HexArmor designers have worked hand-in-hand with safety experts from the leaders in the mining, oil and gas industries. The result of these partnerships was to engineer gloves and body protection with the capability to deliver the perfect balance of exceptional protection, dexterity and grip. Standard Synthetic Leather Gloves Many lacerations start out as a puncture. A sharp edge, corner, burr, braided cable wire, or other protruding hazards penetrate the glove and scrape or cut skin. With synthetic leather, Kevlar® works as the first line of defence against cuts, punctures, and tears, HexArmor's new impact shielding materials protect against serious and painful impact injuries. IR-X™ Impact Guards are 30% taller than competitive impact guards, creating an even greater barrier between your hand and impact injuries. west chester leather gloves west chester leather gloves west chester leather gloves Mechanix ORHD west chester leather gloves Mechanix ORHD Mechanix ORHD 2-plkevlar® Ergodkevlar® grams grams grams grams kevlar® liner kevlar® liner Ergodyne 9252-ply cottonHexArmor 4028 Ergodyne 9252-ply cottonHexArmor 4026 Ergodyne 925 2-ply cotton liner Mechanix ORHD y cotton liner yne 925 *Testing done through all materials on palm, including added patches HexArmor 4028 HexArmor 4026 HexArmor 4020 HexArmor 4021X HexArmor 4020 HexArmor 4021X *Testing done through all materials on palm, including added patches *Testing done through all materials on palm, including added patches HexArmor 4028 HexArmor 4026 HexArmor 4020 HexArmor 4021X *Testing done through all materials on palm, including added patches HexArmor 4028 HexArmor 4026 HexArmor 4020 HexArmor 4021X
