High cut resistance and good tactile feedback
Work gloves with a high level of cut protection are traditionally thicker and can restrict finger mobility. The Xcellent 18-991 is designed to provide A6 cut protection in a thin, 18-gauge construction, combining hand protection with the tactile sensitivity required for precision work.
This makes the glove suitable for workplaces where employees must repeatedly grasp, lift, or handle parts with sharp edges throughout the day.
PREMICUT™ technology
Xcellenti’s PREMICUT™ technology focuses on achieving high cut protection with a glove construction that is as thin, soft, and flexible as possible.
A thinner glove helps improve finger dexterity and tactile sensitivity and can reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. This is particularly important in manufacturing and assembly work, where protective gloves are worn for a large portion of the workday.
