Classification of the Tornado Olba Gloves

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

  • EN 388: 4121X

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

Hazard Resistance Level
Abrasion Resistance Level 4
Cut Resistance Level 1
Tear Resistance Level 2
Puncture Resistance Level 1
ISO Cut Resistance N/A

Suitable Environments and Applications for Use

Tornado OLB1 Work Gloves are incredibly versatile thanks to their robust protection and foam nitrile coating. We love them in a range of environments and situations, including:

  • Agriculture
  • Assembly
  • Automotive
  • Electronics
  • Engineering
  • Fitting
  • Gas
  • Horticulture
  • Oil
  • Recycling and Waste
  • Utilities

Perfect for Mechanics and Automotive Professionals

Foam nitrile is the number one coating when working with grease, grime, lubricants and oil. The technology in the coating works to "suck up" and absorb microscopic droplets of liquid that linger on the glove face, establishing a solid, strong and stable grip when working with slippery substances.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Foam nitrile is excellent when handling greasy and oily material
  • Perfect for mechanics and automotive professionals
  • Flexible knit wrist is soft and comfortable
  • Maximum level 4 abrasion-resistance rating
  • Slender and sleek design contours to the natural shape of your hand
  • Dually great for operating power tools, equipment and machinery
  • Stylish black and red design

Excellent Dexterity and Grip

Tornado Olba OLB1 Gloves have been designed to combine dexterity and grip in environments where grease, oil and grime conspire to make manual handling difficult. Their foam nitrile coating provide the fingers with a sleek and slender barrier against slippery substrates to improve both comfort and performance.

Soft and Comfortable Fit

Tornado Foam Nitrile Work Gloves are constructed using a seamless lightweight nylon-blended bi-polymer coating. This sounds technical but it's actually very simple and highly effective. All it means is that the foundation fabric used to make them is kind on sensitive skin, and that the antibacterial technology used to make it reduces the chance of eczema and dermatitis flareups.

What's So Special About Foam Nitrile?

Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating that's three times more puncture resistant than rubber. Unparalleled when working around liquids, foam nitrile prevents slips and drops by behaving like a sponge and creating a suction cup effect which leaves the user able to grip tightly onto whatever it is they're lifting.

Soft and Flexible Knit Wrist

A flexible wrist cuff is vital when you're wearing gloves for long periods and especially if your work or application involves manual handling. Fatigue, repetitive strain injury and tired wrists can come on quickly if your wrist isn't correctly supported, or if it isn't allowed to flex and move naturally.

Tornado Olba Industrial Safety Gloves cradle the wrist, allowing it to move and bend freely. This knitted wrist cuff sits snugly against the wrist, which also prevents dirt, grime, dust and debris from entering the glove.

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.

The best gloves ever
01 November 2020  | 

I use these on my allotment. They are the best - other gloves always wear out on the fingers but these are tough and at the same time flexible enough to do fiddly things too... good for working in wet conditions as well and mucking about in wet trenches.
The service of this company is brilliant too - simple and straightforward to order and the gloves arrived quickly .
Excellent value for money
