Product Overview
The Goat Leather Impact Cut Glove A6 (A747) is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed for the most demanding physical environments. By combining the traditional benefits of premium goat grain leather with modern composite liners, this glove provides a high level of protection without the bulk often associated with industrial hand safety. It is engineered to safeguard against both sharp-edge hazards and heavy impact, making it an essential choice for professionals who cannot afford to compromise on either safety or tactile precision.
Key Features
ANSI A6 Cut Resistance: The internal liner provides high-level protection against cuts and punctures, significantly reducing the risk of injury when handling sharp materials or using industrial tools.
TPR Impact Protection: Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) padding is strategically placed across the knuckles and fingers to absorb and deflect energy from shocks, protecting the bones of the hand from crushing or bruising.
Premium Goat Grain Leather: Known for its natural strength and high lanolin content, the goat leather remains supple and provides excellent abrasion resistance and grip.
Ergonomic Pre-Curved Design: The glove is shaped to follow the natural contour of the hand, which helps to reduce hand fatigue during long shifts and improves precision handling.
Versatile Grip: The material properties ensure secure handling across dry, wet, and oily conditions, providing stability when working with heavy equipment or machinery.
Design & Performance
The engineering behind the A747 involves a complex multi-material construction. The outer shell is crafted from goat grain leather, a material selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio. This choice ensures the glove is substantial and sturdy enough for heavy-duty work while remaining lightweight enough to prevent overheating.
Beneath the leather, a technical liner incorporating Aramid, HPPE, and Steel fibres provides the A6 cut rating. This combination creates a dense barrier that is incredibly difficult to penetrate. To address impact risks, the TPR padding provides a flexible yet resilient armour. The pre-curved fingers and ergonomic fit mean that despite these protective layers, the wearer maintains a full range of motion, which is critical for safety and efficiency in complex manual tasks.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically designed for high-risk sectors including construction, metal fabrication, and automotive manufacturing. They are equally well-suited for the oil and gas industry and heavy equipment handling, where the combination of impact protection and cut resistance is mandatory for daily operations.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit to maximise the benefits of the pre-curved fingers and ergonomic design. A well-fitted glove improves dexterity and ensures that the TPR impact protection remains correctly aligned with your knuckles and fingers. For tasks requiring extreme precision, the softness of the goat leather will improve with use as it moulds to the shape of your hand.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your personal protective equipment is vital for ensuring it continues to provide the intended level of safety. You should regularly inspect the leather for signs of wear or thinning, as compromised leather will reduce the glove's overall durability and abrasion resistance.
Cleaning should be done carefully to preserve the natural oils in the goat leather. Using harsh chemicals or excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and crack, which undermines the glove's flexibility and protection. Always ensure the gloves are completely dry before use; wearing damp leather can lead to stretching and may cause the internal cut-resistant liners to shift, reducing their effectiveness.
Do not use bleach on this product, as the chemicals can degrade the high-performance Aramid and HPPE fibres in the liner, rendering the cut protection ineffective. Similarly, avoid high-heat ironing or tumble drying, as this can melt the TPR impact padding and damage the internal structure of the glove.
