String Knit Kevlar® Steel Mesh Leather Palm Cut Resistant Work Gloves

Our popular ‘Action’ string knit Kevlar® gloves with split leather palms have become an industry standard for cut resistance and durability. So, we’ve been developing and testing something to take that lineup to the next level. Introducing the SKLPSMT: unbelievably strong performance, in the three most vital areas of protection: Abrasion, Cut and Puncture, with EIGHT layers of fine stainless-steel mesh between the leather and the Kevlar® knit in the most critical areas: the thumb, first two fingers and the crotch. A single layer of mesh is in between the entire leather palm and shell. Testing done on these gloves for abrasion reached 10,000 cycles without reaching failure. On the palm area, 7.16 kilos of force were applied before they would puncture, and on the thumb and first two fingertips, it took up to 12.85 kilos of force. Cut resistance is where these gloves are truly off the charts - the thumb, first two finger-tips and thumb crotch are an incredible - and unheard of - over 21,000 grams of cutting force. To acheive a Cut Level of 5, a glove must score 3500 grams. For the palm, we achieved a very high Cut Level 4, with a 3400 gram test result. We are so far off the scale, we even amazed ourselves. And so, we call it the TRIPLE PLAY.

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.
