Product Overview
The Cut D13 Leather Palm Glove is a high-performance piece of safety equipment designed for professionals who face the dual threats of mechanical cuts and thermal hazards. By combining a high-specification cut-resistant liner with a robust cow split leather palm, these gloves offer a sophisticated balance between tactile dexterity and heavy-duty protection. Whether you are handling sharp sheets of glass or managing components in a high-temperature environment, this glove provides the necessary barrier to keep your hands secure and productive.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: Provides a high degree of protection against sharp edges and abrasive surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of lacerations in high-risk environments.
- Reinforced Cow Split Leather Palm: This robust natural material offers superior grip and durability, extending the operational life of the glove while providing an additional layer of mechanical protection.
- Heat Protection: Specifically engineered to withstand contact with items up to 100°C for short periods, making it indispensable for tasks involving hot materials or machinery.
- Enhanced Grip: The combination of leather and the underlying technical fabric ensures a secure hold on tools and materials, even when dealing with smooth or slightly oily surfaces.
Design & Performance
The architecture of the Cut D13 is rooted in material science. The liner is constructed from a blend of HPPE and Glass Fibre, materials chosen for their exceptional tensile strength and inherent resistance to shearing. This technical core is complemented by polyester and elastane, which provide the necessary stretch and flexibility for a comfortable, snug fit that does not hinder movement.
The inclusion of a cow split leather palm is a deliberate choice for durability. Unlike synthetic coatings, leather offers a natural resilience to heat and abrasion that is difficult to replicate. The glove remains lightweight and breathable despite its heavy-duty rating, ensuring that the wearer can maintain focus throughout long shifts without the discomfort of excessive perspiration or hand fatigue.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety standards seriously. This specific glove is sold without customisation because the application of embroidery or heat-applied logos could compromise the structural integrity of the cut-resistant fibres. Furthermore, any modification could potentially invalidate the safety certifications (such as the Level D cut rating), which are essential for your workplace compliance and personal protection. We believe that in the realm of high-level PPE, safety must always precede branding.
Use Cases
These gloves are ideally suited for industrial glass handling, where the risk of sharp edges is constant. They are also highly effective for carpenters, metal fabricators, and maintenance engineers who frequently handle hot components or sharp materials. If your daily tasks involve short-term contact with temperatures up to 100°C or exposure to high-risk cutting hazards, this is the appropriate choice of hand protection.
Why MyWorkwear

We understand the nuances of workplace safety and only stock products that meet our rigorous standards for performance and reliability. With nearly five decades of experience, we ensure that you receive the right equipment for the job, backed by genuine industry expertise.
Practical Advice
To ensure maximum protection, it is vital to select the correct size; a glove that is too loose can snag, while one that is too tight can cause hand fatigue and thin the protective material. We recommend assessing the specific thermal and mechanical risks of your environment to ensure the Level D rating and 100°C heat threshold are sufficient for your specific operational requirements.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your safety gloves is essential for long-term protection. We recommend a gentle approach to cleaning to ensure the technical fibres and leather palm remain effective.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the HPPE and glass fibre structure, significantly reducing the cut resistance. Should the leather palm become soiled, it is best to wipe it with a damp cloth rather than soaking it, as excessive moisture can cause the leather to stiffen and crack upon drying.
Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Using a tumble dryer or placing them on a radiator can shrink the materials and damage the elasticated wrist, leading to a poor fit and reduced safety. Consistent care ensures the gloves remain supple and protective for their intended lifespan.
