Portwest A290 Oak Padded Leather Chainsaw Gloves (Class 0 Protection)

Working with heavy-duty equipment like chainsaws can be risky, especially if you're not using the correct safety equipment. The Portwest A290 Oak Padded Leather Chainsaw Gloves (Class 0 Protection) are great for offering chainsaw protection from blade speeds of up to 16m/s. Though only the left glove offers chainsaw protection, both gloves are constructed from a durable leather with a reinforced palm, and padded knuckles for some additional protection.

Please Note: Though these gloves are supplied as a pair, it is only the left glove that meets European Standards for Class 0 chainsaw protection.

How Can These Gloves Protect My Hands?

These gloves are ideal for right-handed users, as it is only the left glove that provides chainsaw protection. This means that when holding the chainsaw with your right hand, your left hand is secure from chainsaw blade speeds of up to 16m/s.

Which Size Gloves should I Wear?

These protective chainsaw gloves are available in two sizes which should be suitable for most adult users. To discover which of these sizes is best for you, start by measuring the length of your hand and the circumference of your palm at the knuckle (as seen below). Then, compare these measurements to the sizing table to see which glove size is best for your hands.

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.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
