Middleweight Contender™ 7-gauge gloves are knit from a blend of composite filament fibre encased with tough, Cordura® nylon. Composite knit fibre can be brittle. But, when wrapped securely with other types of yarn, it becomes fortified and significantly boosts cut resistance. As a result, these gloves withstood 1709 grams of cut force during testing for an ASTM cut-level 4 rating. They weigh 89 grams per pair. Featuring PVC dotting on both sides, these gloves also provide outstanding abrasion resistance and greatly increase grip.
