Cut protection levels

Cut protection levels indicate how resistant a material is to being cut or sliced. These levels are usually numbered from 1 to 5, with Level 1 offering basic protection against minor cuts, and Level 5 providing the highest resistance against severe cuts. Higher levels typically involve stronger, more durable fibers or construction methods, suitable for more dangerous tasks. When choosing protective gear, it's important to match the cut resistance level to the risk involved—more demanding jobs require higher protection levels to ensure safety.
