Mechanical Properties

The Cutter CW400 Gloves are certified for use with chainsaws, meeting EN 381-7, allowing you to use them with chainsaws that reach speeds of 16 m/s. However, they are also tested to EN 388, and there results can be seen below.

How Easy Are the Chainsaw Gloves to Garden In?

Gardening requires comfort, protection and flexibility. These gloves provide all, with an elasticated wrist that offers a snug fit, and double stitching that ensures exceptional dexterity. This level of dexterity allows you to handle tools like strimmers and chainsaws without too much risk of dropping them.

The gloves also provide a strong level of protection. This means that if you have to handle shrubbery that you've cut off with your chainsaw, then your hands will stay protected against the sharp twigs and pricks.

What Do the CW400 Cutter Gloves Feel Like to Wear?

Another must have for working in the garden is comfort. The elasticated wrist ensures that the fit is tight and snug, preventing movement in the gloves which could cause an injury while using chainsaws. The cow grain leather is smooth and comfortable to wear too, while the flexibility provided by the double stitching reduces levels of hand fatigue while you're working.

How Durable Are the Cutter Chainsaw Gloves?

Finally, using chainsaws requires a high level of durability as you're likely working with tough shrubbery. The cow grain leather palms, waterproof Cordura and double stitching all work together to provide an excellent level of longevity that shouldn't become damaged when handling sharp items. You can use these gloves all summer to the next without damage.

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.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
