Flexy Cut work gloves offer maximum cut protection thanks to the HPPE K-Mesh, nylon and elastane lining, ultra-lightweight, breathable and free from metal or glass fibers.
The sandy nitrile coating of the cut-resistant gloves provides excellent grip on dry, wet and oily surfaces, ensuring durability and comfort even during prolonged use.
The nylon and elastane yarn ensures a secure and comfortable fit, while the 21-gauge fabric makes the cut-resistant work gloves thin yet highly durable. Ideal for demanding tasks and for those who require precision, grip and high protection, cut-resistant gloves are suitable for applications such as handling glass and sharp metals, construction and warehousing, metalworking, automotive industry and recycling.

Materials
Nylon
Nylon, a synthetic polymer from the polyamide family, is a strong, lightweight, and elastic fiber that is easily washable. One of its key features is its ability to dry quickly. It has high resistance to abrasion and deformation.
When combined with cotton and acrylic, it increases the glove’s softness and extends its durability.
HPPE
An extremely strong synthetic fiber made from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene. HPPE stands for HighPerformance Polyethylene. It is a soft, lightweight, and long-lasting fiber. It offers high cut and tensile resistance (stronger than steel by weight) and extreme abrasion resistance. It is also resistant to chemicals.
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.
Technology
K-Mesh Technology
Linings made with K-Mesh Technology, thanks to the 2D weave, ensure high breathability, greater elasticity, and comfort, while also providing excellent sensitivity ideal for precision work.
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.
Elastan comfort
Fabric that adapts to the shape of the hand without compression thanks to its high elasticity, ensuring freedom of movement and long-lasting comfort.
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).

Sizes and colors
Gauge
Linings made with K-MESH TECHNOLOGY guarantee high performance. Their 2D weave is highly elastic and breathable, ensuring optimal comfort, protection, and functionality. The material adapts perfectly to the hand, ensuring a stable and secure fit without excessive
compression.
ADVANTAGES
- Secure and comfortable fit
- Greater freedom and agility of movement
- Improved hand breathability
- Increased precision in delicate operations
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.
