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.

Just the thing.

I use gloves like these for general protection in all manual work including gardening, comfort and fit are all great and yellow is my favourite colour. They are very hard to find in the usual retailers so I've been delighted to find them online.

What the title says. A pair of tough hard wearing gloves. Being used for fencing work, barbed wire has not punctured them yet.

Portwest leather gloves fitting
25 November 2020  | 

Some of the stitching on these gloves was too tight in places which meant they did not fit comfortably on parts of the hand. The overall effect was to reduce the size of the gloves. I do not have particularly large hands but the ‘large’ size was not really adequate. According to the size chart, it should have been.

Port west Driver Gloves
24 November 2018  | 

I am a UK National HGV Driver, I tried many gloves some are too stiff, some are too grippy - but the Portwest Classic Leather glove is the best pair i’ve have had and at under £5 what a bargain.

Grippy enough, but not too grippy, soft enabling almost full dexterity of fingers, water / fluid resistant and surprisingly warm - just perfect
