Cut Resistant » Stainless Steel Gloves

Mail was invented some time in the mid 1st millennium BC, and it is still used today in items like gloves, because it provides the maximum protection against slashing cuts that can occur during meat and poultry processing. Superior offers two types of stainless steel gloves for applications involving extreme cut harard: mail and heavy-duty steel staples.

In fact, stainless steel gloves are so effective, they are used by the Armed Forces for handling barbed and razor wire.

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.
