High Temperature Safety With Nomex Gloves For Pit Crews, Fire And Rescue

Selecting Your Nomex Glove
You've picked an at-risk profession, so stay smart and get maximum protection by Nomex gloves.
Temperature Safety Rating. Bona fide DuPont Nomex gloves give you protection and peace-of-mind up to 700-degrees F. High end protection nearly 200-degrees more than a high tech Ove glove, using a Kevlar outer layer for temperature protection to 480 degrees F.
Design And Construction. Look for a Nomex glove with reinforcement layering through the palm, thumb and index finger. A good tacky leather such as Pittards leather used in performance ski gloves should be located in the palm and finger surface areas. Look also for stretch knit across the back and wrist, which will feel better, and not create gripping problems or hand fatigue. 40mm thick Nomex glove material should be your guide to glove quality.
Asbestos Free. Fire protection in your Nomex gloves is not the equivalent of wearing asbestos. Your work gloves should be certified 100% asbestos free, in order too protect you from asbestiosis poisoning.
Mechanics Glove. If you work on autos, then your work glove should contain Kevlar or Nomex for safety and quality performance.
High tech work glove manufacturers incorporate Nomex into their performance series. Look for the online specialist offering DuPont Nomex gloves in sizes XS to XXL.
