MAGID Griffin Gear ANSI A2 Polyurethane Coated Work Gloves - Durable

Our review of the MAGID Griffin Gear ANSI A2 Polyurethane Coated Work Gloves finds them to be a practical, budget-friendly option for basic cut protection and general hand tasks. These size 10/XL gloves are supplied in a 72-pair pack, making them suitable for teams, shops, or restocking a worksite. The single biggest reason to buy is the balance of a 15-gauge Hyperon shell that provides ANSI A2 cut protection while remaining breathable and flexible, combined with a polyurethane palm that preserves dexterity and improves grip in wet, dry, or oily conditions.

Key Features

• 15-Gauge Hyperon Shell: A lightweight, breathable shell offers ANSI level A2 cut protection while staying flexible enough for precision handling and extended wear.
• Polyurethane Palm Coating: The thin palm coating maintains tactility and enhances grip across wet, dry, and oily surfaces without adding bulk that reduces movement.
• ANSI Performance Ratings: The gloves deliver ANSI abrasion level 4 and ANSI puncture level 2 resistance, improving durability for general work tasks.
• Color-Coded Cut Shield: A color-coded shield graphic on the back gives a quick visual indication of cut level to simplify glove selection and safety compliance.
• Knit Wrist: A stretchy knit wrist makes the gloves easy to put on and take off while providing a secure fit that stays in place during routine tasks.
• Value Pack: Supplied as 72 pairs, these gloves are geared toward programs that need affordable, no-frills protective handwear in bulk.

Who It's For

These gloves are best for warehouse workers, assemblers, maintenance crews, and general laborers who need basic cut resistance plus a good grip without sacrificing feel. The lightweight 15-gauge shell and polyurethane palm suit tasks that require repeated handling of small parts, light fabrication, or material handling where fine dexterity is useful.

Those who need heavy-duty cut resistance, thermal protection, or chemical resistance should look elsewhere; these are intended as economical, everyday work gloves rather than specialized safety gloves for high-risk cutting or extreme environments.
