Mechanical Resistance Of The Snickers 9578 Insulated Gloves

EN 388 Mechanical Resistance

The Snickers 9578 Insulated Gloves have been tested under EN Standards to ensure that they provide the level of protection that they say they do. They have been tested to EN 388 (mechanical resistance), and EN 511 (cold resistance). Please see the tables below to view the results these gloves achieved when tested:

• EN 388: 3111X

EN 511 cold Resistance

• EN 511: 120

What Do These Ratings Mean?

Under both EN 388 and EN 511, the scores achieved relate to how good the gloves are at resisting that hazard. As you can see, they offer good all-round resistance to cuts, tears and punctures, and outstanding resistance to abrasion.

Alternatively, the gloves offer exceptional resistance to the cold, proving suitable in temperatures that reach as low as -20°C. For more information on both of these standards please see the tabs at the top of the page.

Features and Benefits

• Thinsulate lining offers impressive resistance to the cold
• Waterproof to keeps hands dry in wet conditions
• Anti-wicking thread keeps water away from material
• Reflective fingertips offer visibility in low light conditions
• Windproof back keeps you comfortable and safe
• Reinforced knuckles offers further protection
• Elastic band at the wrist makes allows for easy donning

How Much Cold Resistance do the Snickers Insulated Weather Gloves Provide?

The Snicker Insulated Weather Gloves offer level 1 convective cold resistance and level 2 contact cold resistance, meaning that they offer protection against objects that have a temperature as low as -20°C. This cold protection makes them perfect for extreme weather outdoors, and simulated environments indoors such as in freezers or cold stores.

What Is Thinsulate?

Thinsulate insulation has very high insulation properties compare to its weight, making them perfect for use in gloves. The fine fibres that make up Thinsulate insulation, work by trapping air molecules between your hands and the outside, keeping your hands warm.

How Much Water Resistance Do the Snickers Weather Gloves Provide?

In combination with cold resistance, these gloves offer really strong resistance to water too. They're backs are waterproof and the anti-wicking thread provides extra water protection, perfect for wet weather conditions during winter.

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.

What is EN 511?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 511. 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 511. EN 511 stands for all things cold, and means that your gloves have been tested for their convective cold resistance, contact cold resistance and water permeability properties.

How Do I Read the EN 511 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score achieved the better the product will be at resisting the hazard tested. For the first two tests (convective cold resistance and contact cold resistance), the product will achieve between a Level 0 and a Level 4. The higher the score the better the resistance, with a Level 0 score meaning that it failed and an N/A score meaning that the product wasn’t tested for this hazard.

For water permeability the product will achieve either a Level 0 or a Level 1. Level 1 means that the product is waterproof, and Level 0 means that it isn't.
