The Portwest A783 is a multi-hazard glove for high-risk electrical and thermal work, including electrical maintenance, utilities, oil and gas, and industrial engineering. It combines arc flash, flame, heat, cut and cold protection in one glove, so you can keep the same pair on across a range of tasks.
A seamless 13 gauge liner is paired with a warm 10 gauge acrylic liner for work in cold conditions. The flame-resistant neoprene coated palm gives a secure grip on tools and components.
