Revolutionary impact protection for hands
The uvex safety group is gearing up for the second half of 2025 with plenty of exciting new product highlights. Among them are the new HexArmor impact protection gloves, the HexArmor Helix 3004IMP, 3013IMP and 3014IMP for heavy-duty applications, which benefit from a truly exceptional technology.
i2™. This abbreviation is more than just a short name – it’s a symbol of HexArmor’s relentless drive for innovation and cutting-edge technology. But the i does not stand for innovation – it means impact protection. The American glove specialist HexArmor, part of the uvex safety group, is fully committed to its mission of delivering products that embody innovation and protection. This dedication is evident in the development of the i2™ range – where advanced technology meets uncompromising safety. Take, for example, the new HexArmor Helix 3004 IMP, 3013IMP and 3014IMP safety gloves, featuring i2™ technology on the backs of the hands.
The key to this technology lies in the small impact hexagons made of the lightest and most flexible material in the industry, delivering uncompromising performance. They ensure breathability while reducing material use, helping to minimise production waste. Their small size and individual shape allow a great degree of dexterity. Never have safety gloves for heavy-duty applications been this light, this flexible or this refined. What’s more, there’s now also impact protection available for more light-duty precision work, with models meeting Impact Protection Level 2 as per ANSI/ISEA 138.
The new HexArmor Helix 3013IMP with its flexible polyurethane coating on the palm is suitable for tasks such as precision work within the automotive industry, within mechanical and plant engineering and – thanks to cut protection level F – within metalworking as well. The HexArmor Helix 3014IMP has a somewhat more robust SandyGrip NBR coating; its good oil grip makes it ideal for use within mining and the oil and gas industry. What both models share is a high level of wearer comfort thanks to the ultra-thin, extremely cut-resistant 18-gauge knitted fabric with 15% recycled nylon – a first for this protection class.
With the HexArmor Helix 3004IMP, expertise from both sides of the Atlantic comes together for the first time in a single product. The renowned bamboo fibres from the popular uvex Bamboo range meet HexArmor’s innovative i2 design combining performance with natural comfort and cutting-edge protection.
Anyone wishing to see for themselves and check out additional features such as touchscreen compatibility is welcome to visit the uvex stand at the A+A in Düsseldorf, running from 4 to 7 November. Take a look, try them on and test them out.
