Design & Performance
The performance of the APR15 is defined by its fine-knit construction. By using an 18-gauge knit, the glove feels almost like a second skin, allowing for the kind of precision work that heavier gloves often hinder. The moisture-wicking properties of the PET yarn ensure that even during long shifts, your hands remain dry and comfortable.
The micro-foam nitrile coating is specially formulated to be breathable. Unlike solid coatings that can lead to clammy hands, this foam structure allows for air circulation. Furthermore, the ANSI Cut Level A2 rating ensures that you are protected against light to medium cut hazards, making this a versatile tool for various industrial environments.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. This specific item is a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to meet stringent safety certifications. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on these gloves because any puncture or chemical application could compromise the integrity of the protective coating and the mechanical resistance of the knit. To ensure your team remains fully protected and the safety ratings remain valid, these gloves are supplied in their original, certified form.
Use Cases
These gloves are perfectly suited for professionals working in precision assembly, light engineering, and electronics where dexterity is paramount. They are equally effective for warehouse operatives who frequently use touchscreen scanners or logistics staff who require a balance of protection and the ability to handle small components. Because they are moisture-wicking and breathable, they are an excellent choice for indoor maintenance and retail environments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend choosing a fit that is snug but not restrictive. The dropped little finger design is specifically included to prevent the glove from 'riding up' the hand, so ensuring the correct palm width is essential for the best ergonomic experience. If you are between sizes, the flexible nature of the PET yarn generally allows for a comfortable fit in the smaller size to maintain maximum dexterity.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your safety gloves is essential for both hygiene and longevity. While specific instructions are provided on the retail packaging, following general technical care principles will help preserve the glove’s protective features.
Regularly cleaning your gloves removes dirt and oils that can eventually abrade the yarn. However, you should avoid using bleach or harsh oxidizing agents. Such chemicals can degrade the nitrile coating and weaken the synthetic PET fibres, leading to a loss of mechanical protection and premature failure of the glove.
We advise against tumble drying or ironing these gloves. High heat can cause the micro-foam nitrile to harden or melt and can shrink the recycled yarn, which would negatively impact the fit and flexibility. Air drying at room temperature is the most effective way to ensure the glove maintains its shape and protective integrity for its full lifespan.
