Product Overview
The CS Cut E18 Nitrile Glove is a sophisticated piece of hand protection designed for those who refuse to choose between high-level safety and precision dexterity. Engineered with a remarkably fine 18-gauge liner, these gloves provide a 'second-skin' feel that is often missing from heavy-duty protective wear. Despite their lightweight and flexible nature, they offer Level E cut resistance, making them a formidable barrier against sharp edges and mechanical risks. The addition of a nitrile foam coating ensures that your grip remains steadfast, whether you are handling components in dry conditions or dealing with slightly damp environments.
Key Features
- Level E Cut Resistance: Provides a high degree of protection against cuts and abrasions, ensuring safety when handling sharp materials.
- 18-Gauge Breathable Liner: The exceptionally fine knit offers outstanding dexterity and comfort, reducing hand fatigue during long shifts.
- Nitrile Foam Coating: Enhances your grip in both wet and dry conditions, allowing for confident handling of tools and materials.
- Reinforced Thumb Crotch: Adds an extra layer of durability to a high-wear area, significantly extending the life of the glove.
- Touchscreen Compatibility: Allows you to operate smartphones and tablets without removing your protection, maintaining safety and efficiency.
- Reflective Label: Subtly increases visibility in poorly lit environments, adding a further layer of safety for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A661 lies in its intricate material composition. By blending HPPE, Nylon, and Steel Fibre, the glove achieves a high level of tensile strength without the bulk typically associated with cut-resistant equipment. The steel fibre core provides the essential cut-blocking properties, while the nylon and elastane ensure the glove moves with the hand.
The nitrile foam coating is not just about grip; it is also designed for breathability. Unlike solid coatings, the foam structure allows air to reach the skin, which helps in managing moisture and heat build-up. This makes the glove particularly suitable for intensive tasks where comfort is as important as protection.
Why No Customisation?
We provide these gloves as-is to ensure that their technical integrity remains uncompromised. Applying embroidery would involve piercing the protective liner with needles, which would create weak points in the cut-resistant barrier and potentially irritate the skin. Furthermore, heat-pressed logos could interfere with the flexibility of the 18-gauge knit or the performance of the nitrile coating. For these reasons, we prioritise your safety over branding on this specific item.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for professionals in carpentry, glass handling, and metal fabrication. They are particularly effective in assembly lines where fine motor skills are required alongside protection from sharp components. If your work involves switching between manual tasks and using digital interfaces, the touchscreen functionality makes these an excellent choice for modern workshops.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to make the most of the 18-gauge dexterity. A glove that is too loose will diminish the effectiveness of the touchscreen-compatible fingertips and may cause snagging hazards. Conversely, a glove that is too tight may overstretch the steel fibres, potentially reducing the lifespan of the protective knit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves, it is important to keep them free from heavy soilage. Dirt and grit can act as an abrasive, gradually wearing down the nitrile coating and the internal fibres.
We recommend a gentle manual cleaning process. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the HPPE and steel fibres, significantly reducing the cut resistance. Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources; high temperatures from tumble dryers or radiators can cause the nitrile coating to become brittle and crack.
Regularly inspect your gloves for signs of wear, particularly in the palm and fingertips. If the coating is significantly worn or the inner liner is visible through the nitrile, it is time to replace the pair to ensure your safety is never in doubt.
