At Armorppe, we manufacture elite ANSI A5 cut resistant gloves engineered for high-stake environments where precision meets extreme hazard. Providing a minimum cut protection of 2200g, our A5 series is the professional choice for industries dealing with heavy metal fabrication, sharp glass plate handling, and high-tension cabling. As a dedicated industrial supplier, we utilize our proprietary Adamas® fiber technology to deliver maximum dorsal and palm safety without the bulkiness of traditional high-cut PPE. For safety directors looking to bulk buy directly from a trusted factory, our wholesale program ensures your workforce is equipped with the highest tier of comfort and EN388/ANSI certified protection.

Essential for handling large-format glass plates and shards during cutting and tempering processes where lower-rated gloves fail.
Provides a formidable barrier against large burrs, sharp stainless steel edges, and jagged metal scrap.
Designed for workers handling sharp-edged metal housings and internal components of large white goods.
High-speed paper edges can cause deep lacerations; our A5 gloves provide the necessary shielding for high-frequency blade and paper handling.
Offers extreme protection against mixed high-risk waste, including sharp rebar, broken glass, and industrial hardware.
The perfect supply for technicians working with sharp galvanized steel ducts and industrial ventilation systems.
ANSI A5 gloves are tested to withstand a cutting load of 2,200 to 2,999 grams. This classification is considered “Extra-High Cut Protection,” making them suitable for some of the most hazardous industrial tasks.
Historically, yes, but not with Armorppe. As a specialized manufacturer, we use 13-gauge and 15-gauge Adamas® fiber technology, which allows our A5 gloves to remain flexible and breathable while providing elite-level protection, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long shifts.
It is important to distinguish the standards. EN388 Level 5 is from the older 2003 “Coup Test.” Under the current EN388:2016 standard, ANSI A5 is roughly equivalent to a Level E. ANSI A5 provides a much more precise measurement for high-risk safety procurement.
Yes. We offer comprehensive OEM and wholesale services. We can customize the coating color, liner color, and print your company logo on our ANSI A5 cut resistant gloves for bulk orders.
If your facility handles raw metal sheets with heavy burrs or large shards of glass regularly, A5 is the safer investment. While A4 is “heavy-duty,” A5 provides that extra margin of safety for extreme laceration risks, ensuring a better ROI by reducing workplace injuries.
Most of our A2 models are designed with conductive fibers, allowing workers to operate warehouse scanners, tablets, and smartphones without removing their gloves, which improves both safety and efficiency in logistics.
