Top Flex work gloves are the ideal choice for those who need precision, sensitivity, and a secure grip even in difficult conditions. The 3/4 micro-nitrile foam coating, combined with the embossed palm lining, ensures excellent adhesion on dry, wet, or oily surfaces. The extended coverage improves protection on the back of the hand while maintaining high flexibility.
The stretch nylon lining of the Top Flex gloves guarantees great breathability, softness, and a comfortable fit, adapting perfectly to the hand and offering good tear resistance. The breathable design of the palm helps reduce sweating during prolonged use.
Compliant with the EN 388:2016 + A1:2018 standard, Top Flex work gloves offer excellent protection against mechanical risks, making them reliable for multiple professional activities.

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.
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
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).

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).
Kapriol work glove linings containing elastane ensure a perfect, secure fit, adapting to any hand shape without excessive compression. Thanks to their high elasticity, they guarantee freedom of movement, prolonged comfort, and ease of donning
and doffing.
The combination of snug fit and softness keeps the gloves perfectly in place at all times, reducing irritation and hand fatigue, while the breathable structure keeps hands dry even during the most demanding activities. Ideal for mechanical work, assembly, logistics, and precision tasks, where safety, dexterity, and comfort meet.
ADVANTAGES
- Secure and comfortable fit
- Freedom of movement and flexibility
- Prolonged comfort without irritation
- Easy to don and doff
- Maintenance of dexterity and precision
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.
