Materials
UHMW
A polyethylene engineered to offer extreme strength and lightness. It provides superior protection against cuts, tears, and abrasions, keeping hands agile and reducing fatigue. Thanks to its low-friction structure and exceptional durability, gloves with UHMW guarantee consistent performance even in heavy-duty working conditions. It is resistant to chemicals and moisture, ensuring comfort and safety. Ideal for precision work and activities with a high risk of abrasion and cuts.
Polyurethane coating
Polyurethane is a lightweight and flexible synthetic material that offers protection without sacrificing sensitivity and touch. It is resistant to abrasion, tearing, and wear, while maintaining good elasticity to allow for precise movements and comfort during prolonged use. It guarantees resistance to moisture and light oils, does not absorb liquids, and is suitable for precision work.
Additionally, it provides the gloves with durability and lightness, making them practical and easy to wear.
Performance
HPPE-C
Cut-resistant properties in HPPE fiber (High Performance Polyethylene) with cut resistance level C according to EN ISO 13997:1999, ensuring good protection against cuts and abrasions while maintaining flexibility and comfort in medium-risk applications.
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).

Selection guide
Kapriol cut-resistant gloves are designed to offer maximum protection and comfort, making them ideal for those working with sharp materials, rough surfaces, construction materials, and sharp metal components. They provide high resistance to abrasion, tearing, and punctures, along with reliable protection against actual cuts, ensuring concrete safety without compromising manual dexterity.
COMPOSITION
- High-performance technical fiber linings: a combination of HPPE and UHMW fibers makes the gloves even more resistant, lightweight, and comfortable.
- The linings for the Cut Evo and Flexy Cut models are crafted using 2D and 3D K-Mesh technology, respectively.
- Palm coating in polyurethane or nitrile ensures an excellent grip on dry, damp, or lightly oily surfaces, while increasing the glove’s durability.
- Ergonomic, seamless design: elastic wrist for maximum comfort, dexterity, and ease of donning.
- Tactile sensitivity for precise movements and fine control during the most delicate operations.
ADVANTAGES
- Advanced protection against abrasions, tears, and punctures.
- Cut resistance for safety when in contact with blades, construction materials, or metal edges.
- Prolonged comfort: lightweight and breathable materials for daily use without fatigue.
- Secure and stable grip even on damp or lightly oily surfaces.
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).
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.
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.
