Looking after it

Keep them out of direct sunlight, store them somewhere ventilated and dry, and keep them away from alkaline substances, corrosives, fire and heat.

EN 381-7 Class 112 layer stopper patch, left hand back
EN 388 Level 2 AbrasionPremium goat leather palms
3D Pre-Curved FingersDexterity with the protection on
Extended CuffKeeps sawdust out of the glove

A 12 layer chainsaw stopper patch on the back of the left hand.

UHMWPE stopper fabric tested to EN 381-7 class 1 at 20 metres per second, goat leather palms rated EN 388 level 2 for abrasion, and an extended cuff that keeps sawdust out.

Chainsaw gloves with 100 per cent UHMWPE stopper fabric patches inside the back of the left hand, in 12 layers.

The listing states the patch is tested to EN 381-7, class 1, at 20 metres per second, which is the standard chainsaw glove test.

The palms are premium goat leather, which the listing rates at EN 388 level 2 for abrasion under 600 circles.

The back is high-visibility orange stretch spandex, so the glove is breathable and you can see your hands.

Textured PVC palm patches add durability where the saw handle sits.

The cuff is extended to keep sawdust out, and the fingers are 3D pre-curved for dexterity.

Chainsaw Gloves (Medium (pack of 1))

Chainsaw gloves are not simply thick gloves. The protection is a patch of UHMWPE fabric, which is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, layered on the back of the left hand. If the chain touches it, the fibres pull out and jam the sprocket, which stops the chain in a fraction of a second.

Chainsaw Gloves (Medium (pack of 1))

The left hand is the one that gets protected because that is the hand on the front handle, in the path of the bar. This pair has 12 layers there, and the listing states the patch is tested to EN 381-7 class 1 at 20 metres per second.

Chainsaw Gloves (Medium (pack of 1))

The palms are goat leather, which is thin, strong and does not blunt your feel for the saw. The listing rates it at EN 388 level 2 for abrasion under 600 circles. Textured PVC patches sit where the handle wears the glove.

The back is high-visibility orange stretch spandex, so the glove breathes and flexes and you can see your hands against the timber. The fingers are 3D pre-curved, which means the glove is already the shape of a hand holding something.

Storage matters with cut-resistant fabric. Keep them out of direct sunlight, in a ventilated dry place, away from alkaline substances, corrosives, fire and heat. Those are the listing's own instructions and they are there because UV and chemicals degrade the fibres you are relying on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do chainsaw gloves actually work?

The stopper patch is made of long UHMWPE fibres. When the chain catches it, the fibres pull out in a bundle and jam the drive sprocket, stopping the chain.

Why is only the left hand protected?

The left hand holds the front handle and sits in the path of the bar. That is the hand a kickback reaches, and it is the standard design for chainsaw gloves.

What standard are they tested to?

The listing states EN 381-7, class 1, at 20 metres per second, for the stopper patch.

What does class 1 mean?

It is the chain speed the patch was tested at. Class 1 is 20 metres per second. Higher classes are tested at higher speeds.

Are the palms cut resistant too?

The palms are goat leather rated EN 388 level 2 for abrasion. The chainsaw protection is the patch on the back of the left hand, not the palm.

What sizes do you stock?

Medium, Large and X-Large, each sold as a pack of one pair.

Will I still be able to feel the saw?

Goat leather is thin and the fingers are 3D pre-curved, so dexterity is good for a protective glove.

Do they keep sawdust out?

The cuff is extended for that. It is not sealed, so fine dust still finds a way in over a long day.

Are they waterproof?

No. For wet and chemical work, the waterproof work gloves on this site are the PVC option.

Can I wash them?

The listing gives storage instructions rather than washing ones. Brush them off and air them. Do not machine wash a glove whose protection depends on its fibres.

How should I store them?

Out of direct sunlight, in a ventilated dry place, away from alkaline substances, corrosives, fire and heat. UV and chemicals degrade the stopper fabric.

Do they replace chainsaw trousers or boots?

No. Gloves protect hands. Legs and feet need their own chainsaw-rated gear.

Can I use them after the chain has touched the patch?

No. Once the stopper fabric has done its job it is spent. Replace the gloves.

Are they suitable for arborist work?

The listing names logging, lumbering, cutting, felling and forest work. Whether they suit climbing work is a call for your competent person.

Can I use them for other tools?

The listing names metalworking, hand tools, power tools and DIY as well.

Are they high visibility?

The back is high-visibility orange, and the listing lists high visibility as a special feature. That is not the same as certified hi-vis clothing.

What if the size is wrong?

For most online purchases, tell us within 14 days after delivery if you want to cancel, then return the goods within a further 14 days. You pay change-of-mind return postage. Faulty, damaged or misdescribed goods remain covered by Irish consumer law.

Do they meet a Irish standard?

The listing does not state model-specific certification for Ireland. Request current test documentation and compare it with the hazards and requirements that apply at your workplace before ordering.

How long do they last?

Until the leather wears through, the patch is damaged, or the storage rules have not been followed. Inspect them before each use.

Are they warm?

They are not insulated. The spandex back breathes, which is the opposite priority.

Is the pair symmetrical?

No. Only the left glove carries the chainsaw stopper patch.

Can I buy left gloves separately?

Not as listed. Contact us if you need singles.

Can I get them for a crew?

Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with sizes and quantities.

Is there a warranty?

They carry the statutory rights under Irish consumer law. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.

Is tax added at checkout?

No additional sales tax is added at checkout. Prices are in euro.

How much is delivery?

Delivery is free anywhere in Ireland on orders of €100 or more. Under €100 it is a flat €25. Express delivery is €25 on any order, whatever the total.

How long will my order take?

Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

For most online purchases, tell us within 14 days after delivery if you want to cancel, then return the goods within a further 14 days. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under Irish consumer law are not affected.

What if it arrives damaged?

Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.

How do I decide whether this product is suitable for my workplace?

Compare the listed materials, dimensions and features with your risk assessment and workplace requirements. If a particular certification or test report is required, contact us before ordering so current model-specific documentation can be checked.

Not sure which one you need?

Tell us the job, hazard and any workplace requirements you need to meet, and we will help you narrow the options before you buy. Free delivery across Ireland on orders over €100.
