About Glove Sizing

Gloves

Lined to keep hands warm and coated to prevent cuts, these gloves are often worn for work with sharp tools in cold environments. They meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut, abrasion, puncture, and impact resistance.

All 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 A8 when handling needles, spikes, and bulky objects with sharp edges.

Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards for resistance to abrasive surfaces, tears, cuts, and punctures—similar to ANSI/ISEA 105.

High-Dexterity Oil- and Cut-Protection Gloves

These gloves conform to your hand for improved dexterity. Often used on machine assembly jobs where protection against oil and cuts is essential, these gloves are thin enough for precision work. They resist tearing and degradation from oil and grease. Bumpers on the back of the gloves protect your hands from impact when working in confined spaces. 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.

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).

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. A8 and A9 gloves are ideal when handling needles, spikes, and bulky objects with sharp edges.

Heavy Duty Cold-Protection Mitts

Tougher than standard cold-protection mitts, these mitts protect your hands from cuts and impacts as well as wintry weather. They’re packed with insulation to keep you warm while you work. To keep you dry, the leather exterior is treated for water resistance. A separated index finger makes it easier to grab and hold objects.

These mitts are rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for resistance to cuts, abrasions, and punctures. The higher the rating, the greater the protection. They also meet ANSI 138 standards for impact resistance. Their EN 388 rating means they adhere to European standards for puncture resistance.

Due to import restrictions, these mitts cannot be sold to Canada.

Heavy Duty Arc-Flash-Protection Gloves

For jobs where arc-flash hazards meet tough hands-on work—these gloves offer our toughest protection. They shield your hands from heat and flames during arc events and protect against sharp tools, so you don’t need to change gloves to switch between tasks. They're often used for heavy machine operation and maintenance.

All have an arc rating, which measures their ability to protect against burns; the higher the arc rating, the greater the flame resistance. Check the PPE category and minimum arc rating provided for your workplace. These gloves meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for resistance to cuts, abrasions, punctures, and heat. They also meet ANSI/ISEA 138 standards for impact resistance.

Due to import regulations, they cannot be sold to Canada.

Gloves that meet EN 388 are rated to European standards for abrasions, cuts, tears, and punctures. Those that also meet EN 407 are rated for heat resistance.
