Aura – The tough glove for ultra-tough environments

22 October 2024

WORKING IN industry brings with it some really tough physical challenges, not least for hands.

When handling metal, glass, masonry, plastic and many other materials with sharp edges and/or rough surfaces, it’s vital to have the correct hand protection. The tougher the job, the more robust the hand protection must be. However, dexterity, freedom of movement and comfort are equally important.

A tougher glove with excellent dexterity and grip…

Aura was developed because the Technologists at MCR Safety recognised that standard coated gloves were often unable to cope with some extreme hazards faced in ultra-tough environments. They also identified the need for a tougher glove that could still offer excellent dexterity and grip.

The Aura glove appeals to a multitude of different end-users across many industries including (but not limited to) Glass, Automotive Manufacturing, Metal Presswork, Waste & Recycling, Construction, Engineering, Aerospace and Oil & Gas.

Highest possible level of cut and abrasion resistance…

It’s a seamless, dipped glove constructed from technically blended yarn with a protective leather palm and integral thumb / forefinger reinforcement.

With an EN388 score of 4X44F, Aura offers the highest possible level of cut and abrasion resistance. The split leather palm is extremely durable and provides not only protection but also reliable grip. The glove shell includes additional robust reinforcement in the critical wear area between thumb and forefinger. Protection is even extended up the wrist with an extra-long elasticated cuff providing a comfortable and snug fit.

Different options for different tasks…

There are three versions of Aura with different levels of leather coverage. The original version has palm and finger coverage leaving the very tips of the fingers leather-free for added dexterity. Aura was then further developed by MCR with full finger coverage for extra protection and palm leather coverage only for more freedom of movement in the fingers.  You can see all three versions here:
