Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Radians RWG603 glove a good choice for jobs that need both cut and impact protection, like construction, oil & gas, or metal fabrication?
Yes. The Radians RWG603 is a cut-and-impact work glove rated ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A5 and ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Level 2, so it defends against both sharp edges and back-of-hand impacts — a combination many standard cut gloves lack. The cut resistance comes from a 13-gauge Salt-and-Pepper HPPE shell reinforced with fiberglass, while hi-vis TPR (thermoplastic rubber) overlays on the back of the hand and knuckles absorb impact and add visibility. A red sandy foam nitrile palm grips in wet or dry conditions. Radians lists it for Construction, Metal Fabrication, Oil & Gas / Petrochem, Mining, Sheet Metal Handling, Glass Cutting, and Material Handling. For sharp-edge work where impact is also a hazard, it's a strong pick.
What cut rating and safety standards does the Radians RWG603 glove meet?
The Radians RWG603 meets ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Cut Level A5 (tested to a cutting load of 2570 grams), with ANSI Abrasion Level 5 and ANSI Puncture Level 5. It is also tested to EN 388:2003 with a rating of 4 5 4 4 — Abrasion 4, Blade Cut 5, Tear 4, Puncture 4 (an EN 388 cut rating of 5) — and carries ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Level 2 for back-of-hand impact protection.
What does the EN 388 rating 4 5 4 4 mean on the Radians RWG603 glove?
The EN 388:2003 code 4 5 4 4 on the Radians RWG603 rates four mechanical hazards, where a higher digit is better: Abrasion = 4, Blade Cut = 5 (highest), Tear = 4 (highest), and Puncture = 4. So the glove delivers top-tier blade-cut and tear resistance with strong abrasion and puncture resistance. Separately, on the U.S. scale it is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A5 (Abrasion 5, Puncture 5) — note ANSI and EN 388 use different scales, which is why the abrasion figures differ.
What is the Radians RWG603 glove made of?
The Radians RWG603 uses a 13-gauge Salt-and-Pepper HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene) shell reinforced with fiberglass for ANSI A5 cut resistance, finished with a high-visibility red sandy foam nitrile palm coating for grip and abrasion protection in wet or dry conditions. The back of the hand carries hi-vis TPR (thermoplastic rubber) overlays for impact and knuckle protection, and the shell is water-repellent treated. It uses a seamless comfort cuff for an all-day fit.
What are the TPR overlays on the Radians RWG603, and how much impact protection do they provide?
The TPR overlays are molded thermoplastic rubber pads on the back of the hand, fingers, and knuckles of the Radians RWG603. They absorb and dissipate blows from tools, pipes, and dropped objects, and are rated ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Level 2 — the middle tier of the impact standard (Level 1 lowest, Level 3 highest). The overlays are hi-vis colored, so they also boost hand visibility on the job. This is why the RWG603 suits impact-prone trades like oil & gas, mining, and heavy material handling, on top of its A5 cut protection.
Does the Radians RWG603 glove grip well in wet or dry conditions?
Yes. The Radians RWG603 has a high-visibility red sandy foam nitrile palm coating that provides a strong grip and abrasion protection in both wet and dry conditions. The sandy (textured) finish channels away liquids for a secure hold on oily or wet parts and tools, which is why Radians lists it for oil & gas, automotive, metal fabrication, and material handling.
What sizes does the Radians RWG603 glove come in and how does it fit?
The Radians RWG603 is available in five sizes, S through 2XL (S/M/L/XL/XXL). Each size has a color-coded cuff hem (Small green, Medium brown/coffee, Large yellow, XL gray, 2XL navy blue) so crews can identify sizes at a glance. A seamless comfort cuff and 13-gauge knit give a snug, flexible fit while the TPR overlays add back-of-hand protection.
Can I buy the Radians RWG603 glove as a single pair or by the dozen?
Yes. Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) sells the Radians RWG603 both as a single pair (SKU RWG603L-Ea) and as a dozen pack (SKU RWG603L-DZ), in sizes S–2XL, in Salt-N-Pepper with a hi-vis red palm and green TPR. Orders qualify for free shipping. Buying by the dozen is the usual choice for outfitting a crew.
Is ANSI A5 cut protection enough, and how strong is the Radians RWG603's A5 rating?
ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A5 covers high cut hazards — the ANSI scale runs A1 (lowest) to A9 (highest), and A5 means the glove withstood a cutting load of 2200–2999 grams (the RWG603 tested at 2570 g). That suits demanding work with sharp sheet metal, glass, and fabricated parts. A5 sits above the more common A2–A4 gloves, so the RWG603 gives robust cut protection while remaining a coated, dexterous glove — and unlike most cut gloves it also adds ANSI 138 Impact Level 2 back-of-hand protection.
What's the difference between the Radians RWG603 (A5, impact) and the RWG555 (A4) and RWG533 (A2) AXIS gloves — which should I choose?
All three are Radians foam-nitrile-coated HPPE gloves, but they climb in cut protection and the RWG603 adds impact protection. The RWG533 is ANSI Cut Level A2 (18-gauge, most dexterous, moderate cut tasks). The RWG555 AXIS is ANSI Cut Level A4 (13-gauge HPPE with fiberglass, higher cut risk). The RWG603 is ANSI Cut Level A5 (13-gauge HPPE with fiberglass, tested to 2570 g) plus ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Level 2 TPR overlays — the only one of the three with dedicated back-of-hand impact protection. Choose the RWG603 when you face high cut hazards and impact risk (oil & gas, mining, heavy fabrication); step down to the RWG555 or RWG533 when impact isn't a concern and you want a lighter glove.
What makes the Radians RWG603 stand out from other cut-resistant gloves?
The Radians RWG603 combines ANSI A5 cut protection (13-gauge HPPE reinforced with fiberglass, tested to 2570 g) with ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Level 2 back-of-hand protection from hi-vis TPR overlays — a dual cut-plus-impact package many cut gloves don't offer. Its red sandy foam nitrile palm grips securely in wet or dry conditions, the shell is water-repellent treated, and color-coded size hems let a crew sort sizes at a glance. It also scores top-tier EN 388 blade-cut (5) and tear (4). Backed by U.S. Patent 9,241,519, it's built for serious cut and impact hazards while staying a flexible, coated work glove.
