A combination of natural and artificial materials provides the best performance

WHAT IS LEVEL C PROTECTION?

Level C cut-resistant gloves provide medium protection against cut hazards with a force of up to 10 newtons. These gloves would be classed as offering similar levels of protection as cut level 5 gloves which cover the old EN 388:2003 standards.

Superior Comfort

These gloves also utilise Uvex Climazone technology, which functions according to the same principles as the body’s own climatic system, regulating temperature and removing excess moisture. Ideal for use in warm environments or for working outdoors in summer, Climazone gloves let you focus on your work by keeping your hands in total comfort.

Climazone technology regulates conditions inside the glove, keeping your hands comfortable

Perfect Fit

The Uvex C500 Gloves feature Uvex 3D Ergo technology, which ensures the glove has a perfect anatomical fit while maintaining a high level of flexibility and outstanding tactile feel. This results in improved fingertip precision, which is essential during handling and assembly of small parts.

Glove is formed anatomically in order to fit perfectly to the hand
