Test result preview
According to the manufacturer, the LAUTERSCHUTZ stainless steel cut protection gloves have been specially developed for use in areas where high cut resistance is required, such as in the food industry, metal processing or when handling sharp tools. The gloves offer class F cut protection and are therefore able to withstand even extremely sharp blades. The comfortable fit, which is supported by the breathable and food-safe nature of the materials, is particularly positive. What’s more, the gloves are available in six different sizes, allowing a perfect fit for different hand sizes. An additional cotton glove ensures a comfortable fit and prevents skin irritation.
During the test, however, it was found that the gloves can become slightly damp when worn for long periods, which can lead to a reduced grip. Overall, however, the product offers a high level of safety and comfort, making it a recommended choice for professional users.
Advantages
- Cut protection class F
- Six sizes available

The LAUTERSCHUTZ cut protection glove feels sturdy and functional the first time you hold it. The design is simple, yet appealing and functional, so that the glove not only impresses with its functionality, but also with its visual appeal. The workmanship is very good, all seams and materials look high-quality and cleanly finished. Particularly noteworthy is the stability of the gloves, which is particularly durable thanks to the stainless steel fibres used and the robust cotton glove. Even though no specific sustainability information is available, the use of high-quality materials suggests that the product will last a long time, which leads to a positive overall rating. In combination with the appealing finish, the product makes a very good first impression overall.

In the practical test, the LAUTERSCHUTZ stainless steel cut protection glove completely fulfilled the promised properties. The fit and comfort are excellent, and there are only minimal restrictions on handling, even when worn for long periods. The grip in dry conditions is excellent and there is no risk of slipping, which ensures a high level of safety. The glove also offers good grip in wet conditions, although control is somewhat limited in very wet situations. The heat build-up during prolonged wear is barely noticeable, which makes them even more comfortable to wear. In our cleaning test, the gloves were easy to clean with soap and water, with only a few food residues sticking to the fingertips. Overall, the product lives up to the manufacturer’s advertising promises and is convincing both in practice and in theory.
