1. Aramid shell fabric 2. Non-woven aramid fabric 3. PORON®XRD™ 4. Porelle® membrane. 5. Aramid lining |
Inner layers:
- Aramid non-woven fabric - increases heat, abrasion and cut resistance.
- “Hidden protection” – a layer of Poron®XRD™ material increasing heat resistance and absorbing shocks. XRD technology disperses impact energy efficiently and protects back of the hand.
Moisture barrier:
- Porelle® P540 polyurethane FR membrane.
- Creates a barrier against water, chemicals, bloodborne pathogens as well as bacteria.
- The membrane is highly breathable, flexible, sensitive and firm.
Lining:
Aramid lining with increased thickness – increased heat protection, the lining will not stretch or pull out, easy donning and doffing even when wet. 6. The lining is brushed on reverse side allowing air inside the glove increasing heat protection.
Additional features and benefits:
- Advanced design and stitching techniques provide for improved dexterity and allowing the lining to stay in place by attaching it at each fingertip.
- 3D style glove – fourchettes between fingers improve flexibility, dexterity and grip.
- Breathability, sensitivity, flexibility unlike any other structural gloves available.
- Anatomical cut for perfect fit.
- Special index finger and thumb construction allow seamless grip for higher dexterity and sensitivity.

HOW TO MEASURE THE GLOVE SIZE
For selection of the proper glove size, hand shall be measured as follows:
Measure your index finger from the palm crease to the tip in millimeters and this will give you the closest numerical size.
The “size“ (number) is the length of the index finger in millimeters.
Now measure across the top of your knuckles. “N“ (normal) or “W“ (wide) is the palm width.
Find the corresponding size/width based on the chart below.
Example: Size “76N“
