How It Works

Gorilla Grip cut-resistant gloves provide serious industrial-grade cut protection. Able to withstand the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) level A5 cut resistance testing, these work gloves protect hands when working around sharp blades, rough metal, or glass. Engineered with a breathable, knit shell that’s reinforced with cut resistance, they feature the same, trusted Gorilla Grip technology on the palm for maximum gripping power.

CUT PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION

At jobsites, in office spaces, and even around the house, we’re presented with varying levels of potential cut hazards. Your hands are two of the most valuable tools you have, so choosing cut-resistant gloves that provide the appropriate level of protection will keep you safer and more productive. Just look for the ANSI Standard rating on Gorilla Grip gloves and trust that they’ll provide the ideal balance between protection, performance, comfort, and the grip that never slips.

HOW ANSI TESTING WORKS

TEST METHOD

The American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, established a single standardized testing methodology to determine cut resistance in gloves. ASTM F2992-15 testing is performed by utilizing a standardized cut-testing device (TDM-100). The test sample is subjected to multiple cuts by a straight edged blade moving horizontally across the sample at a 20mm distance while a load (in grams) is applied. The blade is then replaced after each cut to ensure accuracy. Essentially, the cut resistance score is determined by the gram weight level applied that ultimately leads to the straight blade cutting through the material. The issued cut resistance level can range from A1-A9 with A1 providing the least resistance and A9 providing the most resistance.
