  • Cut resistant sleeves

    I work in an industry that handles lots of raw steel & uses hand knives frequently; as such we require these affected employees to wear kevlar cut resistant sleeves. The sleeves work great, we haven't had anyone cut since we started using them about 6 years ago. My problem is the sleeves are uncomfortable, due to very little air flow. I need a sleeve that stretches from someone's wrist to above the elbow & is possibly a mesh material that will allow the skin to breathe better. I've done lots of searches in Grainger and using Google, but there doesn't seem to be a better product out there. I once saw a mesh sleeve that was plastic material (I guess), but that was something that only covers the forearm, I need something much longer. Any ideas? We are located on the Gulf Coast & the summers are very hot, with lots of humidity.
