High Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) has a tensile strength 15 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. Gloves made with HPPE are lightweight, comfortable and abrasion- and cut-resistant. Tests have shown that gloves made with HPPE fibers have up to 20 times the abrasion resistance of gloves made with spun Aramid yarns. The CORDOVA-brand Halo™ glove features a white, 13-gauge HPPE shell and white polyurethane (PU) palm coating. It offers an A2 cut level.
