How Do the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves Protect Your Hands?

Thanks to MaxiFlex’s ErgoTech technology, the Ultimate Gloves are lightweight for optimal dexterity, yet provide reliable protection against low to medium level risks. Their mechanical resistance can be broken down according to their EN 388 scores, which demonstrate resistance to cuts, abrasions, tears and punctures.

EN 388

• 4131A

Hazard	Level of Resistance
Abrasion Resistance	Level 4
Cut Resistance	Level 1
Tear Resistance	Level 3
Puncture Resistance	Level 1
Blade Cut Resistance	Level A

What Does This Mean?

This means that the gloves attain the highest possible level of abrasion resistance, and a very high level of tear resistance. As a result, the glove’s material can withstand scratches and scrapes without becoming damaged, while also protecting the user from such injuries. The gloves therefore have great longevity and are suitable for handling coarse or rough materials.

How Much Grip Do These Gloves Provide

The GRIPtech technology of the Ultimate Gloves utilises a micro-cup finish for a more secure grip. The textured surface of their palms therefore creates traction during manual handling applications, so items are less likely to slip.

In-built cooling technology also keeps hands well aired and dry, even in warm conditions.

How Close-Fitting Are the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves?

So as not to restrict the user’s natural range of movement, the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves are designed to provide a tight fit. In addition to dexterity, this also enables a higher level of tactile sensitivity and adds some insulating warmth for use in chilly weather. MultiFlex’s patented ErgoTech technology ensures they still offer a high level of protection, despite being thinner than standard.

How Breathable Are the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves?

When wearing gloves for long periods, hands become clammy and uncomfortable, especially during strenuous work shifts.
