Cordova 3905 Cold Snap PVC Foam Thermal, A3 Cut Resistant Glove

ANSI Cut Level A3

ANSI A3 provides light-to-medium cut resistance for tasks involving moderate exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for general manufacturing, material handling, assembly, construction, maintenance, and other applications where a balance of cut protection, comfort, and dexterity is needed.

Understanding ANSI Cut Levels

ANSI/ISEA 105 cut ratings range from A1 to A9. Higher ratings indicate greater cut resistance:

A1–A2: Light cut protection

A3–A4: Light-to-medium cut protection

A5–A6: Medium-to-high cut protection

A7–A8: High cut protection

A9: Maximum cut protection

Nylon

Nylon is an excellent choice for PPE that requires durability, flexibility, and comfort during demanding tasks. Its strong, abrasion-resistant fibers hold up well against repeated wear and friction while remaining lightweight and flexible. Nylon also provides good dexterity and freedom of movement, making it especially well suited for work gloves, protective sleeves, and other PPE used in material handling and general industrial applications.

Foam PVC

Foam PVC is a lightweight, flexible glove coating designed to provide reliable grip, dexterity, and abrasion resistance. Its textured foam surface helps improve handling in dry and lightly wet or oily conditions while maintaining flexibility and comfort. Foam PVC coated gloves are commonly used for general material handling, assembly, warehousing, maintenance, and manufacturing applications where dependable grip and hand mobility are important.
