Description
The Laatu fitter’s glove 3121X is an extremely thin work glove made with an 18 ga knit gauge, designed for tasks that require high fingertip feel. The back material of the glove is a blend of nylon, elastane and polyester fibres, which guarantees a seamless, flexible construction. The body material ensures breathability and prevents excessive hand sweating during long work sessions.
The palm of the glove is dipped in smooth polyurethane (PU), which provides improved grip and abrasion resistance without compromising touch sensitivity. The density of the PU coating is adjusted to keep it electrically conductive, which allows seamless use of capacitive touchscreens without taking the glove off. This feature reduces work interruptions in environments that use digital devices.
In terms of protection, the fitter’s glove 3121X has been tested under the EN 388:2016 standard, achieving the protection level 3121X. This rating means level 3 abrasion resistance (on a scale of 1-4), which extends the life of the product under mechanical stress. Cut protection is level 1, tear resistance level 2 and puncture protection level 1, which defines the glove as suitable for light mechanical risks.
The wrist is secured by an elastic knit cuff that closes the opening of the glove tightly against the wrist, stopping dust and dirt getting inside the glove. The material combination of the glove is designed to be low-linting, which extends its suitability to assembly and installation work that requires cleanliness. The product is available in sizes 7/S, 8/M, 9/L, 10/XL and 11/2XL.
Intended use and suitability:
The thin construction and PU coating of the glove allow it to be used in environments that require precision, where the feel of a bare hand is essential for the result of the work.
- Precision mechanics assembly: The 18 ga construction allows small components and screws to be handled without tweezers or special tools.
- Digital logistics: The electrically conductive touchscreen feature allows handheld computers, scanners and industrial displays to be operated without interruption.
- Quality assurance work: The low-linting surface material stops fibres transferring to the products and surfaces being inspected.
Package contents:
- 1 pair (individual pack)
Features:
The technical solutions of the glove are optimised to balance ergonomics and functionality.
- Touchscreen compatibility: Allows capacitive touchscreens to be controlled without taking the glove off.
- 18 gauge knit density: Provides a material thickness among the thinnest on the market for maximum fingertip feel.
- PU coating: The smooth polyurethane palm provides grip and level 3 abrasion resistance under the EN388 standard.
- Seamless construction: Prevents chafing where skin and material meet during long-term use.
- Elastic knit cuff: Keeps the glove firmly in place and stops particles getting inside the glove.
- Low-linting: The synthetic fibre construction does not shed material onto the surfaces being handled.

Laatu fitter’s glove 3121X instructions for use:
Inspect the gloves visually before use. Make sure the knit has no holes and the coating has no wear that could weaken the protective properties of the product. Choose the glove size according to the measurements of your hand (sizes 7-11) to make sure the cuff sits correctly around the wrist and fingertip feel is kept. Put the glove on by pulling it by the elastic cuff until the fingers reach seamlessly right to the tips of the glove. When using touchscreens, press with the coated part of the fingertips. Take the gloves off by pulling gently from the fingertips to prevent the material stretching too much.
Warnings:
Physical limitations and safety risks of using the product.
- Mechanical risks: The product only provides level 1 cut protection (EN 388). Do not use it in tasks with a high risk of cuts or handling sharp blades.
- Chemical risks: The glove does not protect against liquids, chemicals or oils. The PU coating is for mechanical protection only.
- Thermal risks: Not tested against heat or fire. The materials can melt when exposed to high temperatures or open flames.
- Entanglement hazard: Do not use the glove near rotating machines or blades because of the risk of getting caught.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What protection rating is the Laatu TouchPro 2045 fitter’s glove 3121X certified to?
The glove is CE approved and meets protection rating 3121X under EN 388:2016, which means level 3 abrasion resistance.
Do these gloves work with capacitive touchscreens?
Yes, the coating and material structure of the gloves are designed to be electrically conductive, so the touchscreens of smartphones, industrial terminals and tablets can be used without taking the glove off.
What does an 18 gauge knit mean?
The gauge number gives the yarn density. 18 gauge means a dense and exceptionally thin knit, which gives a very precise, bare-hand-like fingertip feel for precision mechanics tasks.
Recycling instructions:
Used gloves must be sorted into mixed waste or incinerable waste, because the combination of polyurethane and synthetic fibres (nylon, polyester, elastane) prevents textile recycling. Make sure the glove has not been exposed to hazardous substances; gloves contaminated with hazardous waste must be disposed of in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations.
Sort the packaging into cardboard collection.
