Superior Oil Resistance, Medium Cut Protection
The C3 Gloves are designed to be a happy medium between the standard Grip It Oil Gloves and the level 5 cut-resistant Grip It Oil C5 Gloves, providing moderate (level 3) cut protection coupled with a great level of grip, even in oleaginous environments. The gloves are highly durable, and have been designed to last over multiple uses without deterioration in performance.
Dual Layer Nitrile Coating
The GIOK3 Gloves provide both dexterity and grip by utilising two layers of nitrile coating. The first layer is soft and resilient, which prevents the impediment of movement and allows you to perform tasks that require fine motor control. The second coating features sand-blasted nitrile, which provides a roughened texture for a greater level of control and grip.
Excellent Comfort
Combining a contoured design with a soft and seamless knitted liner, the Polyco C3 Gloves are designed for excellent levels of comfort with minimal hand fatigue, even after prolonged use. The wrist features a knitted cuff that provides a secure fit and helps to keep hands free from dirt and debris.

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.
