Question 1

What are the DuPont Viking TG Kevlar/Steel Fiber Gloves, Cut 5, and what is their main purpose?

Accepted Answer

These gloves combine Kevlar fibers with steel fiber to deliver strong cut resistance for handling sharp and abrasive materials. They are lightweight (about 64 g) with a 7gg construction for dexterity, heat tolerance for brief exposure up to 100 °C, and knitwrist cuffs for a secure fit. They’re designed to protect hands during tasks like metalworking, fabrication, and material handling where sharp edges are present.

Question 2

What does a Cut 5 rating mean for these gloves?

Accepted Answer

A Cut 5 rating indicates a very high level of cut protection, typically aligned with EN 388 cut resistance Level 5. This means the glove provides strong protection against sharp objects such as blades and metal edges.

Question 3

What are the key specifications and materials of these gloves?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: Kevlar/steel fiber construction, 7gg weight, about 64 g per pair, abrasion rating 3, cut rating 5, tear rating 2, puncture rating 1. They offer brief heat resistance up to 100 °C and feature knitwrist cuffs for a secure, comfortable fit.

Question 4

What tasks are these gloves best suited for?

Accepted Answer

They’re well-suited for tasks involving sharp or abrasive materials, such as metal fabrication, construction, glass handling, cutting and scraping operations, and anywhere you need strong cut protection while maintaining dexterity.

Question 5

How should I wear and size these gloves correctly?

Accepted Answer

Choose the correct size to ensure snug fit and optimal protection. The knitwrist cuff helps keep the glove in place during use, preventing slippage. Always inspect for any damage before use and replace if the glove shows wear or nicks.

Question 6

How should I care for and maintain these gloves?

Accepted Answer

Handle with care to preserve the protective fibers. If cleaning is needed, use mild washing methods and air dry away from heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures or direct flame to maintain performance.

Question 7

Are these gloves safe to use around heat or hot materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they offer brief heat resistance up to 100 °C. Do not rely on them for prolonged heat exposure or direct radiant heat; use appropriate protection for sustained hot work environments.

Question 8

What makes these gloves stand out compared to other options on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

They combine Kevlar with steel fiber for a strong cut rating (Cut 5) while keeping weight down for dexterity, plus a knitwrist design for secure fit. This balance of protection and tactility can be advantageous for precision tasks in sharp-material environments.

Question 9

Question 10

Do these gloves provide protection beyond cutting, like tearing or punctures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in addition to cut resistance (5), these gloves have tear resistance rated at 2 and puncture resistance rated at 1, offering a broader level of protection against wear and incidental punctures.

Question 11

What’s the best scenario for maximizing protection with these gloves?

Accepted Answer

Use them when handling sharp-edged or abrasive materials (e.g., metal parts, blades, glass, or rough-cut components) where high cut resistance is needed but you still require good dexterity and tactile feedback for precise work.
