Main Features of the Polyco Imola Drivers Style Safety Gloves

The Materials - The Polyco Imola Drivers Style Safety Gloves are engineered and made with a full micro-foam nitrile coating and fleecy liner inside. The glove is designed to look and feel like a conventional leather glove but with all the added protective and thermal properties of a safety glove.

Grip - The grip of the the Imola Safety Gloves is classed as medium, and has excellent dry grip properties. The micro-foam coating offers good wet grip by channelling liquids away from the glove material.

properties, delivering excellent abrasion resistance, for optimum durability and longevity. The added feature of an adjustable Velcro wrist strap provides a secure fit and helps to keep the hands free from dust and debris.

Testing - The Imola Drivers Style Safety Gloves are a Certified Safety Glove, scoring a 4131 in testing. The gloves perform well according to CE standards in abrasion, tear and cut resistance testing. See below for a breakdown of this testing.

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.
