Frequently Asked Questions

Cut resistant gloves are rated on the ANSI scale from A1 through A9, where a higher number means the material withstands more force before the blade cuts through. A1 to A3 covers general handling and light material work, A4 to A6 suits glass, sheet metal, and sharp-edged stock, and A7 and above is for heavy blade exposure. Higher levels are stiffer and less dexterous, so buy to the hazard rather than reaching for the highest number available.
Snug across the palm with no loose material bunching at the fingertips, since a glove that slides is both less precise and more likely to catch in moving equipment. You should be able to make a full fist without the glove pulling tight across the knuckles. Leather gloves relax slightly with wear, so a new pair that feels firm rather than tight is usually correct.
Leather takes abrasion and heat better and molds to your hand over time, which makes it the choice for handling rough material, welding-adjacent work, and anything that chews through fabric. Synthetic gloves are lighter, more dexterous, and usually cheaper to replace, which suits assembly, general utility, and tasks needing fine control. Many of the gloves here combine both, using leather at the palm and synthetic across the back.
The Ironclad Pro Touch is built with conductive material at the fingertips so you can use a phone or tablet without pulling the glove off. It is worth having on any job where you are checking prints, scanning inventory, or taking calls throughout the day, since repeatedly removing a glove is how most people end up not wearing one.
Most synthetic and fabric-backed gloves can be washed cool and air dried, which extends their life considerably. Leather gloves should not go through a washing machine, since the heat and detergent strip the oils and leave them stiff and cracked. Wipe leather clean, let it dry away from heat, and condition it occasionally the same way you would a boot.
