Structural firefighting gloves are protective gear designed for firefighters to shield their hands from extreme heat, flames, and physical hazards like cuts and punctures during structural fire operations. They are made of multiple layers—an outer shell, a thermal barrier, and a moisture barrier—that provide protection while maintaining dexterity for handling tools and equipment. These gloves must meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards to ensure they meet rigorous safety requirements.
Key components and features
Outer shell: This is the outermost layer, made from materials like flame-resistant treated leather (e.g., cowhide, goat, elk, or pigskin) or high-strength synthetic fibers (e.g., Kevlar or Nomex). The outer shell provides grip, puncture resistance, and is the first line of defense against abrasion.
Thermal barrier: This layer, which can be integrated with the moisture barrier, protects against heat transfer and is designed to withstand high temperatures. It is often a thick, felted material or other insulating fabric.
Moisture barrier: This layer prevents liquids like water, blood, and some chemicals from penetrating the glove. A common material for this purpose is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon, which is both water-repellent and heat-resistant.
Dexterity and grip: Despite their protective bulk, structural gloves are designed to allow for a good range of motion, grip, and dexterity. This is crucial for tasks like operating tools, handling hoses, and using radios.
Durability and protection: Beyond thermal protection, these gloves are built to resist cuts, abrasions, and punctures, which are common risks on a fire scene.
