what is the resistance of the tg1260 Gloves?
We believe these gloves are excellent for handling tools and getting the job done - but don't just take our word for it. These gloves are back by a regulatory body, adhering to EN 388 (mechanical protection). See below for further details:
EN 388
Property | Resistance Level |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | Level A |
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This means that the TraffiGlove Gloves offer both an outstanding level of abrasion resistance, which can protect the hands against knocks and scrapes, and an equally formidable tear resistance, which means these are some pretty durable gloves. They do, however, offer lower cut-resistance, meaning that you won't want to wear the gloves in higher risk settings where the risk of cuts is present.
THE TRAFFISafe SYSTEM - SAFETY LEVEL AT A GLANCE
TraffiGlove pride themselves on being the original inventors of the colour coded safety glove system. The TraffiSafe system makes it easy to identify the level of cut protection required, based on the EN 388 test for cut resistance, even at a glance or from a distance.
Colour | Rate of Cut Protection | Description of Protection |
RED | Low | Suitable for lower cut risk tasks only, such as general product handling, warehouse and assembly line work and some low risk construction jobs. They're a good choice for visitors on site. |
AMBER | Medium | Ideal for second fix construction, mechanical and electrical trades, steel fixing and handling materials with sharp edges. The gloves are finished with a variety of coatings. |
GREEN | High | The best choice for higher cut risk tasks like applying cladding, demolition, steel fabrication and handling glass or sheet metal with cut edges. They also provide higher levels of protection when dealing with unknown risks, such as in the waste and recycling industries. |
key features
The TG1260 Gloves are designed with a number of key features that make them the perfect workwear gloves:

How warm are these gloves?
These Gloves are lightweight but surprisingly dense, allowing for an impressive level of heat retention. Not only are the gloves ample in fit but they are compact enough to feel your hands are safe and secure.
Are they good for handling
The TG1260 Gloves are fantastic for handling blunt objects (anything sharp is a no go). Their compact and dense design is only complemented by their room for activity. Stretch your fingers and hold objects with ease without fear of abrasions or tears.
What Size Should I Choose?
The TG1260 are available in three different sizes, meaning that you should be able to find the size that's right for you. To measure your hand, measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together as seen in the image below.
Size | Circumference (mm) | Length (mm) | Min. Length of Gloves (mm) |
Size 7 | 178mm | 171mm | 230mm |
Size 8 | 203mm | 182mm | 240mm |
Size 9 | 229mm | 192mm | 250mm |
Size 10 | 254mm | 204mm | 260mm |
Please note these gloves are designed to have a close fit. You may wish to select a size above your usual size if you prefer a looser fit.

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.
