Protection Technology
Key Features
The KDC5 combines four distinct protection systems into a single glove built for the world's most demanding work environments.
ANSI A7 Cut Resistance
High-performance cut-resistant palm liner guards against sharp edges, wire rope, metal components, and abrasive materials throughout the workday.
KONG® Impact Protection
Flexible TPR guards cover fingers, thumb, knuckles, and the metacarpal region, absorbing and dispersing energy from struck-by and pinch-point incidents.
4-Layer Palm System
Duraclad® and Armortex® layers work together to deliver superior abrasion resistance and extended glove life in the most punishing applications.
Teflon® Treated Shell
DuPont™ Teflon™ technology repels water, oil, and workplace contaminants commonly found in offshore and chemical plant environments.
Extended Neoprene Cuff
Slip-on neoprene cuff provides a secure fit with easy removal, plus additional wrist protection and comfort during extended shifts.
High-Visibility Design
Bright green back-of-hand and high-vis palm improve hand visibility in busy deck environments, congested work zones, and low-light conditions.
