Details

Pro-Tech 8’s Wildland Firefighting Glove provides enhanced dexterity, grip, heat resistance, and comfort during Wildland firefighting activities.

The Wildland Firefighting Glove is designed to withstand the effects of flame, heat, vapor, hazardous liquids, sharp objects, and related hazards during structural firefighting operations. The extremely flexible and comfortable glove reduces hand fatigue during long missions. The full grain cowhide suede leather outer layer resists cracking, peeling, stiffening, and water damage and provides maximum grip and dexterity when wet.

The modacrylic inner liner sewn in at each fingertip provides better thermal protection, comfort, and moisture wicking capabilities. The reinforced palm and thumb enhance durability and grip, while the independently cut and sewn finger sidewalls enable maximum dexterity and flexibility. Certified to NFPA 1977-Current Edition, Pro-Tech 8’s Wildland Firefighting Glove is great not only for structural firefighting but also for welding and metalwork applications.

    Did the job we needed them to

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Apr 5th 2017

    We bought these to use as firing gloves for our maple syrup operation; we are literally sticking our hands in the fire about every 7 minutes to add wood. We need a glove that can handle both the heat, and handling rough fire wood. Other gloves we have bought in the past have shrunk in the heat, not had enough protection, or quickly worn through. There are three of us using these gloves, they are pretty easy for all of us to get on & off, and so far have held up really well. One of our users complained about the backs of his hands getting hot, but the other two had no complaints - we told him to work faster. We are hoping to get a few seasons of use out of these, instead of one or less like we have gotten with other gloves we have tried.

    Good but...

    Nice at first but they do get crispy like most leather gloves after getting wet.

    Not an ideal wildland glove.

    Posted by Verified Buyer on May 21st 2015

    These gloves are too thick to be good wild land gloves. I received them in the mail and immediately wasn't sure if they would work well for my job. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and wore them on a couple trainings and hikes. They are way too thick for extended periods of time wearing them. They don't let your hands breathe and just hold them so close that your hands just soak in sweat. They are almost better suited as a structural glove. Maybe if someone worked for a city or local government FD and occasionally went on small IA fires, then they might be ok but definitely not for 95-110 degree days where I'm hiking all day and lighting fire and digging line.

    Superior Protection at a Cost

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jun 17th 2014

    Understand the product. This is designed to meet NFPA specification. The glove is above and beyond the traditional protection of thin ""normal"" wildland gloves. If you are purchasing these gloves for hard use, in less than ideal conditions, handling things meant more for a tool than a glove; this is the glove you want. So far 2 wildland seasons and many calls. These gloves have great dexterity for their construction. The gloves are comfortable, easy to donn/doff, cover more than just your hands and a little wrist. If you pick up burning chunks and just generally put your gloves through hell in a wildland season; get these gloves. If you don't stick with the basic ""driver's"" or those lousy FS gloves. Also do yourself a favor if you get these gloves, buy a glove strap and keep them aired out instead of stuffed in a pocket. They keep alot better that way, even though they are exposed to the elements more than a pair in a pocket.

    Meets NFPA 1977

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 31st 2013

    These gloves are designed to meet NFPA 1977. That is why they are thick and heavy. As long as you understand that, they are a good glove. I think you will find that most firefighters will put these gloves in their gear bag and use the thinner leather drivers that can be picked up at the local hardware store.

    Good fit but thick

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 17th 2013

    These are a bit thick, I would prefer something thinner. Although the waterproof barrier is a great idea.

    Best gloves ever!

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 5th 2013

    I have a wide palm, short fingers & have worn gloves for over 30 years. These are by far the most comfortable gloves I have ever used!
