The Pyramex GCS5216-1511T is a 16-inch cut-resistant sleeve designed to protect the forearm from punctures, cuts, and abrasions while maintaining comfort for extended wear. Constructed with a 15-gauge HPPE (high-performance polyethylene) liner that is fiberglass and steel-free, these sleeves offer flexible cut protection suitable for workers with sensitive skin. The exterior features PMXTECK technology, delivering a durable barrier paired with a soft, breathable interior to minimize heat buildup during prolonged use. A knit wrist cuff helps keep the sleeve in place during movement, and several styles include options such as a thumbhole and a hook-and-loop arm cuff for a tailored fit and added security in demanding environments.
Verified protection is indicated by the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut rating of A5 and EN 388 rating of 3X42F, which reflect the sleeve’s puncture, abrasion, and cut performance within standard testing. This makes the sleeve suitable for tasks that require reliable forearm protection without introducing fiberglass or steel fibers that could irritate sensitive skin. The product is offered in a package size of each, with case quantities of 120, facilitating straightforward inventory planning for teams needing multiple sleeves. The included technologies and design features aim to balance durability with wearer comfort, enabling longer wear times without constant adjustment.
Potential use cases include material handling, light fabrication, and general industrial tasks where forearm protection is desirable without compromising dexterity. When selecting this sleeve, consider the fit options available (select styles with hook-and-loop adjustment or thumbhole) to enhance comfort and prevent ride-up in active work conditions. For ordering, a spec sheet is available from the manufacturer to review detailed construction and compliance data prior to purchase.
