HexArmor Cut and Heat Resistant Impact Gloves - X-Large

In this review of the HexArmor Chrome SLT 4060 gloves, the bottom line is clear: these X-Large work gloves are built for tradespeople who need high cut resistance and impact protection without sacrificing a traditional leather feel. Reviewers find the standout reason to buy is the 360-degree interior aramid that delivers ANSI/ISEA Level A5 cut resistance across the whole hand while sewn-in hi-vis impact guards reduce smash injuries, making them a practical choice for heavy-duty metalwork, carpentry, and material handling.

Key Features

• 360-degree cut protection: Interior aramid material protects the entire hand to ANSI/ISEA Level A5, guarding against sharp metals and shrapnel in demanding tasks.
• Back-of-hand impact guards: Sewn-in hi-vis guards dissipate force from blows to the back of the hand, reducing the risk of crush injuries on the job.
• Goatskin leather palm: A traditional leather palm gives a firm grip and comfortable hand feel for dry or light oil conditions during extended wear.
• SlipFit cuff with closure: The SlipFit cuff and hook-and-loop closure provide a secure, adjustable fit that's easy to don and remove between tasks.
• Heat and arc flash protection: Hands are protected from contact heat to EN407 Level 2 and arc flash to HRC Level 4 with an ATPV of 46 Cal/cm2.

Who It's For

These X-Large gloves are aimed at technicians, metal fabricators, and construction workers who face sharp edges, pinch hazards, and potential heat or arc flash exposure. The combination of cut, impact, and heat protection makes them suitable for heavy fabrication, saw work, and electrical tasks where both slash and blunt trauma risks exist.

Workers who prioritize fine fingertip dexterity, very small hand sizes, or prolonged immersion in heavy oil should look elsewhere; customers have noted limited dexterity compared with thin knit gloves and some report that the XL sizing can fit more snugly than expected.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent whole-hand cut resistance thanks to the aramid interior, which reduces laceration risk on sharp materials.
• Effective back-of-hand impact protection that spreads force from impacts over a larger area, helping prevent crush injuries.
• Comfortable goatskin leather palm that provides a secure grip in dry or light oil and wears in like traditional work gloves.

Cons

• Dexterity is reduced compared with thinner protective gloves, which can limit fine manipulation in some tasks.
• Some users report seam durability issues in high-abrasion use, so heavy repetitive finger work may show wear sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these gloves suitable for electrical work?
They provide arc flash protection to HRC Level 4 (ATPV 46 Cal/cm2) for certain tasks, but users should follow site electrical safety rules and check specific task requirements.

Do they work in oily conditions?
The goatskin leather palm grips well in dry or light oil, but heavy oil exposure will reduce grip and may call for a different glove type.

How true is the sizing?
Some customers report the XL fits a bit snug; consider sizing up if you prefer looser fit or will wear liners.
