Resistance Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut-resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
Standard | Resistance Rating |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 3 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |

Lightweight and Slender Construction
A lightweight construction means the glove fits close to the hand and palm. This gives the user a great deal of control over whatever it is they're carrying.
The lack of any excess padding is great for individuals who prefer a closer, tight fit.
Perfect Gloves for Warehouse Use
Slender and lightweight, Portwest DermiFlex Work Gloves are perfect for applications where boxes, parcels, material and products are being handled at a fast pace. This is because their close fit maximises the amount of natural touch, accuracy and purchase you can get on an object.
What Are the Benefits of a Nitrile Coating?
Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating. It is unparalleled when working around liquids as it works to absorb and suck up water and oil, preventing slips and drops. It behaves like a sponge, creating a suction cup effect which leaves the user able to grip tightly onto whatever it is they're lifting. Foam nitrile is also three times more puncture resistant than rubber.
Three Quarter Length Coated for Breathability
Breathability matters when you're working long hours in a fast paced environment. If you're concerned about sweat, perspiration and overheating, look no further.
Portwest DermiFlex Work Gloves use a 3/4 length coating to leave the backside of the glove partially exposed. This allows heat, sweat and perspiration to exit the glove naturally, preventing the onset of irritation, eczema, dermatitis and rashes developing.
Low-Linting Construction
Low-linting gloves are specifically designed for product handling in warehouses and factories, where contamination can cause spoilage. Portwest DermiFlex Ultra Gloves do not shed lint, particles or fabric easily, making them great for precise and technical handling applications.
PROVIDES COMFORT AND FLEXIBILITY WHEN HANDLING
The Portwest A352 DermiFlex Nitrile Foam Gloves use a nylon and elastane liner to provide exceptional flexibility, making them ideal for giving the user total control when handling materials. The gloves also provide comfort with a seamless, breathable knitted liner that is ideal for handling, guaranteeing excellent performance over extended periods of time.

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.
