Hand injuries are the number one job related incident in the United States, whether it be in the industrial field or the restaurant world. Hands are particularly susceptible to damage and one of the best ways to protect your hands is to use Kevlar gloves or another form of cut resistant gloves. I particularly like Kevlar gloves because they are lightweight, flexible, and not nearly as expensive as metal mesh gloves.

When evaluating a job you must first figure out what hazards you will encounter, if the job demands you use anything sharp Kevlar Glove by Wells Lamont is the best alternative. The glove is covered by PVC dots to ensure a secure grip and avoid potential drops and slips of potential dangerous equipment. In addition the added slip resistance gives users less of a reason to remove gloves and expose them selves to injury.

Many other types of cut resistant gloves are bulky and restrict hand movement leading to a potential situation in which accidents could occur, however Kevlar Gloves are light weight, flexible, and allow for maximum dexterity and range of motion. Users will have no reason to remove these gloves in the midst of dangerous activities

Light weight materials combined with the strength of kevlar have made kevlar gloves the first choice in modern industry. This space aged material changed industrial products and made millions of works that we depend on safer. Kevlar was first developed in 1965 by DuPont and it has quickly revolutionized many new products.

Kevlar gloves are made through a process of layering kevlar string with other synthetic or non synthetic material and using traditional methods of glove production to create the gloves. Kevlar gloves come in all shapes and sizes and can be integrated with waterproofing agents to create waterproof gloves as well as just cut resistant.

Take the time to evaluate your job properly and decide on which gloves are right for you. If you work with blades, in lumber yard, around glass or in one of the numerous other trades that subject you to potential cuts or puncture wounds kevlar gloves could be right for you.
