About this product
A 12 layer chainsaw stopper patch on the back of the left hand.
UHMWPE stopper fabric tested to EN 381-7 class 1 at 20 metres per second, goat leather palms rated EN 388 level 2 for abrasion, and an extended cuff that keeps sawdust out.
Chainsaw gloves with 100 per cent UHMWPE stopper fabric patches inside the back of the left hand, in 12 layers.
The listing states the patch is tested to EN 381-7, class 1, at 20 metres per second, which is the standard chainsaw glove test.
The palms are premium goat leather, which the listing rates at EN 388 level 2 for abrasion under 600 circles.
The back is high-visibility orange stretch spandex, so the glove is breathable and you can see your hands.
Textured PVC palm patches add durability where the saw handle sits.
The cuff is extended to keep sawdust out, and the fingers are 3D pre-curved for dexterity.
Chainsaw gloves are not simply thick gloves. The protection is a patch of UHMWPE fabric, which is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, layered on the back of the left hand. If the chain touches it, the fibres pull out and jam the sprocket, which stops the chain in a fraction of a second.
The left hand is the one that gets protected because that is the hand on the front handle, in the path of the bar. This pair has 12 layers there, and the listing states the patch is tested to EN 381-7 class 1 at 20 metres per second.
The palms are goat leather, which is thin, strong and does not blunt your feel for the saw. The listing rates it at EN 388 level 2 for abrasion under 600 circles. Textured PVC patches sit where the handle wears the glove.
The back is high-visibility orange stretch spandex, so the glove breathes and flexes and you can see your hands against the timber. The fingers are 3D pre-curved, which means the glove is already the shape of a hand holding something.
Storage matters with cut-resistant fabric. Keep them out of direct sunlight, in a ventilated dry place, away from alkaline substances, corrosives, fire and heat. Those are the listing's own instructions and they are there because UV and chemicals degrade the fibres you are relying on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do chainsaw gloves actually work?
The stopper patch is made of long UHMWPE fibres. When the chain catches it, the fibres pull out in a bundle and jam the drive sprocket, stopping the chain.
Why is only the left hand protected?
The left hand holds the front handle and sits in the path of the bar. That is the hand a kickback reaches, and it is the standard design for chainsaw gloves.
What standard are they tested to?
The listing states EN 381-7, class 1, at 20 metres per second, for the stopper patch.
What does class 1 mean?
It is the chain speed the patch was tested at. Class 1 is 20 metres per second. Higher classes are tested at higher speeds.
Are the palms cut resistant too?
The palms are goat leather rated EN 388 level 2 for abrasion. The chainsaw protection is the patch on the back of the left hand, not the palm.
What sizes do you stock?
Medium, Large and X-Large, each sold as a pack of one pair.
Will I still be able to feel the saw?
Goat leather is thin and the fingers are 3D pre-curved, so dexterity is good for a protective glove.
Do they keep sawdust out?
The cuff is extended for that. It is not sealed, so fine dust still finds a way in over a long day.
Are they waterproof?
No. For wet and chemical work, the waterproof work gloves on this site are the PVC option.
Can I wash them?
The listing gives storage instructions rather than washing ones. Brush them off and air them. Do not machine wash a glove whose protection depends on its fibres.
How should I store them?
Out of direct sunlight, in a ventilated dry place, away from alkaline substances, corrosives, fire and heat. UV and chemicals degrade the stopper fabric.
Do they replace chainsaw trousers or boots?
No. Gloves protect hands. Legs and feet need their own chainsaw-rated gear.
Can I use them after the chain has touched the patch?
No. Once the stopper fabric has done its job it is spent. Replace the gloves.
Are they suitable for arborist work?
The listing names logging, lumbering, cutting, felling and forest work. Whether they suit climbing work is a call for your competent person.
Can I use them for other tools?
The listing names metalworking, hand tools, power tools and DIY as well.
Are they high visibility?
The back is high-visibility orange, and the listing lists high visibility as a special feature. That is not the same as certified hi-vis clothing.
What if the size is wrong?
Return within 15 days in the original packaging for exchange or refund. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return.
Do they meet a New Zealand standard?
The listing quotes EN standards, which are European. It does not claim AS/NZS certification. Ask us if your workplace requires it.
How long do they last?
Until the leather wears through, the patch is damaged, or the storage rules have not been followed. Inspect them before each use.
Are they warm?
They are not insulated. The spandex back breathes, which is the opposite priority.
Is the pair symmetrical?
No. Only the left glove carries the chainsaw stopper patch.
Can I buy left gloves separately?
Not as listed. Contact us if you need singles.
Can I get them for a crew?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with sizes and quantities.
Is there a warranty?
They carry the consumer guarantees of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Prices are in New Zealand dollars.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in New Zealand on orders of $100 or more. Under $100 it is a flat $25. Express delivery is $25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Every price on this site is in New Zealand dollars, and the only thing added to your total is delivery if your order is under $100.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase. The item needs to be in its original packaging and you need your receipt or order confirmation. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
