Skytec Amber Digit Fingerless Cut Resistant Gloves
The Skytec Amber Digit Fingerless Cut Resistant Gloves are durable work gloves with uniformly high EN388 mechanical resistance ratings. They include a fingerless design on the thumbs, index and middle fingers, making them ideal for any application that needs touch sensitivity or precise manipulation from the fingertips.
What Kind Of Protection Do These Gloves Offer?
With exceptional tear and abrasion resistance, these gloves are hard wearing for any general handling application. They also include a moderate level of cut resistance for applications in which there is some risk of encountering sharp edges and a good level of puncture resistance. Of course, since these gloves include fingerless thumbs, index and middle fingers, they cannot offer protection to these areas.
What Is the Construction of these gloves?
The body of the Skytec Amber Fingerless Gloves is machine knitted from HPPE fibres, which have been blended with other synthetic palms for excellent abrasion and tear resistance. They are Polyurethane palm-dipped, offering a high level of grip and cut resistance on the palms and fingers. These gloves also feature a fingerless design on the thumbs, index and middle fingers, which is ideal for any applications in which you need fingertip contact.
What Conditions are these gloves Appropriate for Use In?
These gloves maintain firm grip in dry and light oily conditions. This makes them appropriate for a range of automotive and assembly applications.
Features of the Skytec Amber Fingerless Gloves
In order to offer touch and dexterity alongside robust protection, these gloves feature the following:
- Level 3 cut resistance – protects hands in a range of applications involving sharps
- Open finger design – on the thumb and two forefingers allows for added fingertip dexterity, touch and precision
- Robust liner – which maintains high levels of protection against abrasion and tears
- Smart phone compatibility – due to fingerless design allows for quick access to touch screen devices on site
- Trademark Sanitized finish – has antimicrobial qualities to maintain freshness within the glove
- Elasticated wrist – ensures a firm and comfortable fit to a variety of hands
- Tricolore amber colour coding – is easily visible and helps to identify gloves quickly on sight
What Is the Tricolore Colour Coding System?
Skytec utilise a standardised colour coding system to help you select appropriate levels of cut resistance quickly and easily on site. The system is as follows:
- Red gloves: level 1 cut resistance
- Amber gloves: level 3 cut resistance
- Green gloves: level 5 cut resistance
These amber gloves are appropriate for work where you might need some cut resistance on the non-exposed areas of the hand, but cut level 5 green gloves would be more appropriate for working with blades directly.
Are These Gloves Latex Free?
These gloves use a Polyurethane palm-dip. This makes them latex free and allows those with latex allergies to wear these gloves without discomfort.
