Impact Resistant - Leather Lined | Cut-Resistant A9 | Superior Glove

Impact Resistant Cut-Resistant A9 Gloves for High-Risk Handling

The Endura® 378GCXVB gloves are cut-resistant driver gloves designed for material handling and impact-prone work. Material handlers, equipment operators, and maintenance technicians typically use this equipment to manage sharp edges while maintaining grip and dexterity. This ANSI A9 certified glove features ParaActiv™ engineered yarn, back-of-hand ANSI 2 impact resistance, and unpadded palms for better feel.

Industry Applications and Professional Use

Mining Work Environments

Mine crews commonly rely on these impact-resistant gloves when handling abrasive materials, tools, and equipment with sharp surfaces. The cut resistance and back-of-hand impact resistance support tasks where knocks and bumps occur often. Workers value the water and liquids treatment in demanding underground or surface conditions.

Oil & Gas Field Operations

Oil and gas workers typically wear these work gloves during drilling, servicing, and refinery support tasks. The gloves suit outdoor environments where grip, liquid resistance, and hand protection matter across long shifts. All Safety customers often select this style for tasks that mix sharp materials with frequent contact hazards.

Utilities Maintenance

Utility workers use these cut-resistant gloves when servicing lines, equipment, and infrastructure around metal edges. The unpadded palms help maintain dexterity during fine tasks, while the impact-resistant gloves design adds value during handling work. Crews often need dependable grip and abrasion resistance in changing field conditions.

Manufacturing Operations

Manufacturing teams commonly depend on these driver gloves for parts handling, assembly support, and material movement. The ParaActiv engineered yarn liner supports 360° hand protection against sharp components. This makes the gloves a practical option where repetitive handling and cut resistance both matter.

Construction Sites

Construction workers typically wear these gloves when working around metal framing, fasteners, and rough materials. The ANSI A9 cut resistance helps support tasks involving sharp edges, while the back-of-hand impact protection adds confidence during active handling. Workers also benefit from the gloves’ grip and water resistance on mixed-job sites.

Technical Specifications and Product Features

Understanding Product Standards

For cut-resistant gloves, the construction details often matter as much as the ratings. ParaActiv engineered yarn, impact resistance, and treated surfaces help workers match the glove to the task. These specifications support hand protection where sharp materials, knocks and bumps, and wet contact can overlap.

Use Case Scenarios and Applications

Metal Fabrication and Parts Handling

These gloves suit metal fabrication tasks where workers handle sheet metal, formed parts, or sharp stock. The cut resistance helps during repetitive contact with edges, while the unpadded palms preserve feel for controlled movement. Crews often choose this style when dexterity stays important.

Mining and Abrasive Material Work

Mining teams use these gloves for handling rough tools, equipment, and materials that can wear down ordinary work gloves. The abrasion resistance and impact protection support rough contact throughout the shift. Workers also benefit from water resistance in variable site conditions.

Oil and Gas Service Work

Field crews typically wear these gloves for oil and gas work that combines liquid exposure, grip needs, and sharp surfaces. The gloves support frequent handling around equipment where hand protection and traction both matter. Their design also suits weather-dependent outdoor use.

Utility Maintenance and Installation

Utility technicians often need gloves that allow movement while they work near sharp materials and hardware. These cut-resistant driver gloves provide a practical balance of grip, durability, and impact protection. That combination supports routine maintenance and installation tasks.

Complete Safety Equipment Solutions

Complementary Safety Gear

These cut-resistant gloves work alongside other equipment for more complete workplace protection. Many jobs require layered safety PPE because hand hazards often appear with eye, head, and noise exposure. Matching the gloves with the right gear supports consistent work practices across the site.

Recommended Equipment Combinations

• Metal fabrication: Gloves + safety glasses + hard hats + hearing protection
• Oil and gas field work: Gloves + safety glasses + hard hats
• Industrial maintenance: Gloves + safety glasses + hearing protection

Selection Guide and Product Suitability

When to Choose This Product

Choose these gloves when tasks involve sharp edges, repeated handling, and exposure to knocks and bumps. They also perform well when workers need grip and cut resistance during outdoor or liquid-prone work. The unpadded palm design helps when dexterity remains a priority.

Key Evaluation Factors

• Cut resistance level required for the task
• Need for back-of-hand impact resistance
• Wet or oily conditions on the jobsite
• Balance between grip and dexterity

Limitations and Alternative Considerations

These gloves are not suitable for tasks that require chemical-specific hand protection or insulation for electrical hazards. Consider a different glove category for those applications. Available from All Safety with standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to suit project timelines.

Daily Use and Maintenance

Workplace Integration

Workers typically wear these gloves when sharp materials and impact exposure occur during the shift. Use them with a fit that supports grip and control per manufacturer instructions. In metal fabrication and field service, crews commonly keep them on during repetitive handling tasks.

Care and Replacement Guidelines

Inspect the liner, grip surface, and overall condition regularly per manufacturer instructions. Manufacturers typically recommend dry cleaning, and workers should store the gloves in a clean, dry place away from contaminants. Replace them when wear affects cut resistance, grip, or impact performance.
