Portwest CS Cut D15 PU Glove

The Portwest CS Cut D15 PU Glove (A647) is engineered for workers who need high-level cut protection without sacrificing the dexterity and tactile sensitivity that precision tasks demand. With a Cut Level D rating, a lightweight 15-gauge liner, and a smooth PU palm coating, the A647 strikes the ideal balance between safety, comfort, and fine motor control.

15-Gauge Liner — The Best of Both Worlds

Gauge matters when it comes to cut-resistant gloves. Thicker liners offer more protection but can feel bulky; thinner liners improve feel but may compromise durability. The 15-gauge construction of the A647 sits in the sweet spot — fine enough for excellent dexterity and a close, precise fit, yet robust enough to maintain Cut Level D protection through repeated use. The HPPE, polyester, and glass fibre blend creates a breathable, seamless liner that stays comfortable across long shifts, while delivering a maximum Dexterity 5 rating under EN ISO 21420.

Smooth PU Coating for Grip and Abrasion Resistance

The polyurethane palm coating gives the A647 a thin, consistent grip surface that enhances handling in dry and lightly oiled conditions. PU is prized for its close-to-skin feel and excellent abrasion resistance, making it the coating of choice for assembly, inspection, and component handling tasks where tactile feedback is critical. The smooth finish also reduces lint transfer, a useful characteristic in cleanroom-adjacent or quality-sensitive environments.

Reinforced Thumb Crotch for Extended Durability

The area between the thumb and forefinger takes the hardest punishment on any work glove. The A647 addresses this with a reinforced thumb crotch that provides additional material and protection exactly where wear and tear is greatest. This targeted reinforcement extends the working life of the glove and ensures consistent protection in the highest-stress zone.

Touchscreen Compatible

The A647 works seamlessly with most mobile touchscreen devices, allowing workers to check instructions, log data, or take calls without removing their gloves. In fast-paced environments where stopping to de-glove costs time and breaks workflow, touchscreen compatibility is a genuine productivity advantage.

Contact Heat Protection Up to 100°C

Rated X1XXXX under EN 407:2020, the A647 provides contact heat protection up to 100°C. This makes it a practical choice for workers who occasionally handle warm parts, tools, or surfaces in automotive, manufacturing, and fabrication settings.

Wash-Certified Durability

The A647 is certified to EN 388 with 3 washes, confirming that its cut protection performance holds up after repeated laundering. This gives buyers confidence that the glove maintains its safety rating through normal cleaning cycles, supporting workplace hygiene without degrading protection levels.

Dermatologically Approved

Tested and approved for prolonged skin contact, the A647 is suitable for workers with sensitive skin or those wearing gloves for extended periods. This dermatological certification provides assurance that the materials used will not cause irritation under normal working conditions.
