Portwest AC01 Blade Cut Resistant Chainmail Glove

If you work in a fast-paced food processing setting, you know the importance of protecting your hands from potentially nasty cuts and incisions. The Portwest AC01 Blade Cut Resistant Chainmail Glove offers a far higher level of protection than a standard fabric glove. Manufactured with grease, oil and fat resistant stainless steel, blades have a much lower chance of entering through the tightknit metal, meaning that your hands are protected in the event of a slip or accident.

What's Included?

• 1 x Chainmail glove

This glove is ambidextrous, meaning it will fit both the left or right hand. Please note that this product is sold as a single glove, not a pair. 

Which Size Is Right For Me?

Finding the right size for you couldn't be easier. Simply measure the length, circumference and width of your hand (ignoring the thumb area) as demonstrated in this diagram below. When you have your measurements, simply consult the sizing chart beneath to find the right size for you. In the event that your measurement falls on a sizing boundary, we recommend you select a size up for optimum comfort and dexterity.

Blade Cut Protection

Portwest AC01 Gloves are EN1082-1 European Standard certified for use with hand knives. They are made with high-quality, stainless steel chainmail, making them incredibly cut and blade resistant. Chainmail is a series of metal rings locked together to form a protective sheet.

The AC01 Gloves are made from high-quality chainmail

As metal does not bend or tear like fabric does, chainmail protects against punctures, cuts and incisions by blocking the tip of a sharp implement before it can get close enough to pierce the skin. This makes them the optimum hand-wear in abattoirs, food preparation environments and blade handling settings.

How Hygienic Is Stainless Steel?
