The Portwest A718 is an impact-protection glove for handling jobs where the back of the hand, fingers and gripping surface face different demands. Flexible PVC pods provide impact protection, while the 13-gauge seamless liner achieves Cut Level C for tasks involving sharp components.
A nitrile foam coating supports grip in wet and dry conditions. Reinforcement at the thumb crotch strengthens the area between the thumb and index finger, which takes repeated wear when grasping tools and materials. The close knit balances a substantial construction with useful finger control.
