Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Have a look at our FAQ page.What does 18 gauge mean? What gauge are your gloves and does this matter to me?
Gauge refers to the knitting process and resultant characteristics of the glove liner. Typically the higher the gauge number, the more dense the fabric, but the fabric is also typically thinner. This means 18 gauge gloves would typically be thinner, with a denser liner than a 15 gauge glove. However, there are a number of other features and benefits apart from gauge that are helpful in choosing a glove.
Does the vitamin E and aloe vera wash out of MaxiFlex® Active™?
No they do not; you can launder MaxiFlex® Active™ and the encapsulated ingredients will not wash out, allowing you to enjoy the benefits wash, after wash, after wash.
Isn't leather better for cut protection?
Leather has traditionally been a popular material to use when cut protection was required. But this was the case, cause there were no alternatives on the market decades ago. Our CUTtech® technology platform combines and blends high performance yarns and fibres to impart different levels of cut protection with the driving philosophy to deliver high levels of comfort and wearer satisfaction. This is way ahead of the former leather gloves. These gloves were also so comfortable that there is no need to take them off for doing precision handling work.
What is the difference between ANSI and EN cut standards?
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) testing provides another way of measuring the cut perfomance of a glove. Testing differs from EN388 in the way in which testing is performed, and the performance levels do not exactly equate to each other. For example an EN388 cut level 3 may be an ANSI cut level 2.
