Product Overview
The Cut D13 PVC Dot Glove is a sophisticated piece of hand protection designed for environments where precision and safety are equally paramount. Constructed with a high-performance cut-resistant liner, these gloves achieve a Level D rating, providing a substantial barrier against sharp edges and mechanical risks. While safety is the primary objective, the inclusion of a lightweight, flexible knit ensures that the wearer does not lose the dexterity required for complex manual tasks.
Key Features
- Level D Cut Resistance: The high-performance liner offers superior protection against lacerations, making it suitable for handling materials with sharp or irregular edges.
- PVC Dotted Palm: The integrated PVC dots significantly enhance grip performance, ensuring that tools and materials remain secure in the hand, even in demanding conditions.
- Advanced Material Blend: Utilizing a combination of HPPE, glass fibre, and polyester, the glove provides a robust yet breathable fit that adapts to the natural movements of the hand.
- Elasticated Cuff: The inclusion of elastic and elastane ensures a secure fit around the wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove and maintaining a stable position during use.
Design & Performance
The technical engineering of the Cut D13 glove centres on its multi-material composition. By blending HPPE and glass fibre, the glove achieves a high level of structural integrity without the bulk often associated with heavy-duty protection. This results in a medium-weight feel that remains comfortable throughout a full shift. The PVC dots on the palm are not merely an addition but a functional necessity; they provide mechanical traction that reduces hand fatigue by allowing the wearer to maintain a firm hold with less physical effort.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, on these gloves. This is a deliberate decision based on safety. Any puncture of the fabric through needlework or the application of high heat could compromise the cut-resistant properties of the HPPE and glass fibre liner. To ensure this Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) performs exactly to its rated specification, it is supplied in its original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These gloves are particularly well-suited for professionals in the carpentry and joinery trades, where handling timber and sharp tools is a daily requirement. They are equally effective in glass handling, metal fabrication, and general construction where the risk of cuts is high but the need for a tactile grip is non-negotiable.

Our decades of experience allow us to select only the most reliable hand protection for our customers, ensuring that your team remains safe and productive on-site.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit. A glove that is too loose can reduce the effectiveness of the PVC grip and may snag on machinery. For those working in colder outdoor environments, these gloves can be worn over a thin thermal liner, though we recommend checking that the cut protection remains appropriately positioned over the knuckles and palm.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your cut-resistant gloves, it is important to keep them clean. Accumulated grit and oils can eventually degrade the PVC dots and the synthetic fibres of the liner. We recommend a gentle manual wash in cool water with a mild detergent.
Avoid the use of industrial bleaching agents, as these can break down the molecular bonds in the HPPE and glass fibres, significantly reducing the glove's cut resistance. Furthermore, do not tumble dry or expose these gloves to high heat sources, as this can melt or harden the PVC dots, rendering the grip ineffective and potentially damaging the structural integrity of the glove.
