Mcr Safety 9178O Kevlar Cut Sleeve Ansi A5 Hi-viz Orange

Product Description

The MCR SAFETY 9178O is a cut-resistant protective sleeve designed to guard the forearm and lower arm during tasks where sharp edges, blades, or abrasive surfaces present a laceration risk. Constructed from Kevlar, the sleeve meets ANSI Cut Level A5, providing substantial cut resistance for demanding work environments. The continuous knit cuff closure secures the sleeve in place during movement. At 18 inches in length, the universal-fit design accommodates a wide range of arm sizes. It is finished in high-visibility orange for quick visual identification on the job site. Safety managers, EHS coordinators, and trade professionals in fabrication, sheet metal, HVAC, and pipefitting rely on sleeves like this to supplement glove protection.

The 9178O is suited for residential and commercial applications where forearm protection is required but full-sleeve garments are not practical. Common use cases include duct handling, sheet metal work, pipe insulation installation, glass handling, and general fabrication tasks. The high-visibility orange coloring supports compliance with jobsite visibility requirements and makes it easy to confirm workers are wearing the correct PPE. The universal sizing allows facilities to stock a single SKU for most workers.
