Is size 10 a large glove? Not on MCR Safety’s chart: size 10 is XL on the 4890 and large is 9. Sizes: M (8), L (9), XL (10); the size is the part-number ending (4890L, 4890M). Glove size numbers vs letters.
Will leather gloves protect you from electrical shock? MCR Safety publishes no electrical rating for the 4890; its ratings are abrasion 3, puncture 2. Rubber insulating gloves are a different product: electrical gloves vs work gloves.
