Cut Resistant Gloves

Our bespoke cut resistant gloves are manufactured using either Spectra® (offering BS EN 388:2003 Blade Cut Resistance Level 3) or our very own ultra high cut resistant Cut-Tex™ PRO (offering BS EN 388:2003 Blade Cut Resistance Level 5).

Cut resistant gloves are commonly used in work places, where professionals can potentially come in contact with knives, edged weapon, sharp edges, broken glass, and other dangerous tools and materials. These work places can range from prisons, high security mental health facilities and law enforcement, to metal pressing, glass handling and even ice speed skating. Wherever and whoever you are… we can help you.

Cut resistant gloves are worn to protect one's hands and keep it safe while working. This type of personal protective equipment can be manufactured in a number of different materials and cater to different jobs. A true professional should make a very careful choice when selecting cut resistant gloves, which is why we at PPSS Body Armour are very keen in creating bespoke cut resistant gloves based on our customer’s special and individual requirements.

If you are planning to buy cut resistant gloves please note the following advice you might find to be of help.

• Materials: Always check on the material used in the making of such equipment. Different materials are used for different jobs. So make sure your gear has the best material required for the job. The most commonly used material used to offer cut protection is Kevlar®. However, please note Kevlar® is offering only a fairly low blade cut protection level of 2 or 3 in rare cases. Spectra® and Dyneema® are more advanced fibres and fabrics and usually offer a blade cut resistance level 3 or 4. Our recently developed Cut-Tex™ PRO is one of the most advanced fibre combinations out there, offering the highest blade cut resistance level 5 within the BS EN 388:2003 standard.

• Padding: There are different layers of padding available for our bespoke cut resistant gloves, in order to protect your finger tips, knuckles or wrist area. Please note that you should carefully consider the amount of flexibility needed in your job. Thick padding will provide lesser flexibility, while thinner padding will provide more flexibility.

• Grip: Grip is the most important feature in cut resistant gloves, because you might be dealing with objects which are smooth and slippery, and you cannot take off your gear to handle them. This means you need to choose something which gives enough control to hold all objects you might have to handle.

• Fit: Last but not the least, proper fitting gears are very important as they are now like your hands and you need to do a lot of things with your gear on. Hence, if the glove is too loose, you will not be able to have a good grip.

It is always recommended to buy cut resistant gloves from a well trusted and capable manufacturer that sell them for specific requirements and are capable of creating and manufacturing bespoke cut resistant gloves.

Please note, accidents involving the use of sharp objects make up a significant percentage of injuries in the workplace (the exact percentage varies from industry to industry, with hospital workers and engineers being the most likely to suffer injuries of this nature).

We as a glove manufacturer are continually looking for new and ingenious combinations of materials to achieve the greatest protection possible, whilst still allowing you, the wearer, enough dexterity to perform all of your required activities.
