what is the resistance of the tg165 Gloves?

We believe these gloves are excellent for handling tools and getting the job done - but don't just take our word for it. These gloves are back by a regulatory body, adhering to EN 388 (mechanical protection). See below for further details:

EN 388

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

This means that the TraffiGlove Gloves offer an outstanding level of tear resistance, which protects the gloves from tear and wear. They do, however, offer lower cut-resistance, meaning that you won't want to wear the gloves in higher risk settings where the risk of cuts is present. Fortunately, their resistances to abrasion and puncture are mid-weight, making these gloves a good all-round pair to have handy. 

THE TRAFFISYSTEM - SAFETY LEVEL AT A GLANCE

TraffiGlove pride themselves on being the original inventors of the colour coded safety glove system. The TraffiSystem makes it easy to identify the level of cut protection required, based on the EN 388 test for cut resistance, even at a glance or from a distance.

key features

The TG165 Gloves are designed with a number of key features that make them the perfect workwear gloves:

• Polycotton knitted inner liner keeps the hand warm and secure
• Palm is set with a dense black and sandy X-Dura Crinkle Latex coating for rugged and durable grip
• The liner is lightweight and breathable for your comfort
• The gloves are suitable for wet and dry conditions

How warm are these gloves?

These Gloves are lightweight but surprisingly dense, allowing for a good level of heat retention. They are compact enough to feel your hands are safe and secure.

Are they good for handling

The TG165 Gloves are fantastic for handling blunt objects (anything sharp is a no go). Their layered design provides them with a high tear resistance and a decent level of maneuverability, allowing for dexterous actions.

What Size should i Choose?

The TG165 are available in three different sizes, meaning that you should be able to find the size that's right for you. To measure your hand, measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together as seen in the image below.

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.

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.
