| Gloves and sleeves offer superior protection and are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications. |
 |
Gloves, sleeves and aprons of Kevlar® Armor Technology are ideal for those who work near stationary blades and slitting operations; in manufacturing areas where sharp or jagged metal objects, glass or abrasives are handled or transported; and in positions that require the handling of sheet metal, knives, blades or other sharp instruments. |
 |
Soft, flexible, low linting and lightweight, Kevlar® Clean Technology protects against cuts and slashes. |
 |
Medium-Weight Seamless Gloves of Kevlar®: The most popular general-purpose work gloves, they provide maximum comfort and dexterity, and are ideal for providing cut protection in areas involving auto assembly and sheet metal handling. |
 |
Dotted Gloves of Kevlar®: The special dot coating on these gloves improves the wearer's grip. They are designed for jobs requiring enhanced gripping power, such as sheet metal without excessive oil, and tool handling. |
 |
Heavyweight Seamless Gloves of Kevlar®: These loop-in or loop-out terry gloves provide unsurpassed protection from cuts. They are more commonly used in automotive, appliance and other manufacturing areas where workers handle abrasives or sharp objects. |
 |
The same performance benefits that are seen with gloves made of Kevlar® are also found in a variety of garments. Sleeves made of Kevlar® are the most common. They can be made from a knit tubular form or from a woven fabric of 100% Kevlar® that is then cut and sewn.

| Chainsaw Protection |
| In chainsaw chaps or trousers, Kevlar® brand fibers catch, fill and clog the chains of saws operating at speeds up to 3,300 feet-per-minute (16.8 meters/second.) Lightweight and flexible so they enhance ease of movement, chainsaw chaps with Kevlar® brand fiber are the only ones specified by the U.S. Forest Service. |
 |
Chainsaw Chaps: In North America, the nylon outer-shell makes these chaps comfortable to wear, with easy-care durability. Four inner layers (two woven and two felt) of Kevlar® brand fiber are what enables these chaps to outperform other fabrics in chainsaw cut resistance. And, with chainsaw chaps of Kevlar®, you get 50% more protection and 40% less weight compared to nylon.
|
| Other Apparel |
 |
Other protective apparel of Kevlar® is available for demanding cut-hazardous applications such as large glass handling. These include aprons, jackets and leggings.
