Protection and Resistance Ratings for Cutter CW600 Professional Gloves

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 1121

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.

EN 381-7 CHAINSAW PROTECTION

• EN 381-7: Class 0

Cuter CW600 Amara Synthetic Leather Chainsaw Gloves have also been tested to EN 381-7, which is the European standard for gauging the level of protection a glove provides against chainsaws.

How Do Chainsaw Gloves Work?

Chainsaw gloves pack the non-dominant hand with cut-resistant fabric which is capable of "jamming" the belt if contact with the hand is made. These ultra-durable fibres fly out of the glove, clogging the individual mechanisms in the belt, causing the chainsaw to come to an almost instant standstill before serious damage is done to your hand.

Dominant Left Hand Protection

Cutter CW600 Gloves feature 14 layers of state-of-the-art chainsaw specific fabric in the back of the left hand where it's needed most. This allows you to leverage the weight of the chainsaw without having to worry about causing serious injury to yourself or others around you in the event of a drop or accident.

The Perfect Option for Summer

Cutter CW600 Synthetic Leather Chainsaw Gloves are designed predominantly for use during the hot and sweaty summer months. They utilise all the benefits of the highly breathable Amara synthetic leather to relinquish all the odour, sweat and foul smells that build up when temperatures start to rise.

Reinforced PVC Patches Enhance Protection

Cutter CW600 Chainsaw Gloves further bolster the palm, thumb and fingers with ultra-durable PVC patches to prevent scuffs, scrapes and scratches ruining your hands. This also helps extend the shelf life of your gloves if picking up debris, garden waste, timber and offcuts is all part of your work.

Maximum Breathability

Breathability matters during the summer as odour, perspiration and foul smells can quickly build up inside your gloves if you're not careful. Amara leather is highly breathable, allowing cool air to pass through the fabric and onto the hand, relieving the fabric of nasty odours, smells and sweat.

Elasticated Velcro Wrist Closure

An elasticated wrist refers to the flexible and stretchy material used to bolster comfort in the wrist area of the glove. This not only helps the glove feel more comfortable during application and removal; it also prevents microscopic particles of dirt and dust entering the glove so your hands stay clean, fresh and irritation-free for longer.

What's So Special About Amara Synthetic Leather?

Amara is a synthetic leather compound frequently used in the design and manufacturing of safety gloves because of its durability and scuff-resistance. Much like other synthetic leathers, Amara has the benefit of being cruelty-free, making it an excellent option for vegans and environmentally conscious professionals.

If all this weren't enough, synthetic leathers are more resistant to stains and sun-bleaching, making them a great choice for gloves used predominantly during the summer.

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.
