SHOWA 257 Cut Resistant Gloves A7
The SHOWA 257 is a cut resistant coated glove designed for hand protection in demanding environments. It features a Kevlar knit shell with a foam nitrile palm coating that delivers ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A7 performance. The finished hem and knit construction provide a secure fit for general purpose tasks requiring high cut resistance.
Workers needing A7 cut protection and grip
These gloves suit operators handling sharp metal, glass or ceramics where maximum cut resistance is required. The foam nitrile coating enhances grip in light oil and dry conditions. Buyers who need insulated gloves for thermal hazards or chemical permeation resistance should look at alternative protective equipment designed for those specific risks.
ANSI 105 A7 and EN 388 4X42F ratings
The decisive specification is the dual certification to ANSI 105 Cut Level A7 and EN 388 4X42F, confirming the highest cut resistance tier under the ANSI standard. This rating determines whether the glove meets the safety requirement for the intended application.

Questions about this item
How long do the Kevlar fibres maintain A7 cut resistance under continuous heavy abrasion?
The gloves are rated ANSI/ISEA Cut Level A7 and EN 388 4X42F, so the Kevlar knit retains its cut performance until the foam nitrile coating wears through at Abrasion Level 4.
Do the gloves become hot or sweaty during an all-day shift?
The single-dip foam nitrile coating covers only the palm, leaving the Kevlar back open for airflow, which reduces heat build-up during extended wear.
What other PPE is required to use these gloves safely?
They meet ANSI 105 and EN 388 standards for hand protection only; any additional eye, hearing or body protection must be selected separately for the task.
