The Portwest A784 is a fine-knit arc-flash handling glove for work where precise finger movement remains important. Its 18-gauge aramid-based liner combines Cut C resistance with a flexible feel, and the flame-resistant neoprene palm helps maintain grip on parts and tools.
The manufacturer specifies a 12 cal/cm² arc rating. This describes performance against the thermal effects of an arc event and must be matched to the assessed exposure and the rest of the protective equipment used for the task.
