Portwest A674 Cut F13 Leather Palm Gloves
Leather changes the contact surface and feel of a handling glove. The A674 combines a cow split-leather palm with a cut-resistant knit, with additional reinforcement where palm and forefinger contact can concentrate wear. Assess that construction against your workpieces rather than treating all Cut F gloves as interchangeable.
Key Features
- Cow split-leather palm over a 13-gauge liner.
- Additional reinforcement on the palm and forefinger.
- Cut Level F and ANSI A7 documented performance.
- Contact heat testing under EN 407.
- Reflective label on the glove.
- Black sizes XS to XXL are listed.

Ideal Applications
Consider the A674 for edged workpiece handling where the leather contact surface and documented cut performance suit the assessed task. For warm parts, confirm the supplied thermal limitations and the exposure conditions before use; do not infer unrestricted hot handling from the presence of leather.
Use and Care
Inspect the leather, seams and knitted liner before use, especially on the palm and forefinger. Follow the supplied care instructions rather than assuming the glove can be machine washed. Replace damaged pairs and store clean gloves in the conditions specified by Portwest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from a nitrile-coated Cut F glove?
The A674 uses reinforced leather at the contact surface and a 13-gauge liner. Compare the handling feel, fit and full test ratings with a nitrile-coated model.
Is it suitable for any hot object?
No. The EN 407 code documents particular thermal tests. Match the supplied instructions to the object, temperature, contact time and task before selection.
Can the reflective label replace other visibility measures?
No. It is a glove feature and does not replace required workplace lighting or certified hi-vis clothing.
