X5 Elite Cut-Resistant Gloves | Level 5 Protection for Kitchen & Industrial Use

Elevate your safety standards with the X5 Cut-Resistant Gloves, the ultimate barrier between your hands and sharp blades. Engineered with high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibres, these gloves provide ANSI Level 5 protection without sacrificing dexterity or comfort.

Whether you are a professional chef, a DIY enthusiast, or an industrial worker, the X5 series offers the peace of mind you need to handle slicers, graters, and knives with total confidence.

Key Features & Benefits

Extreme Cut Resistance: Rated at EN388 Level 5, these gloves are 4x stronger than leather, protecting hands from scrapes, cuts, and lacerations.
Precision Grip & Dexterity: The lightweight, breathable weave ensures a snug, "second-skin" fit, allowing you to handle small items and perform intricate tasks with ease.
Food Grade Safety: 100% food-safe material makes them ideal for oyster shucking, mandoline slicing, and meat butchering.
Breathable Comfort: The elasticated HPPE fibres allow air to circulate, keeping your hands cool and dry during extended use.
Machine Washable: Easy to clean and sanitise. Simply toss them in the wash with mild detergent and hang to dry.

Pro-Tips for Maximum Safety

Note: While these gloves are highly "cut-resistant," they are not "cut-proof." They are designed to prevent injuries from accidental slips, not to withstand deliberate or powered sawing/drilling.

Check for Wear: Always inspect your gloves before use. If you see fraying or a hole, replace them immediately to maintain full protection.
Size Matters: A glove that is too loose can get caught in machinery, while one too tight can cause hand fatigue. Consult our size chart for the perfect fit.
Layering: For heavy-duty industrial tasks, some users prefer wearing a thin nitrile glove over the X5 to provide a waterproof grip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these gloves heat resistant?

A: No. The X5 gloves are specifically designed for cut protection. They should not be used for handling hot pans or open flames.

Q: Can I use these with a touchscreen?

A: Yes! The HPPE fibres allow for basic touchscreen interaction, so you can check a recipe or take a call without removing your protection.

Q: How do I wash them?

A: We recommend machine washing on a cool/warm setting with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying; air drying is best to preserve the fibre integrity.

Q: Are they sold in pairs?

A: Yes, each order includes one left-hand and one right-hand glove (ambidextrous design).
