SIZING OF THE PENTA ARMOR 1010 ARM SLEEVE
Wearing the correct size of arm sleeve will provide the most effective level of protection. To measure the sleeve length required, measure the distance from the prominent bone in the centre of the back of the neck, across the shoulder, over the bent elbow, and down to the wrist bone.
Please refer to the table below for further information on sleeve sizing.
| Sleeve Size | Length (Inches) | Wrist Circumference (Inches) | Bicep Circumference (Inches) |
| Small (Size 7) | 16.75" | 7" | 14.75" |
| Medium (Size 8) | 18" | 8.5" | 16.5" |

| Extra Large (Size 10) | 20" | 10.75" | 20.5" |
Protection Ratings
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of garments used for safety and protection. It determines the fabrics' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring for abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a garment in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | N/A |
| Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | Level F |
Applications of the Penta Armor 1010 Arm Sleeve
Offering protection to the arm whilst carrying out physical tasks, the Penta Armor 1010 Arm Sleeve is suitable for multiple purposes, including:
Cut-Resistant Material
The Penta Armor 1010 Arm Sleeve is made from SuperFabric brand materials. This fabric provides industry-leading cut resistance, meaning the sleeve is ideal for anybody looking for high protection against cuts when working with wires, metal, wood, and glass.
Incredible Level F Resistance
Every year millions are spent on covering hospital and medical fees resulting from avoidable cut related workplace accidents. Level F resistance means a sharp blade would have to exert over 30 newtons of downward force to cause fabric damage to this sleeve. That's the difference between serious, life threatening injury and a blade getting jammed in between strong, resistant fibres.
High Visibility
The Arm Sleeve features a high-visibility colour scheme. The bright green hi-vis material allows the sleeve to be more easily seen, making it more practical for use in darker environments. This will help to eliminate the risk of receiving cuts and abrasions when handling sharp objects.
Launderable and Breathable
Washing your sleeve after use couldn't be easier. Simply machine wash on a cool water cycle for use over and over again. We recommend you turn the sleeve inside out to avoid damage to your drier/washing machine.

How Securely Does a HexArmor Sleeve Fit?
The Penta Armor 1010 Arm Sleeve is designed to fit securely on the arm. When the correct size is worn, it is unlikely to fall or slip down the arm. It features a thumb loop and sleeve clip to help keep the arm guard in place, making it a safer and more secure option for wearing when handling potentially dangerous objects.

What is EN 388?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.
There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.
How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?
Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.
Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
