Kevlar® gloves are used for general purpose work applications to provide cut and abrasion resistance, using high performance yarns, to further protect the hands when working with sharp objects. Black color hides dirt and grime so gloves look better longer while offering the same great performance as yellow Kevlar®. Gloves with a polymer coating offer better grip and durability for those tough jobs. The 9178NF features a 13 Gauge black Kevlar® / Synthetic shell with a black nitrile foam coating on the palm and fingertips. DuPont™and Kevlar® are trademarks or registered trademarks of E.I.
