At Armorppe, we manufacture reliable EN388 2003 cut resistant level 2 gloves designed for the diverse needs of the European industrial market. While the 2016 standards are gaining ground, many European facilities still rely on the proven Coup Test (Index 2.5) for general-purpose light protection. As an experienced manufacturer, we provide a stable factory-direct supply for procurement officers looking to bulk buy cost-effective safety gear. Our Level 2 gloves feature durable 13-gauge liners, offering excellent dexterity and abrasion resistance for low-risk environments where comfort and flexibility are paramount.
