ECX Video - ECX Cut Resistance Challenge

Superior's Emerald CX: Engineered cut protection made with Kevlar®.

Emerald CX is Superior Glove's engineered blend of super-strong materials, combining some of the strongest fibres known to man. In fact, some of our gloves reach cut levels higher than CE 5/ASTM 4. (Compare that with a standard-weight Kevlar® glove, which scores an ASTM Level 2.)

Watch the following video, featuring our ECX cut-resistance challenge, to see how they compare with other gloves. Then, test them in your own demanding applications: you'll discover that the best thing about our ECX gloves is just how comfortable they are, especially considering you're wearing a quarter-mile of steel on your hands!
 
Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
