Armor Core™™ Needlestick resistant material is a proprietary woven blend of yarn that creates a single layer of protection allowing gloves to be lighter and more dexterous than competitor fabrics.
Multiple layers of materials can become stiff and uncomfortable when used, creating fatigue and reducing use over time.
ArmorCore's flexible woven technology provides a versatile needlestick barrier that can be designed for uses in ways competitor materials struggle to achieve and resulting in more needlestick protection coverage areas wrapping the hand.
FIT GUIDE:
This heat forming process is highly recommended before use.
Following these steps will allow the materials within the gloves to form together and also to the contours of your hand, making for optimal and personalized fit.
Put your new gloves inside an old t-shirt and tie so they don't fall out.
Toss in clothes dryer for 15 min on high temp. DO NOT COOL! They need to be warm for the forming process!
Remove gloves immediately from dryer.
Quickly put gloves on and securely latch velcro closures.
Clench fists together tightly and hold this position for 2 minutes.
Next, use the shaft portion of a screwdriver to firmly press into each finger gusset, holding for approximately 10 seconds.
Adjust fingers as needed so they form straight.
While still warm, tightly grasp a 3/4" pip or broom handle. Hold position for one minute. This will help form the palm.
You are done and ready to work! These steps can be repeated if necessary.
With a little use, these gloves will work even better! Like fine wine, they get better with age.
