Contego Protectio Hi-Vis Impact Gloves, Medium (COIMPMECHOY000M)

The Contego Protectio hi-vis glove has a 0.8 mm breathable synthetic leather palm with neoprene padding, silicon grip for wet and dry conditions, and raised TPR on the fingers and knuckles to reduce impacts, scrapes and pinches. Contego's data sheet lists hi-vis colour and piping for day and low light visibility, perforated fourchettes, a neoprene cuff with a hook and loop closure, four way stretch spandex, and an ID tag (manufacturer-stated). The glove is orange and yellow (AIMS record).

The data sheet is CE Category II and gives EN 388 3121, which is abrasion 3, blade cut 1, tear 2 and puncture 1 (manufacturer-stated). Blade cut level 1 is the lowest level, so this is not a cut resistant glove, and 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 automotive, shipping, power tools, construction, carpentry, mining, gardening and landscaping (manufacturer-stated). The EN 388 result (manufacturer-stated) is read in the order abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture, and a higher number is a higher level. A 0 means the glove did not reach level 1, and an X means that test was not done. 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 medium to 2X-large. Beaver packs the glove 6 pairs to a pack and 72 pairs to a carton (manufacturer-stated).
