Our team works with clients every day to test and wear this kit on real sites, and we listen to their feedback alongside what people say online and on review sites. We bring it all together so you get clear, honest information to pick the right product for you.
Using our supplier certification data, we screened the certified picks against the EN 388:2016+A1:2018 mechanical code: abrasion (1–4), coup cut (1–5), tear (1–4), puncture (1–4) and the EN ISO 13997 TDM cut letter (A–F) where tested; X means not tested. We also read EN ISO 21420:2020 general requirements (sizing, dexterity 1–5, harmlessness), and on some picks EN 407 heat, EN 511 cold and EN ISO 374-1 Type C chemical splash protection.
Every pick is active and in stock, with clear photos and sizes available. Scores weight review quality (38%, a Bayesian average rating), review volume (17%), our product research (30%: trade bestseller signals, price against the market, colour range and verified standards), photo coverage (8%) and size availability (7%). We only show verified ratings and review counts, with links, we pick no more than two products per brand, and every review summary is written in our own words.
