"Made with water-resistant nylon backs and goatskin palms for comfort and a better grip without sacrificing dexterity. Cut-retardant Engtex sewn into back of left glove. High-visibility orange color, separate index finger, and hook and loop wrist straps make these three-fingered chain saw protective gloves an excellent choice for the professional logger. Sizes available: S (8), M (9), L (10), XL (11).Important Information:
These garments contain pads of cut-retardant material designed to reduce the risk of severity of injury to the body parts covered by the pads in the event of contact with the rotating chain. The fibers in the pads provide extra layers of material and are designed to rip apart when they come into contact with the moving chain and to clog the sprocket and stop the chain. In some contacts, the pads may stop the chain. In other contacts, the pads will resist the cutting process only for a fraction of a second. The actual degree of protection afforded will vary with the speed of the chain and the time of contact, the power and torque of the saw, the design of the chain saw sprocket and similar factors. Follow the washing instructions. Improper care may destroy cut-retardant properties of the material.
Warning for Electric Chain Saw Users:
The fibers will not stop the sprocket on most electric chain saws because of their constant high torque.
Important Information
All STIHL chain saw protective apparel meets or exceeds OSHA Regulation 1910.266 for Personal Protective Equipment for chain saw operators."
