BENEFITS OF THE TEGERA 255 Heat and Cut Resistant Leather Glove

This model is aimed at jobs where there is frequent contact with edges and sharp parts, but sensitivity is also needed for screwing, assembling, or handling components. The combination of goat grain leather and a full KEVLAR® lining provides protection against mechanical risks and a feeling of a "whole" glove (without unlined areas), maintaining a stable fit thanks to the elastic at the wrist.

USES AND APPLICATIONS: WHAT JOB IS IT SUITABLE FOR

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TEGERA 255 Heat and Cut Resistant Leather Glove

What does level C cut resistance mean in daily use?

It indicates that the glove has passed a level of cut resistance measured with the ISO 13997 method. It is designed for work with a regular presence of edges or parts that can cause cuts, while maintaining a level of dexterity suitable for assembly.

Does the glove have a lining all over the hand or just on the palm?

It has a full lining and is completely lined with KEVLAR® fiber, providing more uniform protection and a consistent glove feel during handling.

How do I choose the right size to avoid losing dexterity?

For assembly tasks, it is advisable that the glove fits well on the fingers and palm without excessive looseness. If you are unsure between two sizes, it usually helps to prioritize a firm fit at the fingertips and ensure that the wrist elastic remains stable without being too tight.
