TekArmor

TekArmor™ is a patented dual steel thread, used in out new Touchsafe range of gloves. TekArmor™ enables us to produce fabrics with incredibly high strength to weight properties.

Use of this fibre within our Touch safe range allows us to manufacture a product which can offer the highest level cut resistance (level F), whilst maintaining maximum dexterity, feel, and comfort.

TekArmor™ has helped us to develop the thinnest cut level F glove, currently available in the UK market* - the 18 gauge Touchsafe Pred Midas!
