CATU CG-981 Leather Overgloves for Low-Voltage Electrical Gloves
When you're working with electricity, there is nothing more important than making sure that you have the right protective equipment. The CATU CG-981 Leather Overgloves for Low-Voltage Electrical Gloves provide a higher level of protection to your rubber electrician's gloves and also provide you with added protection against flames and heat.
What's Included?
- 1 x Pair of Leather Overgloves
Please Note: This product is pictured alongside rubber electrical-resistant gloves for the sake of demonstration; the electrician's rubber gloves are not included.
Which Size Is Right for Me?
To find the perfect size for your needs, please measure the circumference and length of your hands as indicated in the chart below. Once you have your measurements, please match your results to the table to find the best size for your needs.
For the most comfortable fit, we recommend choosing the same size glove as the gloves with which you are looking to use the CATU CG-981 Gloves.
| Size | Palm Circumference | Hand Length |
| Size 8 | 203mm | 182mm |
| Size 9 | 229mm | 192mm |
| Size 10 | 254mm | 204mm |
| Size 11 | 279mm | 215mm |
How Long Are the CATU CG-981 Gauntlet Gloves?
Similarly to most electrician's gloves, the CATU Leather Overgloves have a longer design that is designed to offer protection to the wrists and forearms as well as the hands. Please see below for the length of each available size:
- Size 8: 295mm
- Size 9: 305mm
- Size 10: 315mm
- Size 11: 325mm
Which Gloves Can the CATU Electricians' Overgloves Be Used With?
The CATU CG-981 Overgloves have been designed for use as a protective outer-layer for use when you are using low-voltage electrical-resistant gloves. They are suitable for use with both Class 0 and Class 00 electricians' gloves (i.e. gloves protecting up to 1000V).
We recommend these gloves specifically for use with the following CATU products:
How Do These Gloves Protect Your Hands?
While natural rubber gloves can provide an excellent level of protection when working with electricity, they are prone to becoming worn or damaged, leaving you needing a replacement. The CATU Leather Gauntlet Gloves can be worn over your rubber electricians' gloves to provide your electrically-insulated gloves with greater longevity.

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 407?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 407. 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 407. EN 407 stands for Protective Gloves Against Thermal Risks, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to burns, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat and small and large splashes of molten metal.
How Do I read the EN 407 Score?
Reading your EN 407 score is simple, as each hazard will be provided with a score between Level 0 and Level 4. Level 0 means the gloves failed against that particular hazard, and Level 4 means that they provide the best protection possible against that hazard.
