Choosing the Right Material for Hand Protection
Selecting the right size is only half the battle. You must also choose the correct material for your specific tasks:
- Nitrile Coated: Best for oily environments and chemical resistance.
- PU Coated: Ideal for precision work and electronic assembly due to high dexterity.
- Cut-Resistant (HPPE/Dyneema): Essential for handling sharp objects like glass or metal sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What if I am between two sizes?
A: We recommend choosing the larger size for better comfort and to prevent hand fatigue during long shifts.
Q: Does material affect glove sizing?
A: Yes. PU gloves are typically more stretchy, while Cut-resistant level 5 gloves are thicker and may feel tighter. Always consult our specific size chart before ordering.
