How Do Portwest A505 Gauntlet Gloves Protect Your Hands?
With an extended wrist-cuff and full grain leather composition capable of protecting against burning, contact and convective heat and small splashes of molten metal, the A505 Gauntlet is essential wear for welders and factory workers involved with heated material.
Unique Split Leather Foundation Fabric
The A505 is coated with additional split leather to provide improved burn resistance. They are made with cow split leather, which is hardwearing and durable enough to provide protection against scuffs, scrapes and scratching.
Are Portwest A505 Gloves Warm?
Portwest Gauntlet Gloves are fleece lined to keep your hands warm in the coldest of settings. They also come with an extended cuff that is capable of tucking neatly under a jacket or coat wrist for protection against wind and rain when working in harsh conditions outside.
What Resistance Ratings Keep Your Hands Warm?
They have EN 511 certified as resistant to two different types of cold; convective and water permeability. Their snug, cosy design means heat is trapped and retained inside the glove. It also means that water cannot penetrate the glove. They are perfect for use in warehouses or for those working maintenance applications outside during winter.
Cowhide Leather Benefits and Properties
Portwest A505 Gloves are manufactured with split cowhide leather, which is hardwearing and durable. It retains a great degree of flexibility compared to grain leather and has a high degree of abrasion resistance. This foundation fabric is what makes A505 Gauntlets highly resistant to abrasions, scuffs, scrapes and scratches.
