Glove Testing for Performance Against Flying Glass Shards

Abstract

In this work, cut-resistant gloves were tested against flying glass from a small-scale detonation. A range of gloves were selected with low, medium, and high cut resistance all of varying dexterity. The goal was to determine if gloves with superior dexterity to those with leather palms could still provide protection from flying shards of glass.
