FAQ
Armor Guys FAQ
Clear answers for safety managers, procurement teams, distributors, and buyers evaluating industrial hand protection.
Products
What are Kyorene gloves?
Kyorene gloves are Armor Guys graphene-enhanced glove lines designed to balance cut protection, dexterity, comfort, and grip.
Which glove should I choose first?
Start with the hazard, required cut level, coating environment, sizing, and worker trial feedback before choosing a product line.
Can Armor Guys support multiple departments?
Yes. Different departments can use different SKUs based on cut risk, oil exposure, dexterity, touchscreen needs, and durability.
Do all products have the same cut rating?
No. Cut ratings vary by SKU, so buyers should review the product page, spec data, and documents for the specific glove.
Compliance And Standards
What is ANSI/ISEA 105?
ANSI/ISEA 105 is a U.S. standard used to classify hand protection performance, including cut resistance levels.
What is EN 388?
EN 388 is a European mechanical protection rating used to compare abrasion, cut, tear, puncture, and ISO cut performance.
Should buyers review both ANSI and EN 388?
Yes. U.S. programs often use ANSI cut levels, while global or European-facing programs often need EN 388 data as well.
Where can procurement find documents?
The document hub lists current catalogs, workbooks, selection indexes, certification resources, and technical downloads.
Are certifications the same for every glove?
No. Certifications and ratings are SKU-specific, so teams should confirm the exact document for the exact product.
Sizing And Fit
Why does glove fit matter?
Fit affects dexterity, grip, fatigue, and whether workers keep gloves on during the task.
Should one facility stock multiple sizes?
Yes. Most facilities need a range of sizes even when they standardize on a smaller number of SKUs.
How should a team run a glove trial?
Give workers the correct size range, test during real tasks, and collect feedback on grip, fatigue, dexterity, and removal reasons.
What is a sign that a glove is too large?
Common signs include fingertip bunching, poor tool control, slipping, and workers removing gloves for detailed work.
What is a sign that a glove is too tight?
Common signs include pressure points, hand fatigue, reduced range of motion, and discomfort during long shifts.
Care And Replacement
Can all gloves be laundered?
No. Laundering depends on the specific liner, coating, contamination, and SKU-level instructions.
When should gloves be removed from service?
Remove gloves when cuts, holes, coating breakdown, contamination, or loss of grip affects safety or control.
Why track replacement intervals?
Replacement intervals help procurement compare total cost, cost per wear, and which tasks consume gloves fastest.
Can care practices affect glove life?
Yes. Proper storage, inspection, and cleaning can extend useful life when they match the product instructions.
Should damaged gloves be reused?
No. Damaged gloves should be removed from service when protection, grip, or fit is compromised.
Ordering And Samples
How do I request samples?
Use the request sample page with your company, role, industry, SKU interest, and expected annual volume.
Who should request samples?
Safety managers, EHS teams, procurement managers, and distributors evaluating gloves for real programs should request samples.
Can procurement ask for bulk pricing?
Yes. Procurement teams can use the contact path to request pricing guidance, product help, or distributor support.
Does Armor Guys sell through distributors?
Armor Guys supports distributor workflows and links to distributor resources from the site footer and resource paths.
What information helps speed up recommendations?
Industry, task, hazard, current glove, cut level, annual volume, and replacement issues help narrow the right SKU.
Documents And Distributor Support
What documents should a safety team review first?
Start with the product catalog, selection index, product knowledge workbook, and any SKU-specific spec sheet or certificate required for the application.
Can Armor Guys provide SKU-specific documents?
Yes. If a needed spec sheet, certificate, or test report is not listed in the document hub, contact Armor Guys with the product line or SKU.
Where is the distributor portal?
The distributor portal is linked from the site footer and remains the best destination for distributor-specific resources and account workflows.
Can distributors request product support?
Yes. Distributors can use the contact path to request product guidance, documentation, sample support, or help routing an end-customer requirement.
What helps Armor Guys route a document request?
Include the SKU, product line, industry, required standard, buyer role, and whether the request is for safety review, procurement review, or distributor support.
