Warmth, Weather Protection and Fit
The lighter palm insulation supports handling tasks, while additional insulation covers the back of the hand. A breathable waterproof insert blocks moisture and wind. The extended cuff can fit under or over jacket sleeves and adjusts with a hook-and-loop closure.
No fixed minimum working temperature is established by the cited manufacturer specifications. Select these gloves according to exposure duration, wind, moisture, activity and the surfaces being handled. Insulation weight alone does not establish a safe temperature or guarantee comfort throughout a shift.
Compare other cold-weather glove options before selecting a model for extended exposure and check grip with the tools used during your normal shift.
Understanding EN 388:2016, 3423X
Ergodyne's user instructions report abrasion level 3, blade cut level 4, tear level 2 and puncture level 3. The final X means ISO 13997 cut resistance was not tested. The blade cut result is not ANSI A4, and the puncture result does not establish needlestick protection.
These mechanical results are separate from thermal insulation. No ANSI/ISEA 138 impact rating is assigned here. Choose documented protection for any additional cut, impact, chemical or electrical hazards identified at the worksite.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires employers to select appropriate hand protection based on hazards, performance, tasks, workplace conditions and duration of use. This includes harmful temperature extremes. The regulation is a selection requirement, not OSHA approval of this glove.
Inspection and Care
Check fingertips, palm reinforcements, seams and closure before use. Replace damaged gloves. Ergodyne lists the 817WP as machine washable; follow the interior care label for cleaning instructions. Store in a clean, dry area. Do not wear gloves where moving machine parts create an entanglement risk.
Manufacturer Specifications and Instructions
Review the official 817WP specification sheet and manufacturer user instructions (PDF) for construction, ratings and care. See the manufacturer's product page and California Proposition 65 warning.
