The Portwest AP42 is a cut-resistant glove for work where sharp edges and hot surfaces come together. It suits metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive manufacturing and similar tasks involving sharp or hot materials.
A fine 15-gauge seamless liner keeps your fingers nimble and sensitive to touch. A high-temperature silicone palm coating gives a secure hold and protects against brief contact with hot items. The lightweight, breathable build suits long shifts.
