Makita Glove Sizing Guide:

To determine your correct size, measure the width of your hand from point A to point B. For a more precise fit, also measure the length using the indicated points. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a snug fit.

How to choose the right glove for you?

Purpose built from the hand up, Makita set out to develop its range of high-performance hand protection gloves based on clearly defined abrasion, cut, impact, and puncture performance property standards, using the American National Standards Institute/International Safety Equipment Association (ANSI/ISEA) 105-2016 American National Standard for Hand Protection Classification. When choosing the right glove for your needs, these ratings will allow you to compare performance levels between gloves.

Samples of the palm material are placed on a Tabor machine which spins the sample in a circular motion under weighted abradants that look very similar to grinding wheels. Each full circle made is considered 1 cycle count. The sample spins until a hole is formed and a final cycle count is applied against the table.

Using a TDM Machine, a weighted razor blade is used to cut a 20mm distance across the surface of the glove’s material. The test is repeated 15 times under 3 varied gram weights to form an average. That average is used against the scale in the shown in the table below which assigns a protective cut level based on “distance cut” and the “weight used to perform the cut.” 

A sample glove pair is cut in half, and the back of the hand is placed on an anvil. Using a force gauge connected below the anvil, a striker with a force of 5 joules is dropped on specific back-of-hand locations, including the knuckles, fingers, and thumb.

On both gloves, the knuckles are tested four times, and the fingers and thumbs are tested five times. The average of the knuckle tests is compared to the average of the 10 finger/thumb tests, with the lower performing average of the two yielding the final impact testing score.

 

Makita Glove Safety 

EN388 is the European regulation governing the manufacturer of safety gloves that protect against mechanical hazards, these numbered markings appear on almost all reusable gloves
EN388 is the European equivalent of the American ANSI/ISEA 105 

> Level 4 is the maximum rating for abrasion, tear and puncture resistance 
> Cut resistance is measured up to Level 5 or Level F
> Ratings go from low to high, the lower the number (or letter) being a lesser level of protection
> If a glove is marked with an X or N/A it means that they haven’t been tested against a threat
