Procurement notes

- Sizing: XL (11). If your team is between sizes, prioritize a snug fit for better dexterity on wire pulling and small fasteners

- Use case: best for general handling, installs, and everyday tasks where you want grip and feel, not heavy insulation

- If your work includes sharp edges or higher cut risks, spec a cut-rated glove instead of a general-purpose glove

- Keep a spare pair per technician since lightweight gloves tend to get swapped mid-shift
