The right leather protector for your application

Leather Protectors provide mechanical protection for rubber insulating gloves and mittens. Kunz manufactures its leather protectors in a wide range of cuff lengths, designs, colors and leather types, in order to let the user select the type of protector that is best for the specific application. Here are some of Kunz' standard special features:

Longer palm length. Kunz leather protectors start with a 9" palm length to bring the glove leather below the wrist area and allow increased range of wrist movement.

More comfortable, longer-lasting design. Standard inseam construction is sewn with nylon thread in the "Gunn" cut pattern for maximum comfort and durability. Features such as extra padding at the wrist and a reinforcing thumb strap, add to a Kunz gloves's life - even in high-wear situations. An adjustable back strap with nylon locking buckles allows the wearer to secure and release the protector.

The correct cuff. Except as noted, cuffs are green-colored split cowhide leather on the palm side for superior wear and high-visibility orange fluorescent polymeric material on the back to distinguish the glove as a safety item. Available in bell cuff and contour cuff styles to match corresponding rubber glove designs, and in lengths of 1.5" to 7" to meet the correct clearance requirements. Consult ASTM F496 Table 4 for minimum distances between gauntlet and cuff requirements.

The right size. All Kunz leather protectors are designed to fit over the identical-size rubber glove - in sizes 7 through 12, including half sizes.

Special orders. Protectors for Class 3 (30kV) and Class 4 (40kV) insulating gloves are also available as are other special-order designs. Please contact our sales department.
