Polyco Multi-Task 3 and Multi-Task 5 Work Gloves

Polyco Multi-Task 3 and Multi-Task 5 Work Gloves are innovative and multifunctional work gloves available in two different styles. Available in two different styles, they marry protection and functionality to provide a close-fitted work glove capable of rising to challenges of hard-hitting building and construction based professions.

The Multi-Task 3 variation provides partially fingerless protection which is ideal for fine mechanical handling and roofing, where tools and intricate parts are a vital part of your day-to-day professional workload. Multi-Task 5 Work Gloves are a fully-fingered option offering maximum tear protection, which makes them perfect for yard work, scaffolding and bricklaying on-site.

Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388

• EN 388: 2141X

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.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two options available, catering for those preferring fingerless and fully fingered gloves
• Fingerless style promotes natural touch, dexterity and precision
• Fully fingered style ensures the entire hand is protected
• Touchscreen functionality for use with smartphones and tablets
• Durable and robust PVC coating
• Flexible foundation fabric is comfortable and practical
• Available in five different sizes 

Which Style Is Right for Me?

Polyco Multi-Task Safety Gloves are available in two different styles to suit different users and requirements. If you are after a fully protective glove that protects the entire hand, or if you're regularly handling potentially hazardous material like jagged timber, we recommend you select the Multi-Task 5 Fully Fingered variation.

If you are a roofer, machinist or you regularly interact with intricate and tricky material like screws, tools, nails, bolts and switches, we recommend selecting the partially fingerless Multi-Task 3 style.

Partially Fingerless Multi-Task 3 Protection

Partially fingerless gloves are often referred to as framing gloves and allow the user the freedom to exert their natural touch and dexterity on objects. This is vital, as a bulky, heavier glove that uses more fabric will inhibit this due to the sheer amount of fabric covering the fingertips.

Fully Fingered All-Round Multi-Task 5 Safety

For the more handling-centric professional, there's no other option. Fully fingered safety gloves are a must when carrying out potentially dangerous handling tasks in the yard, warehouse, factory or on-site.

Guard your entire hand against a range of hazards, including abrasions, tears, cuts and puncturing.

Innovative Touchscreen Functionality

Touchscreen functionality is a must nowadays. With plans and instructions and methods of ordering and contact all becoming more and more digital, it's vital your gloves let you access whatever you require without faffing about removing your gloves every five minutes.

Polyco Multi-Task Safety Gloves use treated fingertips or an exposed thumb, index and middle finger depending on your choice of style to allow seamless use of tablets, smartphones and human machine interfaces.

Flexible and Stretchy Foundation Fabric

Manufactured in line with a close fitting design, Polyco Multi-Task Safety Gloves fit close to the hand in order to maximise dexterity and natural touch. No more fumbling over small parts, bolts, screws and nails - simply pick up intricate items with ease.

Incredible Tear Resistance

Polyco Multi-Task Gloves are accredited with the maximum level 4 tear resistance rating under EN 388. This demonstrates how durable they are in the face of potentially hazardous material, and how hardwearing the fibres that make up their outward facing coating and lining are.

Reinforced PVC Benefits

PVC is a naturally waterproof coating, making it an excellent choice for use outdoors. Protecting against large splashes of liquid and microscopic particles of moisture and sweat lingering on the glove face, PVC is brilliant when handling greasy and oily equipment and machine parts.

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.
