Protection Ratings for HexArmor 5033 Driving Safety Gloves

EN 388

• 4X33F

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

EN 407

• X1XXXX

EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:

Driving Comfort Forward

Driver's Gloves are designed to provide long-distance and frequent drivers with some relief from the strain placed upon the hands when operating a vehicle for extended periods. The fabric provides a comforting and supportive grip that dually prevents the skin from coming into direct contact with hard and abrasive surfaces. 

SuperFabric Protection

Serious about heavy-duty protection, SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution for preventing needle and knife incisions. It is the layer that prevents a serrated edge, needle or blade end from breaking through your glove and causing serious injury to your hand.

Incredible Level F Cut Resistance Rating

Level F cut-resistance is the difference between abrasive cargo like metal and timber causing serious damage to your hands and it simply getting lodged between the tight, cut-resistant fibres that make up HexArmor Driving Gloves.

Goatskin Leather Benefits

Goatskin is widely recognised as one of the most durable, resilient leathers. It is also more lightweight than standard leather, making it perfect for gloves. Goatskin leather is naturally waterproof, meaning it requires no extra treatment to keep condensation and water away from your hands. It also insulates amazingly, trapping more heat than any other leather.

Knuckle Protection

Providing extra support for the knuckle area, HexArmor Driving Gloves include a knuckle patch that is resistant to both cuts and abrasions. Particularly useful for HGV and haulage drivers, any incidental bumps or other impact occur are prevented from causing serious injury.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
