FAQ

What is impact resistance testing?

Impact resistance testing on impact gloves is used to determine the level of impact protection the glove offers on a scale of 1-to-3. It focuses on back-of-the-hand protection by dissipating impact from the knuckles and fingers in order to avoid hand injuries.

What are the performance levels for impact gloves?

Impact resistance is categorized into three levels based on the ANSI impact standard: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 3 offers the highest protection. The classification is based on the force absorbed by the glove during impact testing.

What materials are used in impact gloves?

Impact gloves often feature thermoplastic elastomer (TPR) molded components for dorsal impact protection. TPR provides flexibility and absorbs impact energy effectively.
