The Dyneema fiber adds extra cut resistance to the strongest fiber in the world and offers both comfort and dexterity in EN388 cut level 3 or ANSI level 2 cut protection.

Dyneema fiber is 40% lighter than aramid fiber and 8x thinner than nylon without compromising at all on the tactility of the glove. The polyurethane palm coating offers excellent abrasion and cut rsistance, equal to that of heavier protection.
