Product Overview
The Cut D13 22 Inch (56cm) Sleeve is an essential piece of personal protective equipment for those working in high-risk environments where arm and wrist lacerations are a constant concern. Providing a substantial 56cm of coverage, this sleeve extends protection well up the arm, bridging the gap between your glove and your workwear sleeve. It is specifically designed to offer cut level D protection alongside heat resistance, ensuring that those handling sharp materials or working near thermal hazards remain shielded throughout their shift.
Key Features
- High-Level Cut Resistance: Rated at cut level D, this sleeve provides a robust barrier against sharp edges and abrasive materials, significantly reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
- Integrated Thumb Hole: The thumb hole ensures the sleeve remains securely in place during active movement, preventing it from riding up and exposing the wrist to potential hazards.
- Thermal Protection: In addition to its cut-resistant properties, the fabric offers resistance to heat, making it versatile for environments involving hot components or sparks.
- Sold Individually: This item is sold as a single unit, allowing you to replace or equip exactly what you need without unnecessary surplus.
- Extended 56cm Length: The generous length provides comprehensive protection from the wrist to the upper arm, catering to tasks where standard sleeves fall short.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a sophisticated blend of HPPE, glass fibre, and polyester, this sleeve is engineered for durability without sacrificing comfort. The inclusion of glass fibre within the knit provides the structural integrity required for high-level cut protection, while the polyester and elastane components ensure the fabric remains flexible enough for all-day wear. Despite its protective capabilities, the fabric feels lightweight and breathable on the skin, which is vital for preventing overheating during intensive manual labour.
The grey colour is practical for industrial settings, effectively masking minor dirt and grease. The elasticated nature of the material ensures a snug, contoured fit that doesn't impede circulation but remains firm enough to stay put under heavy exertion.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied printing, on this specific protective sleeve. The integrity of the cut-resistant fibres—specifically the HPPE and glass fibre—could be compromised by the high heat or needle penetration required for branding. To ensure your safety standards are never undermined, we provide this item in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
This sleeve is an ideal choice for carpenters, metal fabricators, and glass handlers who require dependable protection against sharp edges. It is equally suited for automotive assembly lines or waste management roles where incidental contact with jagged materials is a daily reality.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for businesses across the UK.

We understand that in your line of work, quality isn't just a preference—it is a necessity for safety.
Practical Advice
For the best results, we recommend wearing this sleeve tucked under the cuff of a cut-resistant glove. This eliminates any 'skin gap' and ensures seamless protection from the fingertips to the bicep. If you find the sleeve too long, we also offer 35cm and 45cm variants to suit different arm lengths and requirements.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your protective equipment is vital for both hygiene and performance. This sleeve is machine washable, which allows you to remove the oils, sweat, and debris that can accumulate during a busy shift.
We advise against using harsh bleaching agents, as these chemicals can degrade the high-performance fibres, effectively weakening the cut resistance over time. Allowing the sleeve to air dry naturally is preferred to maintain the elasticity and ensuring the fit remains consistent for the duration of its lifespan.
