Contego Blackwater Impact Gloves, 2X-Large (COBLKMECHFL02XL)

The Contego Blackwater glove is a mechanics style glove with a stretch spandex shell and fourchettes, a TPR impact strap over the fingers and knuckles with a back guard, a neoprene wrist, and thumb crotch reinforcement. Contego's data sheet lists a synthetic leather palm with reinforced textured palm pads and fingertips for grip and durability (manufacturer-stated). The glove is fluro lime (AIMS record).

Contego gives EN 388:2016 3341D on the data sheet and 3X41DP in Beaver's catalogue. Beaver's sources give different results for this glove and the lower figures are used here. That is 3X41D: abrasion 3, blade cut not tested, tear 4 and puncture 1, with a cut result of D (manufacturer-stated). No impact (P) rating is given for this glove, so the impact panels should not be relied on as a rated protection. Contego lists applications as construction, carpentry, power tool operation, heavy equipment operation, towing and transportation, landscaping and DIY home improvement (manufacturer-stated). The EN 388:2016 result (manufacturer-stated) is read in the order abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and then a cut letter from A to F. A higher number or letter is a higher level, a 0 means level 1 was not reached, and an X means that test was not done. A P at the end means the impact test was passed. Match the glove to your risk assessment, check the fit, and replace gloves that are worn, torn or contaminated. The ratings are test results on the glove material and do not describe every hazard on your site.

This listing carries small to 2X-large. Beaver packs the glove 6 pairs to a pack and 72 pairs to a carton (manufacturer-stated).
