PORTWEST A748 - Impact Goat Leather Thermal Cut Glove A6 White

Product Overview

The Portwest A748 Impact Goat Leather Thermal Cut Glove is a premium, multi-hazard safety glove designed for heavy-duty industrial work in freezing conditions. Combining the classic, supple feel of a traditional leather driver with cutting-edge textile engineering, the A748 shields hands against severe cuts, crush impacts, high heat, and extreme cold simultaneously.

Built from high-grade Goat Grain Leather, these gloves maintain exceptional flexibility and a reliable natural grip in dry, wet, or oily conditions—even when temperatures drop below freezing. Inside, a high-performance composite knit defense liner pairs with an insulating thermal wrap to deliver all-day warmth and certified ANSI Cut Level A6 protection.

Why Choose the Portwest A748?

1. Superior Multi-Layer Cut Protection (ANSI A6)

The interior safety matrix is woven from an advanced blend of Steel, Aramid, and high-performance polyethylenes (HPPE). This tight composite liner creates a highly cut-resistant barrier rated to ANSI Cut Level A6, preventing sharp-edge lacerations during heavy equipment handling, rigging, and metal fabrication.

2. High-Velocity Thermo-Plastic Rubber (TPR) Impact Defense

Designed specifically for high-risk pinch points, the back of the hand is fortified with heavy-duty TPR padding. This specialized impact protection shields the knuckles and fingers from blunt force, falling objects, and crush injuries without stiffening the glove or reducing finger dexterity.

3. Dual Heat & Sub-Zero Cold Resistance

Engineered with a thermal insulating textile lining, the A748 keeps blood circulating and hands working efficiently in cold storage, winter construction, and harsh offshore environments. Additionally, the advanced fiber composition provides contact heat protection up to 480°F, safeguarding workers from accidental thermal burns.

4. Rugged Comfort & Keystone Thumb Design

Cheap leather stiffens and cracks; premium goat grain leather naturally resists abrasions while staying soft over extended use. The ergonomic keystone thumb construction follows the hand's natural resting shape to eliminate seam pressure points and drastically reduce hand fatigue during long shifts.
