Portwest A320 Dexti-Grip Nitrile Gloves

The Portwest A320 gloves offer protection against incidental contact with surface oils. They are not designed for prolonged exposure or immersion in chemicals and should not be used for hazardous chemical handling.

These gloves have a basic cut resistance (ANSI A1). They are suitable for protection against minor abrasions and light incidental contact with slightly sharp objects but are not recommended for handling sharp blades, broken glass, or materials with a significant cut hazard.

Consult the Portwest sizing chart, which typically correlates glove size with hand measurements (e.g., circumference of the palm). A proper fit ensures maximum dexterity and comfort.

The lifespan of the gloves depends heavily on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the specific application and care provided. For tasks involving moderate abrasion and regular use, they offer good durability, but for very demanding jobs, replacement may be needed more frequently.

Yes, they can be washed gently with mild soap and cool water. Ensure they are air-dried completely away from heat sources to maintain their integrity and grip properties.

The '13 gauge' refers to the thickness and density of the knit liner material. A lower gauge number (e.g., 10) means a thicker, heavier knit, while a higher gauge number (e.g., 13 or 15) indicates a finer, more lightweight, and often more dexterous knit.

Ensure the nitrile foam coating is clean and free from debris. If the gloves are heavily soiled, they may need to be replaced as the coating's effectiveness can diminish with excessive contamination.

While designed for breathability, intense activity may still cause some perspiration. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a proper fit. Allow for short breaks to air out hands if necessary.

The gloves may be used in an application exceeding their intended protection level. Inspect the task for potential hazards like sharp edges or excessive abrasion. Consider a glove with a higher protection rating if necessary. Check for proper sizing; too tight a fit can strain the material.

Refer to the Portwest sizing guide to select the most appropriate size. A proper fit is crucial for both dexterity and comfort. If the current size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
