materials in very low temperatures.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure they are the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The wrist strap can be adjusted for a secure closure.

Compatibility: Designed for general industrial use, construction, logistics, and cold-weather handling tasks. They are compatible with many different work environments but are not intended for use with open flames or extreme heat.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Air dry completely away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
