Basic Touch work gloves offer protection, comfort, and precision for a wide range of professional tasks. The smooth nitrile coating provides excellent grip on dry surfaces and improved control when handling materials.

The polyester lining is soft, elastic, and breathable, wrapping the hand in comfort while ensuring dexterity and unrestricted movement thanks to its seamless construction. The knitted wrist helps prevent dirt and debris from entering the glove, keeping it stable and secure even during intensive work.

Basic Touch work gloves comply with EN 388:2016 + A1:2018 and provide reliable protection for material handling, warehousing and logistics, construction, and assembly, ensuring consistent performance in every working environment.

Materials

Polyester

A lightweight and durable synthetic fiber used to ensure good durability, comfort, and breathability. It offers excellent dexterity, maintains its shape over time, and is ideal for general-purpose tasks and prolonged use.

It provides high resistance to tears and abrasions while absorbing very little moisture, keeping hands dry and comfortable. Its structure allows for breathability and quick drying, making the gloves practical and easy to wash. Additionally, polyester is ideal for pairing with protective coatings to enhance grip and safety.

Nitrile coating

Nitrile is a synthetic rubber resistant to oils, solvents, abrasions, and punctures, maintaining elasticity and flexibility even at low temperatures. Hypoallergenic, it guarantees comfort, durability, and excellent grip on dry or oily objects, making it ideal for safe and effective work gloves.

Performance

Protection against mechanical risks

Gloves that protect against mechanical risks according to EN 388 +A1, evaluated through resistance tests for abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and cut according to the ISO method (TDM).

Gauge

Selection guide

EN 388:2016 standard classifies protective gloves according to their resistance against mechanical risks. The resistance against ABRASION - CUT - TEAR - PERFORATION must appear in the pictogram relating to the standard. The revision of the previous standard (EN 388:2003) has made changes to the test procedures, especially for the CUT test, including an additional test.

Test performed to provide an indication about the cut protection. The test is performed using a circular blade that moves on the surface of the gloves with a 5 newton pressure (Coup Test). The evaluation, from 1 to 5, is measured by calculating the number of cycles until the moment in which the blade penetrates the fabric.

For high cut resistance gloves (Coup Test 4 o 5) an additional test (EN ISO 13997) is carried out with a straight blade from which the force required to penetrate the fabric is detected. The value is expressed from A to F (F is the highest value).

The glove cuff is available in 5 different colors for quick and easy identification of available sizes:

Yellow size 7
Black size 8
Orange size 9
Grey size 10
Brown size 11

The gauge represents the fineness of the knit used to create the glove’s fabric lining. It is a fundamental parameter in determining the dexterity, comfort, and protection level of the glove. The higher the gauge, the finer and more compact the knit.

The gauge directly impacts three key aspects: dexterity, comfort, and resistance.

HIGH GAUGES: 15G > 18G

Characterized by a very thin and lightweight knit, offering high tactile sensitivity and superior ergonomics. Ideal for precision
work, assembly, electronics, and handling small components.

MEDIUM GAUGES: 10G > 13G

Offer an optimal balance between protection, flexibility, and durability. Suitable for logistics, maintenance, light industry,
construction, and general-purpose applications.

LOW GAUGES: 7G > 9G

Characterized by a thicker and more robust knit, designed for heavy-duty use requiring greater mechanical resistance, such as
construction, carpentry, and heavy material handling.

The choice of gauge enables identification of the highestperforming KAPRIOL glove for each activity, optimizing comfort, safety, and dexterity.
In this catalogue, it serves as an essential indicator to guide the customer toward the most appropriate technical solution.
