Manufacturer-Listed Performance
MCR Safety lists abrasion level 3, puncture level 3 and contact heat level 2 for model 3201. Its product page separately lists EN 388 abrasion level 2. These abrasion results use different rating systems and should not be treated as interchangeable numbers.
A puncture score does not establish protection against needles or every sharp object. No numerical cut rating is listed in the reviewed manufacturer documentation. Select separately verified cut protection when handling sharp edges presents a hazard.
The contact heat score is not a welding, flame or electrical rating. Review the manufacturer's conditions of use before handling heated parts. These performance results describe particular tests; they do not constitute blanket certification for every workplace application.
Fit and Handling
The unlined construction avoids the added bulk of an insulating layer. The gathered elastic back helps hold the glove around the hand, while the open cuff allows convenient removal. Cotton hems are color-coded to help identify sizes during distribution.
Try the selected size with the tools and materials used on the job. Check fingertip control, thumb movement and grip. Reassess handling when leather or work surfaces become wet or oily. Choose a different construction if the task requires a liquid barrier or additional cuff coverage.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires suitable hand protection for identified hazards, including abrasions, punctures and thermal burns. Employers must evaluate performance against the task, conditions and duration of use. OSHA does not approve this particular glove through that regulation.
Compare cut resistant gloves and sleeves if your assessment identifies additional hand hazards.
Inspection and Manufacturer Documents
Inspect the leather, seams, thumb and cuff before use. Replace gloves when wear, holes or contamination compromise their suitability. Follow MCR Safety's care instructions. Keep model and size information with purchasing records so repeat orders match the selected glove.

For the price these are great cloves! I handle and weld all day. Tillmans are nice but the cost is high. I feel these compare to tillmans.
