S13FGPU - Fibreglass/Nylon Blend made w/Dyneema®, PU palm

Superior combines three really tough materials to create one amazingly cut-resistant glove that also happens to be incredibly comfortable. When high-tech fibres are added to composite yarns, the results are impressive. Fibreglass on its own is brittle, and while it scores well in some aspects of cut-resistance, does not in itself stand up well to direct cut. However, when combined with Dyneema®, brittleness is no longer an issue, as the fibreglass is now strengthened and supported by the surrounding material. Nylon added to this composite enhances toughness and wear, while the ergonomically curved hand and finger shape of the seamless knit shell provides all-day comfort. Palms are coated with tough polyurethane for grip and added durability in wet/dry or oily conditions. CFIA approved for food handling.

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.
