Don't Be Ungloved When Operating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles!
The drone market is exploding and according to the FAA, it is expected that there will be over 1.6 million drones or unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) by the year 2022 being applied in commercial applications and intelligence from the field. 
While drones have much added benefit, most people do not adequately inform themselves about the use of drones and do not realize what can happen if things turn and go wrong.
Simply put, aerial drones are not toys and there are a lot of things to consider when handling these, otherwise an accident can happen leading to deep lacerations, severed body parts and worst case scenario, even kill if they happen to cut a main artery in the wrist. For this reason, many safety directors are mandating the use of cut-resistant hand protection when operating drones.
With so many different gloves being offered, below are a few suggested work safety gloves for your consideration. These industrial work gloves were selected based on tactility, breathability, grip, cut level and touchscreen compatibility that allows operators to interact with touch devices without removing their gloves.
- +Majestic® Glove's 31-1365 Cut-Less 18-gauge Kevlar® Glove with Micro Foam Nitrile Palm Coating offers remarkable cut level A4 protection, touchscreen compatibility, exceptional grip, fantastic dexterity, tactility and wear durability. The all black construction masks dirt, grease and more.
- Offering 360° cut level A4 protection for the hands, these hot selling, hi-visibility +S18TAGOFN TenActiv™ brand gloves from Superior Glove® feature a tactile and snug fitting 18-gauge touchscreen compatible hi-viz orange composite shell with matching foam nitrile coating. These TenActiv S18TAGOFN Safety Gloves are easy to see from a distance making them perfect for hand signaling. They're also easy to spot if accidently dropped in the field.
- If you are seeking a tactile, cut-resistant glove for wet applications or conditions, then check out the hot selling +16-VRX380 G-Tek® VR-X™ gloves from Protective Industrial Products (PIP®).

These ultra light weight, snug-fitting 21-gauge seamless knit gloves by Superior Glove® are the closest you can get to working barehanded without sacrificing cut, puncture and abrasion protection, but this palm coated touchscreen compatible seamless knit work safety glove provides ANSI A9 protection (the highest rated level of resistance) for the entire hand against extreme cut hazards.
- Honorable Mention: +SHOWA's 381 Grip Glove is not only extremely lightweight, it's highly breathable and ULTRA comfortable to wear.
