What's Included?

• 1 x Pair of Gloves

SIZING OF THE SHOWA 310 GRIP GLOVES

The Showa 310 Grip Gloves are available in a range of sizes. To identify the best fit for you, start by measuring the length of your hand, and the circumference of your palm at the knuckle, excluding your thumb (as seen below). Once you have these measurements, compare them to the below sizing table to find your glove size.

Flexible Seamless Liner

The Showa 310 Grip Gloves feature a seamless cotton/polyester lining which is flexible and non irritating.  This material protects the hand from mechanical hazards such as splinters, impact and iron filings. The seamless liner prevents irritation and the back of the glove is well ventilated, thus minimising hand perspiration.  

Grippy Latex Palm

The cotton/nylon liner is combined with a latex coated palm that offers excellent grip to both dry and moist items, is waterproof and protects against weak acids, alcohols and detergents.  The latex-coated palm also achieves protection against viruses and bacteria and is resistant to abrasion and tearing.  

Free Knuckles

The Showa 310 Grip Gloves have been designed to leave the knuckles free, allowing flexibility in the hand whilst maintaining its protection.  The gloves are held in place with elasticated cuffs.

Colour-Coded Cuffs

Each size of these gloves will feature a different cuff trim colour. This makes it easy to identify which size you are using at a glance, and improves the speed of size identification for easy selection on site.

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.
