Universal heavy-duty gloves created to provide basic mechanical protection. Thanks to the proper fit, they provide full grip control and do not hinder the performance of precise activities. They will prove useful for law enforcement personnel, military personnel, people who practice shooting sports, as well as during survival expeditions, work in an auto workshop, DIY or ASG games.
The upper part of the gloves is made from breathable, lightweight TrekDry Form-fitting material, which reduces hand sweating. The durable DuraHide leather, used for the gripping part, ensures high resistance during work with heavy tools or any tasks performed, e.g., on a construction site. The thumb and index finger are reinforced with an additional layer of material.
A wide cuff with a ribbing provides extra protection and keeps the gloves securely on the wrist. The entry opening is extra wide, making it easy to put on the glove.
The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 4XX for cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance, which means:
- 4: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 1 to 6)
- X: cut resistance (on a scale from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)
The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 4111X for mechanical protection, which means:
- 4: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- 1: cut resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)
- 1: tear resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- 1: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- X: cut resistance - TDM test (ISO 13997) (on a scale A-F)
In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles the material can withstand before wearing out. Cut resistance is classified on a scale from A1 to A9 (from the lowest to the highest level of protection). Puncture resistance is determined on a scale from 0 to 5 and indicates the force required to puncture the surface of the glove with a sharp point (does not apply to needle punctures).
The scales provided in the EN388 standard specify the level of protection for gloves: a value of 0 means no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum level of resistance.
In the TDM test method (ISO 13997), letter designations are used, where A represents the lowest level of protection and F the highest.
The X marking indicates that the parameter has not been tested or is not applicable. The P marking indicates that the glove meets the requirements for impact protection.
