These firefighting gloves are manufactured using Cowhide 100% top grain leather, 1.1-1.2 thickness. This material is dye fast, water & chemical resistant. The inner lining is warp knitted, 100% Dupont Kevlar, tested & approved to EN388, this works in conjunction with the PU waterproof inner membrane. In terms of cuffing, we have used an undyed Nomex/Kevlar blend, in a rib construction. We have added a small percentage of elastane for additional grip to the wrist and shape recovery. The fingers, palm and knuckles are all reinforced with Kevlar for extra durability. The thread used is 100% Kevlar.
