How Do Typhan XP2 Gloves Protect Your Hands?

XP2 Gloves protect against cuts using a steel core in combination with a thick polyurethane coating. This coating layers a tightly woven mesh of fibres that sit above a steel core. This steel core is compact and dense, meaning the tip of a blade cannot easily pass between the gaps in its construction. Where a blade would normally tear through fabric fibres, this steel core jams the sharp tip of the knife, preventing it from reaching your skin in order to keep you safe.

Which Size Is Right For Me?

Getting the perfect fit is especially important when buying a cut-resistant glove due to the dangerous nature of the work. Thankfully, finding the right size for you could not be easier. Simply measure the circumference of your palm (ignoring the thumb area) and the length of your hand as indicated in the image below.

Once you have your measurements, please consult the sizing chart below to find the correct size for your hand.

Size	Circumference of Palm (mm)	Length of Palm (mm)
Size 7	178mm	171mm
Size 8	203mm	182mm
Size 9	229mm	192mm
Size 10	254mm	204mm

Polyurethane Coating Benefits

Polyurethane is often used in cut-resistant gloves due to its incredible puncture and sharps resistance. It provides resistance against water and oil and is natural far more flexible than both latex and nitrile, giving the palm and fingers a greater degree of movement and flexibility whilst protecting against incisions and cutting.

Incredible Cut Resistance

Typhan XP2 Gloves offer an incredible amount of resistance against knives, blades and other sharp implements. They will protect your hand from between 22 and 29.9 newtons of downward force administered by a blade. This means if your hand slips whilst cutting or you catch your hand with a knife, the steel core will protect your hand from damage.
