Portwest A791 is a mechanics glove that helps reduce vibration transmission to the hand and arm during selected powered-tool tasks.
The nylon, polyurethane and polyester construction combines a shock-absorbing palm with an adjustable wrist strap. The design achieves Dexterity Level 5 under EN ISO 21420.
The glove does not eliminate vibration or HAVS risk. Exposure time, machine maintenance, tool selection, work method and statutory action values remain decisive.
