Marigold Industrial Comahot Heat-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves

The Marigold Industrial Comahot Heat-Resistant Gauntlet Gloves are long-cuffed terry loop gloves with a fire-retardant aramid outer and a comfortable 100% pure cotton inner. Providing outstanding resistance to not only contact and convective heat, but also cut and tear, the Comahot Gloves are ideal for manual handling applications involving hot materials and/or sharp-edged objects.

Features and Benefits of the Comahot Heat-Resistant Gloves

• Aramid terry loop gauntlet-style gloves
• Cotton terry loop liner for enhanced user comfort
• Excellent thermal insulation properties
• Protect against contact heat up to 350°C
• Exceptional cut and tear resistance
• Gauntlet-style cuffs shield the wrists and forearms
• Ideal for manual handling of hot or sharp-edged objects

Thermal Risk Protection

Featuring a terry loop aramid outer and gauntlet-style cuff, the Marigold Industrial Comahot Gloves provide excellent protection against thermal risks to not only the hands, but also the wrists and forearms. When tested to EN 407:2004 to determine their resistance to flame and heat, these gloves were shown to be fire-retardant, as well as protect against contact heat up to 350°C and convective heat.

Excellent Resistance to Cut and Tear

These gloves provide excellent mechanical protection, achieving the highest rating possible for cut resistance when tested to EN 388:2003 standards. During testing, the Comahot Gloves also achieved a rating of 4 out of 5 for resistance to tear, and a rating of 2 (also out of 5) for both abrasion and puncture resistance. As a result, the Comahot Gloves are suitable for many applications that require the handling of sharp materials or tools.

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.
