Showa Best Glove 300B-09 personal protective equipment

Cut-Resistant Gloves for General Purpose

The Showa Best Glove 300B-09 is a pair of coated knit gloves designed for workers who need reliable hand protection during general-purpose tasks. The cotton knit construction with a dipped palm coating provides a secure grip while the hem-style finish keeps the cuff in place. These gloves meet ANSI/ISEA 105-2005 standards and carry an EN 388 rating of 2142XP, confirming tested abrasion resistance at Level 4 for demanding environments.

Abrasion Level 4 and Grip Coating Benefits

The palm-coated design delivers enhanced grip on dry or lightly oily surfaces without sacrificing dexterity for handling tools or small parts. The ANSI/ISEA Abrasion Level 4 rating means the material withstands significantly more wear cycles than lower-rated alternatives, extending the usable life of each pair. Because the gloves are not insulated and offer no additional hazard protection beyond mechanical risks, they remain lightweight and breathable for extended indoor or warm-weather use.

Mechanical Protection Limits and Sizing

The EN 388 2142XP rating defines the exact mechanical performance envelope: Level 2 cut resistance, Level 1 tear resistance, Level 4 abrasion resistance, and Level 2 puncture resistance. This combination handles routine material handling, assembly, and maintenance work where abrasion is the primary wear factor. The gloves will not protect against thermal hazards, chemical permeation, or high-cut-risk applications such as sheet-metal fabrication or glass handling, and the single size offered may not fit every hand.
