Product Overview
The Cut D13 18 Inch Sleeve is a technical solution for arm protection, specifically engineered for professionals operating in environments where mechanical hazards and heat are present. Providing Level D cut resistance, this 45cm sleeve covers the wrist and forearm, bridging the gap between your work gloves and your upper-body apparel. Its lightweight construction ensures that safety does not come at the cost of comfort or dexterity.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: Provides high-level protection against sharp edges, reducing the risk of lacerations in hazardous industrial settings.
- Heat Resistance: Offers a layer of protection against thermal risks, suitable for intermittent contact with hot objects.
- Integrated Thumb Hole: Ensures the sleeve remains fixed in position, preventing exposure of the wrist area during active tasks.
- Machine Washable: Designed for easy maintenance, allowing the sleeve to be cleaned and reused without compromising its protective qualities.
- Ample 45cm Length: Delivers extensive coverage from the wrist up the arm, ensuring comprehensive protection for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of this sleeve is rooted in its material composition, utilizing a blend of HPPE, Glass Fibre, and Polyester to create a resilient barrier. The addition of elastic and elastane allows for a secure, contoured fit that stays in place regardless of the wearer's movements. This lightweight fabric blend provides the necessary protection without the bulk often associated with heavy-duty safety gear.
Finished in a professional grey, the sleeve is designed to withstand the rigours of daily use. It is sold as a single unit, providing businesses with the flexibility to replace individual items rather than entire pairs, which is a sensible approach for managing safety equipment budgets.
Why No Customisation?
As this sleeve is a specialized piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for cut and heat resistance, we do not offer customisation services. Applying embroidery or print could potentially compromise the technical integrity of the HPPE and glass fibres. To ensure the product meets its safety certifications and provides the intended level of protection, it must be used in its original, unmodified state.
Use Cases
This sleeve is an essential accessory for carpenters, glass handlers, and assembly line workers who face a high risk of scrapes or cuts. It is equally effective in manufacturing environments where operatives may come into brief contact with hot components or sharp metal edges.

Practical Advice
When donning the sleeve, ensure the thumb is correctly placed through the integrated hole to lock the fabric in place. For maximum safety, we recommend wearing this sleeve in combination with a pair of cut-resistant gloves that overlap the wrist, ensuring no skin is left exposed to hazards.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and protective performance of the sleeve, it is important to follow the recommended care instructions. This sleeve is machine washable, which is necessary for removing the oils and dust that accumulate during a standard shift.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners, as these can break down the glass fibre and HPPE strands, leading to a loss in cut resistance. We recommend air drying rather than using high-heat tumble dryers to prevent the elastane from losing its stretch, ensuring the sleeve continues to fit securely for the long term.
