The Portwest PU Palm Glove is a lightweight protective glove designed for tasks that require a reasonable degree of hand feel and grip. The polyurethane palm coating provides a close fit that supports precision handling — useful for food preparation, portioning, light assembly work, and general kitchen duties where bare-hand dexterity would otherwise be needed.

These gloves carry CE certification for food safety and offer ANSI/ISEA A1-level cut resistance, which provides a basic level of protection against minor cuts and abrasions during routine handling tasks. They are not intended for tasks involving sharp blades or heavy-duty cutting, but they offer a practical level of protection for general prep work, dishwashing support roles, and front-of-house duties.

Practically, the PU coating keeps the glove thin enough to allow grip on smaller items without the bulk of a heavier work glove, and the breathable knit back helps with comfort during extended wear. Useful features for kitchen environments include:

  • CE certified as food safe for direct food contact use
  • A1 cut resistance rating for everyday prep and handling tasks
  • PU palm coating for grip on smooth and damp surfaces
  • Breathable knit back to reduce hand fatigue during longer shifts
  • Available in multiple sizes to suit different hand sizes across a team

These are a sensible, low-cost addition to a kitchen's PPE stock, particularly where staff are handling packaged goods, portioning, or working in areas where minor cut risk is present but full cut-protection gloves would be overly cumbersome. For environments with higher cut risk — such as butchery or regular blade work — a higher cut-rated glove would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether these are the right glove for your specific tasks or whether a higher-rated option would better suit your team's needs, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these gloves suitable for direct food contact in a commercial kitchen?

Yes, the gloves carry CE food safety certification, making them suitable for use in food preparation and handling roles where direct contact with food occurs. They are a practical choice for general prep tasks, portioning, and similar duties.

What level of cut protection do these gloves offer, and is it enough for kitchen use?

These gloves are rated at ANSI A1 cut resistance, which covers everyday handling tasks and offers protection against minor cuts and abrasions. They are not designed for butchery, heavy blade work, or other tasks where a higher cut level would be appropriate — if your work involves regular use of sharp knives, a higher-rated glove should be considered.

How do I choose the right size for my team?

The gloves are available in medium, large, and extra-large. For a team with varying hand sizes, it is worth stocking across sizes — the close-fitting PU palm means an ill-fitting glove will reduce both grip performance and comfort during longer shifts.
