What the AI looks for in Safety Work Gloves
- Palm material
- Synthetic leather for dexterity, grain leather for abrasion, coated knit for grip and breathability. The palm material sets lifespan and feel for the task.
- Abrasion rating
- Check the first digit of the EN 388 code or the ANSI abrasion level. It is the best predictor of how fast the palm wears through.
- Closure
- A hook-and-loop wrist keeps debris out. A slip-on knit cuff is quicker to take off. It affects fit and safety around machinery.
Brands that matter
- Mechanix Wear: Mechanics gloves.
- Wells Lamont: Leather and general work gloves.
- Ironclad: Task-specific work gloves.
- Carhartt: Durable work gloves.
