What makes DyneemaŽ unique.

The inherent properties of DyneemaŽ fiber make it one of the best choices for cut protection. DyneemaŽ fiber is a monofilament strand. When used as a yarn in knit gloves, this property enhances both abrasion and cut resistance dramatically by creating a slick surface, over which sharp-edged implements slide. This same quality increases abrasion through the same principle. Furthermore, the fit and feel of gloves made with DyneemaŽ fiber is amazing, which is why it is known as the 'Softer Strength'.

 
Common glove myth
ImageLeather is good for abrasion resistance, which is why it is used in motorcycle jackets. However, it is so low in cut resistance that even a lightweight string-knit cotton glove is more cut resistant than the average leather glove.
