What Kind Of Protection Do These Gloves Offer?

For a glove of their price, the Skytec Basalt R Black PU gloves feature excellent tear and abrasion resistance. Not only does this allow them to protect hands from scrapes and grazes during work, it also makes them exceptionally hard-wearing, for long lasting workplace hand protection. They also feature some puncture and cut resistance, but not enough to be appropriate if these are particular risks.

What Are These Gloves Made From?

The nylon liner of these gloves is constructed with a seamless design to help guarantee their wearer's comfort even over long periods of use. They are palm-dipped in a polyurethane coating to achieve good levels of mechanical resistance. At the same time they feature a highly breathable back and elasticated grip, which double up to achieve an excellent fit without allowing the hands to become stuffy or sweaty.

What Conditions Are These Gloves Appropriate for?

These gloves perform best in dry conditions. They are not designed to be used in significantly wet conditions.

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.

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.
