Portwest A746 Cut Resistant Goat Leather Driver Gloves (ANSI A5)

Product Overview

The Portwest A746 Cut Goat Leather Glove bridges the gap between traditional comfort and high-level industrial safety. Designed for heavy-duty environments, this premium driver glove offers a classic leather look and feel while hiding a powerhouse composite liner underneath. It provides multi-hazard protection against severe cuts, punctures, and extreme contact heat without forcing workers to sacrifice tactile dexterity.

Key Performance Features & Benefits

• ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A5 Protection: Features an advanced interior liner woven from Steel, Aramid, and HPPE fibers to stop severe lacerations from metal shards, glass, and sharp machinery.

• Premium Goat Grain Leather: Crafted from top-tier goat grain leather, which is naturally softer, more pliable, and offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio than standard split cowhide.

• 480°F Contact Heat Resistance: Certified to withstand contact temperatures up to 480°F (250°C), making it a reliable safety barrier in hot material handling and metalworking.

• Ergonomic Keystone Thumb: Built with a tailored thumb design that follows the hand's natural resting position to maximize comfort and reduce hand fatigue during long shifts.

• Debris-Blocking Elasticated Cuff: Engineered with an integrated elastic wrist closure that ensures a secure, snug fit while keeping out flying sparks, grinding dust, and field debris.

• Rugged Mechanical Durability: Built to last in punishing environments, scoring an impressive ANSI Abrasion Level 4 and ANSI Puncture Level 3.

Recommended Industries & Applications

• Metal Fabrication & Stamping: Handles sharp sheet metal, rough castings, and raw steel stock safely.

• Glass Handling & Processing: Ideal for glazers, glass manufacturing plants, and window installation teams.

• Heavy Construction & Rigging: Provides the high abrasion resistance required for handling cables, ropes, and building materials.

• Oil, Gas & Utilities: Offers the tough outer shell and high dexterity needed for heavy machinery operation and field maintenance.

• Aerospace & Automotive Assembly: Allows workers to handle smaller, complex mechanical parts without stripping away necessary cut defense.

• Industrial Maintenance (MRO): A versatile, multi-hazard safety choice for facilities maintenance crews and technicians.
