The SHOWA 4651 protective glove.

SHOWA has recently unveiled its newest protective glove innovation, the SHOWA 4561, created in collaboration with DuPont and engineered with DuPont’s Kevlar fibers.

The glove’s 15 gauge Kevlar construction allows for a strong, lightweight product which boasts an ANSI A4 Cut Level of cut resistance. This means that the 4561 offers resistance against higher cut forces than most other comparable gloves on the market, which only reach ANSI A3.

The glove also uses SHOWA’s Zorb-IT grip technology, which allows users to maintain a strong grip on their work in oily or wet conditions. The glove top features a new informational design, which indicates the glove size, technology, and certifications. A seamless-fit design also offers greater comfort. www.showagloves.com
