Swift Water Rescue Gloves

The Cestus 2006-M gloves are built for professionals operating in fast-moving, cold water environments. They address the specific hazards of hidden debris and impact risks encountered during search and rescue missions. The design originates from rescue personnel who required reliable hand protection for high-stakes situations.

ANSI Cut A5 Palm Protection

The palm uses a Slashweave layer rated to ANSI Cut Level A5 to minimise laceration injuries from sharp objects in the water. This cut resistance is the primary specification determining suitability for environments where sharp debris is a constant threat. Without this rating the glove would not meet the baseline safety requirement for this class of rescue work.

Impact Shields And Thermal Buffer

Flexible TPR shields guard fingers and pinch points while a polycarbonate shell protects knuckles against crushing impacts. High-visibility neoprene provides a thermal buffer when wet and wind resistance when dry. The Skid-X palm delivers grip control in saturated conditions. The glove does not address needs for dry-only tactical work or scenarios requiring touchscreen compatibility.

Questions about this item

What does the ANSI Cut A5 rating mean when I'm wearing these gloves in the water?

How does the Skid-X palm perform when handling wet ropes or equipment?

The Skid-X coarse palm is designed for grip control in wet conditions, giving you traction on slippery surfaces during swift water rescues.
