Skytec Eco Copper Recycled Polyester Heat Resistant Grip Gloves
The Skytec Eco Copper Recycled Polyester Heat Resistant Grip Gloves are a great choice for those who want safety gloves offering a good level of protection and an eco-conscious design. As well as a durable recycled polyester liner, the coat of these gloves is a natural latex option that's highly effective and better for the environment than crinkle-latex coated options. For enhanced safety, the gloves offer improved grip on wet and dry materials, and protection from brief handling of materials up to 100°C.
What's Included?
Which Size Is Right For My Hands?
The Skytec Eco Copper gloves are available in four different sizes. To make sure you choose the right size, measure the length of your hand and the circumference of your palm at the knuckle, excluding the thumb (as seen below). Once you have these measurements, compare them to the below sizing table to determine your glove size.
| Size | Palm Circumference | Hand Length |
| Size 7 | 178mm | 171mm |
| Size 8 | 203mm | 182mm |
| Size 9 | 229mm | 192mm |
| Size 10 | 254mm | 204mm |
How Can the Recycled Polyester Gloves Protect My Hands?
These eco-friendly gloves are a great choice for offering basic levels of mechanical protection in lower-risk environments, and minimising the risk of hazardous accidents. Safety features of these gloves include:
- Level 1 contact heat resistance for secure handling of hot materials up to 100ºC (for 15 seconds max.)
- Suction-cup surface pattern improves grip on wet and dry materials for reduced risk of slippage
- Tactile and dexterous design enables ease-of-movement

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.

What is EN 407?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 407. 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 407. EN 407 stands for Protective Gloves Against Thermal Risks, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to burns, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat and small and large splashes of molten metal.
How Do I read the EN 407 Score?
Reading your EN 407 score is simple, as each hazard will be provided with a score between Level 0 and Level 4. Level 0 means the gloves failed against that particular hazard, and Level 4 means that they provide the best protection possible against that hazard.
