The Portwest A780 is a multi-hazard glove for electrical maintenance, utilities and industrial work where arc flash, flame and cut risks occur together. It is made for work around live electrical systems and heat sources.
The fine 13-gauge knitted liner keeps the hand nimble for precise tasks. The coated palm gives a secure hold on tools and components, even in challenging conditions.
