About Glove Sizing

About Cut-Resistant Gloves

The coating on these gloves provides extra protection and wear resistance. 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 glove using a razor blade.

Polyethylene/fiberglass/steel blend gloves are designed with strong yet lightweight fibers that resist abrasion. Dyneema gloves are thinner, more breathable, and more form fitting than Kevlar gloves.

Palm-coated gloves have an uncoated back side that makes the gloves more comfortable and breathable. Fully coated gloves provide the same protection for the front and back of the hand. Polyurethane-coated gloves offer good tactility for precision handling and delicate tasks. PVC-coated gloves provide a good grip in dry as well as wet and oily conditions.

Style A provide cut protection without hindering dexterity. They are textured to provide added grip. For a secure fit, they have a knit cuff.

Style D have a longer cuff for additional forearm protection. An open cuff style makes them convenient to put on and take off. For additional grip, they are textured.

High-Dexterity Cut- and Puncture-Protection Gloves

Synthetic Leather

These flexible gloves combine cut resistance with a design that conforms to your hand for improved dexterity. All have reinforced palms to reduce the risk of cuts when handling sharp and pointed objects. They meet the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, which designates levels of cut resistance based on the force needed to cut through the material of the glove using a razor blade.

Hook and loop cuffs can be adjusted for a custom fit.

High-Dexterity Cut-Protection Gloves

An ultra-thin 21-gauge knit makes these the thinnest cut-protection gloves we offer. Wear them for assembly work and other jobs where you need a precise touch. These gloves meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for various forms of protection, such as cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance.

All of these gloves have an ANSI cut rating, which reflects the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. A4 is the common required minimum in industrial settings. The higher the rating, the more protection they provide. Use A5 and A6 gloves with cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. Textured gloves give you a strong grip in wet or oily environments. Smooth gloves have a tacky grip for handling dry objects. Because they’re smooth, they allow for more precise handling than textured gloves.

Nitrile coatings are more durable than polyurethane and resist chemicals and oil.

Leather Cut-Protection Gloves

Gloves

Gloves with Knuckle Guards

Made of leather, these gloves are more durable and wear-resistant than standard cut-protection gloves. All are rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cuts, punctures, abrasion, or heat.

All of these gloves have an ANSI cut rating, which reflects the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. A4 is the common required minimum in industrial settings. The higher the rating, the greater the protection. A5 and A6 gloves can be used while handling cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. Goatskin gloves are thinner than other leather gloves, allowing precision when working on delicate tasks.

Gloves that meet ANSI/ISEA 138 are tested for impact resistance based on how much force they absorb.

Food-Service Cut-Protection Gloves

Glove

Glove with Reinforced Index Finger, Palm, and Thumb

Chop, slice, and dice safely and with precision—these gloves keep your fingers nimble while still protecting you from cuts. They’re commonly used with knives and other sharp tools in food-service environments. All meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for various forms of protection, such as cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance. Gloves are sold individually (order two for a pair).

Gloves that are FDA compliant can be used in direct contact with food.

All have an ANSI cut rating, which reflects the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. The higher the rating, the more protection you get. A common minimum rating in food service, A6 gloves can be used with cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. Gloves with a reinforced index finger, palm, and thumb have added puncture protection in key areas.

Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards for resistance to abrasive surfaces, tears, cuts, and punctures.

High-Dexterity Cold- and Cut-Protection Gloves

Snug and flexible, these gloves shield your hands from sharp objects without limiting dexterity. A fleece lining protects you from frozen objects, frosty weather, and wind. The back of each glove has thick guards that absorb impacts when you’re working in tight spaces. A fluorescent backing makes these gloves easy to spot.

These gloves meet ANSI/ISEA 105, a standard that rates gloves on various forms of protection. They have a cut rating of A6, which means that they can be used with cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. They also meet ANSI/ISEA 138, which rates the impact resistance of gloves based on how much force they absorb. They’re level 2 for moderate impact resistance. These gloves have also been tested according to EN 388 standards for resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears, punctures, and impacts.
