Protection RAtings and Standards Of HexArmor 360 Gloves

EN 388

• EN 388: 4X21F

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.

The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.

Level F Cut Resistance Rating

Level F is the highest rating awarded under EN 388. It is a rating only given to the most protective safety gloves out there. A Level F rating indicates that a glove can withstand in excess of an incredible 30 newtons of downward force applied by a sharp implement.

So What Does This Mean?

To put it bluntly, Level F resistance is what stops your hand getting cut to pieces. Fabric with a Level F rating works to jam a blade tip in place before it reaches the skin. If you're wearing a Level F glove, a machine part, blade tip or piece of metal will jam between the highly resistant fibres that make up your glove or garment, preventing serious injury.

SuperFabric Protection System

Serious about heavy-duty protection, SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution for preventing needle and knife incisions. It is the layer that prevents a serrated edge, needle or blade end from breaking through your glove and causing serious injury to your hand.

360° of Protection

Most safety gloves provide protection at one area of the hand, leaving the rest of it exposed to danger. HexArmor 360 Safety Gloves use a cut-resistant lining across the entire glove, providing safety against an increased range of potential workplace hazards.

TP-X Palm Coating

Losing a grip on it all? A TP-X coating is one of the best grip enhancement palm coatings in the industry. Excelling in both wet and dry applications and environments, a TP-X coating provides the ultimate in durability, stability and longevity.

Adjustable Velcro Wrist Cuff

A traditional knit wrist cuff is a take it or leave it style design. If it doesn't fit or if it doesn't sit quite right against your wrist, hard luck. HexArmor understand that everyone's hands are different. An adjustable Velcro wrist cuff allows the user to customise their fit depending on application and preference.

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.
