Lumberjack leather work gloves are professional gloves designed to provide durability, protection, and comfort during the most demanding tasks. The full-grain leather palm, highly resistant to abrasion, ensures long-lasting performance and protection in the most stressed areas of the hand. The flexible and breathable split suede back enhances comfort during prolonged use.
For superior safety, Lumberjack protective gloves feature reinforced full-grain leather thumb and index finger, ensuring stability, optimal grip, and additional protection in critical areas. The 1–1.2 mm thickness and 33 cm length provide maximum resistance and protection in heavy-duty applications.
Lumberjack leather work gloves are ideal for construction, road work, gardening, agriculture, forestry, and landscaping, guaranteeing high performance even in the toughest conditions.

Materials
Leather
Leather is a natural material prized for its strength, durability, and comfort. In work gloves, it is selected to ensure protection against abrasions, superficial cuts, impacts, and moderate heat, while maintaining flexibility and tactile sensitivity. Leather partially absorbs sweat, promoting comfort during prolonged use, and is breathable. Different types of leather are used depending on specific needs: cowhide, goatskin, or calfskin.
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).
EN 388:2016 STANDARD
Cut resistance test
Gauge
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 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.
