HexArmor Cut and Heat Resistant Impact Protection Gloves - Compact

In this review the HexArmor Chrome SLT Series 4060 gloves are judged as a specialist safety tool for workers who need robust cut, impact and heat protection without sacrificing dexterity. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 360-degree ANSI/ISEA Level A5 cut resistance with sewn-in back-of-hand impact guards, which together protect from sharp edges and smash injuries during heavy industrial tasks while still offering the familiar feel of goatskin leather on the palm.

Key Features

• 360-degree cut protection: An interior aramid layer provides full-hand ANSI/ISEA Level A5 cut resistance so users can handle sheet metal and sharp parts with confidence.
• Impact guards: Sewn-in, hi-vis back-of-hand guards dissipate forceful blows across a large area to reduce smash and crushing injuries.
• Goatskin palm: A traditional goatskin leather palm maintains a firm grip in dry or light oil situations while offering a comfortable, familiar feel.
• Heat and arc flash protection: Gloves protect from contact heat to EN407 Level 2 and provide arc flash protection to HRC Level 4 ATPV:46/Cal/cm2 for higher-heat exposures.
• Secure fit: SlipFit cuff with a hook-and-loop closure helps keep the glove in place for extended wear and easy adjustments on the job.

Who It's For

The Chrome SLT Series 4060 is aimed at metalworkers, maintenance technicians, and anyone who must combine high cut resistance with impact protection, such as fabricators, welders, and heavy equipment operators. It is also suited to environments where occasional contact heat or arc flash risk exists and a sturdy leather palm is preferred.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers needing touchscreen sensitivity or sustained chemical resistance; the goatskin leather palm and heavy aramid interior favor mechanical protection over fine touchscreen use or chemical barrier performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-level, full-hand cut resistance that covers fingers and palm for handling sharp metals.
• Sewn-in back-of-hand impact guards that spread blows and reduce localized trauma.
• Comfortable goatskin leather palm that balances grip and workmanship for long shifts.
• Meets contact heat and arc flash protection standards for more hazardous tasks.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability at seams, so heavy repeated fingertip abrasion may show wear over time.
• Not optimized for touchscreen use or prolonged wet/chemical exposure due to leather construction.

Our Verdict

The HexArmor Chrome SLT Series 4060 is a solid choice for professionals who need combined cut, impact and heat protection without giving up a dependable leather grip. It represents good value for industrial and maintenance roles where sharp edges and occasional heat or arc hazards are present, though workers requiring touchscreen use or chemical barriers should consider alternate solutions.
