UCi WGR Red Oil-Grip Heat-Resistant Welding Gauntlets

Welding can be a dangerous job, and so ensuring you have fully functional and top-quality protection like the UCi WGR Red Oil-Grip Heat-Resistant Welding Gauntlets is crucial. These bright red gauntlet-style gloves provide protection from things like small splashes of molten metal and open flames, as well as offering excellent grip on oily components to minimise the risk of slippage. For enhanced durability and a prolonged glove life-span, the seams of these gauntlets are partially welded.

What's Included?

• 1 x Pair of Gloves

Will These Welding Gauntlets Fit My Hands?

The gauntlet-style gloves are supplied in an extra large, or size 11, and should be suitable for most adult users. To discover if this size is suitable for your hands, start by measuring the length of your hand and the circumference of your palm at the knuckle (as seen below). Once you have these measurements, compare them to the sizing table to find out if these gloves will be a good fit.

Who Can Use These Heat-Resistant Gloves?

These heat-resistant red gloves are designed for optimal protection in hot environments, and when working with hot components. They are ideal for:

• Welding
• Forestry
• Agriculture

How Can These Oil-Grip Gloves Protect My Hands?

The WGR Welders Gloves are designed with a range of safety features to ensure that your hands are kept safe and secure and high-risk environments, including:

• Abrasion-resistance enables secure handling of coarse and rough materials
• High level 'burning behaviour' helps to protect your hands around open flames
• Level 1 contact heat protection allows brief, intermittent contact with materials up to 100°C
• Protects your skin against small splashes of molten metal

Testing to European Standards

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.
