The Cordova 8505 Driver is a cut-resistant glove designed for applications that demand tactile sensitivity and reliable protection. Built with a goatskin grain exterior, it balances hand feel with durability, making it suitable for tasks that require dexterity while handling small parts or components. The glove’s internal cut resistance comes from a cut-and-sewn HPPE/steel lining, offering enhanced protection at the A5 ANSI cut level while preserving a comfortable grip. A keystone thumb and a shirred elastic back support natural hand movement and a secure, flexible fit, enabling longer wear with reduced fatigue. Hi-visibility lime TPR protectors add a visible layer of impact and abrasion resistance without obstructing finger motion, contributing to safer handling in busy environments.

This glove is intended for medium to heavy cut hazards across industries such as appliance manufacturing, metal fabrication, packaging, and automotive assembly, among others. The ANSI cut level guidance provided with CALIBER-GT indicates it tolerates higher force-to-cut scenarios (A5: approximately 2,200–2,999 grams to cut), aligning with tasks that mix precision with moderate risk. The design also considers practical wear, including a durable yet comfortable goatskin shell and a secure wrist closure that helps keep debris out during work. Each order is packaged as pairs, with a case quantity of 72 pairs, making it suitable for teams or shared usage in shop environments.

When selecting this glove, consider the work’s cut exposure, required tactile feedback, and the need for visible protection. The A5 rating denotes a balance between cut resistance and glove flexibility, ideal for jobs like appliance assembly, light glass handling, or HVAC-related tasks where steady manipulation is important. This product’s specifics, including material composition and ANSI levels, are based on verified standards with the CALIBER-GT construction, ensuring consistent performance relative to the stated cut, abrasion, and puncture levels.

ANSI Cut Level A5

ANSI A5 provides medium-to-high cut resistance for tasks involving frequent exposure to sharp edges and materials. It is commonly suited for metal fabrication, glass handling, automotive manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and other demanding applications where increased cut protection is required.

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
