Cestus 3084-XL Impact Gloves Cotton Palm Skid-X Rough Out XL

Built for rope, cable and chain work

The Cestus 3084-XL impact glove is made for workers who handle wire rope, cables and chains on job sites. An oil-resistant cotton palm carries Skid-X grip patches double-stitched with Kevlar thread to maintain control along the rope channel. Flexible TPR shields on the back extend from fingertips to wrist, bending with the fingers while absorbing impacts. A neoprene long cuff covers the wrist and allows the wearer to pull free if the glove catches in machinery or a pinch point.

Pull on and go; check the cuff and stitching

No tools or adjustments are required — simply slide the glove on and secure the neoprene cuff around the wrist. The most common issue is debris or oil building up on the Skid-X patches, which reduces grip until wiped clean. Inspect the Kevlar stitching along the rope channel regularly; abrasion from rough wire rope can wear threads over time. The TPR shields stay flexible in cold conditions, but extreme heat may soften the rubber and lessen impact absorption.

Verify XL fit and task-specific hazards

Confirm that the XL size matches your hand measurements before ordering, as an oversized glove can snag and an undersized one restricts movement. Ensure the oil-resistant palm suits the lubricants or fluids present on your site. The pull-off cuff is designed for entanglement risk, not for chemical immersion or high-voltage electrical work. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.
