Turtleskin Utility Safety Gloves
The Turtleskin Utility Safety Gloves are the perfect choice for tasks that require enhanced dexterity and an excellent grip whilst still providing protection and remaining cut and puncture resistant. With a black leather palm and fingers and 100% Aramid Turtleskin protection bonded to the inside, the gloves provide the user with peace of mind when handling dangerous and sharp objects. The gloves are supplied in pairs.
Patented Turtleskin Material
Light, breathable and almost impenetrable, the Turtleskin fabric has the world's tightest weave and is so diverse and strong that it has been used by everyone from law enforcement, to the military, to NASA.
Features Aramid Fibre
Aramid material is weaved tight to provide superior protection from sharp objects including metal shards, needlesticks, knives and glass fragments. This tight weave prevents lateral fibre and inter-fibre shifting. For additional cut and puncture protection, the Turtleskin Utility Safety Gloves have a palm side Aramid lining.

How Turtleskin Tests Puncture Resistance
Turtleskin use a 28 Gauge needle to test the resistance of their glove range. The needle is aimed at the glove at a 90 degree angle, at a velocity of 500mm/min. This is repeated 12 times and the average force required to puncture the glove is then recorded.
