Vgo SL8849IPA5 Cut-Resistant Impact Gloves
Cut-resistant work gloves (EN 388 level E / ANSI A5) with EVA palm padding to dampen vibration and TPR impact patches — for brush cutting and clearing.
In short:The Vgo SL8849IPA5 are cut-resistant work gloves rated EN 388 cut level E (ANSI A5), with EVA padding on the palm to reduce vibration, TPR impact patches on the back, synthetic leather palms and a hook-and-loop wrist closure. They are not certified anti-vibration gloves to EN ISO 10819, so the padding eases fatigue but does not replace limiting your exposure time. They suit clearing brambles and handling blades.

What they are
Despite the “anti-vibration” name this page has carried, the gloves on our Amazon.co.uk link are the Vgo SL8849IPA5 — primarily cut-resistant impact gloves. The listing gives EN 388 cut level E (ANSI A5), abrasion level 3, a seamless knitted liner, EVA padding on the palm for vibration reduction, TPR impact patches on the back of the hand, touchscreen fingertips and a hook-and-loop closure. They’re machine washable.
What the padding does — and doesn’t
Palm padding takes some of the buzz out of the handlebar and makes long sessions more comfortable. But these gloves aren’t certified to EN ISO 10819, the standard for anti-vibration gloves, so treat them as “more comfortable than bare hands”, not as a measured reduction. Under UK rules, what protects you from hand-arm vibration is limiting how long you use the machine — the maths is in brush cutter vibration and HAVS.
Where they shine
The cut rating is the real strength. When you’re pulling cut brambles out of the way, changing a blade, or clearing the head of wrapped stems, a level E glove is far better than leather gardening gloves. Always stop the engine and wait for the head to stop before touching it.
Sizing and limitations
Get a snug fit — loose gloves bunch around the throttle and make it harder to let go quickly. When we checked in October 2026 the listing couldn’t be dispatched to our location, so check availability. For other options, see cut-resistant gloves and the best safety gear for brush cutting.
