| Cut Protection Gloves & Sleeves |
| Gloves and sleeves offer superior protection and are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications. |
|
Lightweight Seamless Gloves of KEVLAR®: The protection of ultra-tough KEVLAR® brand fibre is available in this lightweight glove, which is a good choice for small-parts handling and jobs that require high dexterity and involve minor cut hazards. |
|
Medium-Weight Seamless Gloves of KEVLAR®: The most popular general-purpose work gloves, they provide maximum comfort and dexterity, and are ideal for providing cut protection in areas involving auto assembly and sheet metal handling. |
|
Dotted Gloves of KEVLAR®: The special dot coating on these gloves improves the wearer's grip. They are designed for jobs requiring enhanced gripping power, such as sheet metal without excessive oil, and tool handling. |
|
Heavyweight Seamless Gloves of KEVLAR®: These loop-in or loop-out terry gloves provide unsurpassed protection from cuts. They are more commonly used in automotive, appliance and other manufacturing areas where workers handle abrasives or sharp objects. |
|
The same performance benefits that are seen with gloves made of KEVLAR® are also found in a variety of garments. Sleeves made of KEVLAR® are the most common. They can be made from a knit tubular form or from a woven fabric of 100% KEVLAR® that is then cut and sewn.

| Chainsaw Protection |
| In chainsaw chaps or trousers, KEVLAR® brand fibres catch, fill and clog the chains of saws operating at speeds up to 3,300 feet-per-minute (16.8 meters/second.) Lightweight and flexible so they enhance ease of movement, chainsaw chaps with KEVLAR® brand fibre are the only ones specified by the U.S. Forest Service. |
|
Chainsaw Chaps: In North America, CORDURA® in the outer-shell makes these chaps comfortable to wear, with easy-care durability. Four inner layers (two woven and two felt) of KEVLAR® brand fibre are what enables these chaps to outperform other fabrics in chainsaw cut resistance. And, with chainsaw chaps of KEVLAR®, you get 50% more protection and 40% less weight compared to nylon.
