What does the EN 388 rating mean on these gloves?

EN 388 is the European standard for mechanical risks. It rates resistance to abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture, so you can compare these gloves with other rated work gloves.

Are these gloves good for driving?

Yes. The driver cut is designed for grip and feel on a steering wheel and controls. The leather also protects the hands during loading and handling.

Do they work for fine, detailed tasks?

Not really. Leather driver gloves favor durability and grip over fingertip sensitivity. For small parts and precision work, a thinner synthetic glove fits better.

How should I care for leather work gloves?

Keep them dry and let them air out after use. A leather conditioner helps stop the leather drying and cracking, and cleaning off dirt and oils extends their life.

Are they cut-resistant enough for sharp material?

Check the cut score in the EN 388 marking. Leather drivers are usually aimed at abrasion and general handling, not high cut risk, so use a rated cut glove for blades and sharp edges.
