Use these sleeves alone or with gloves to protect your arms when handling sharp objects. All meet the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, which designates levels of cut resistance based on the force needed to cut through the material of the sleeve using a razor blade.

Kevlar aramid sleeves absorb moisture.

Dyneema sleeves are thinner, more breathable, and more form fitting than Kevlar sleeves.

Spectra/stainless steel sleeves are the most durable cut-resistant sleeves.

Polyester sleeves reduce the risk of cuts as well as punctures when handling sharp and pointed objects.

Use sleeves with knit cuffs for a secure fit. Sleeves with open cuffs are more convenient to put on and take off than other sleeves.

Made of interlinked rings, these gloves protect your hands from cuts and puncture wounds. They’re often used for food processing, textile cutting, and sheet metal handling. These gloves meet EN 1082-1, a European standard that measures how well chainmail gloves resist penetration from knives. It’s comparable to ANSI Cut Level A9, which is the highest cut resistance rating for gloves. You can wear these gloves on either hand—just turn them inside out when you need to switch.

Made from stainless steel, these gloves are corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. Each ring is welded fully shut, so there are no gaps that could trap particles, and there are no studs or buckles that could harbor germs. For a snug fit, wrap the adjustment clip around the cuff and slide it into any ring to secure.
