As most of you know for the past year we have been under a microscope of opinions, innuendo, rumors and in some cases totally fabricated lies primarily instigated by our competitors and one in particular. This negative campaign even went so low as to spread rumors of grisly burn injuries caused by using Pro-Tech 8 gloves. These rumors are totally false and without merit whatsoever!
As a small innovation, design and manufacturing company we devote ourselves to bringing you PPE that is more advanced and safer than before. That is our mission and it does not include campaigns trashing our competitors. The fact is that "Gloves Off" presents the greatest risk for serious hand burns or injury on the fireground. Pro-Tech 8 gloves were designed for maximum dexterity far greater than any other structural gloves available. This allows you to perform all your firefighting tasks, "Gloves On"!
Result: Highest level of hand protection and safety for you without sacrificing world class thermal protection.
We now introduce the Pro-Tech 8 TITAN - NFPA 1971 - 2007 Edition Compliant (See Certification Letter here)
This upgraded version of our original Pro-Tech 8 offers improved protection, durability and don & doff performance while maintaining the dexterity, fit and grip that has made our gloves increasingly the demand of so many firefighters. The Pro-Tech 8 unique knuckle guard system protects the vulnerable knuckles of your hand that many structural firefighting gloves completely ignore.
The Pro-Tech 8 TITAN uses proven high tech components and a unique design for advanced safety, not mysterious air spacers, leather and overhyped advertising. Try our gloves on the fireground and you will understand that our competitors talk is cheap. Years of research and development is what pays off. If our competitors gloves were as good as they say, they wouldn't have to resort to negative advertising and lies to sell their products!
Soon to follow the Pro-Tech 8 TITAN Short Cuff is our Long Cuff version featuring a patented Kevlar™ elastic cuff band which prevents debris from entering and eliminates glove slip off. Never again will you need to rely on annoying outdated knit wristlets.
Our gloves use the highest quality components including Dupont Kevlar™ and Nomex™ and water repellent leather. The multi- layer design allows incredibly soft and comfortable break in with thermal protection that actually increases after washing, as proven during our lab certification testing; also while drying quickly and soft. Our new inner liner component is 100% knitted Nomex™ and can not be simply pulled apart like the SEF used in many of our competitors gloves. Please contact any of our 80 distributors in North America for a try on/demo of our new Pro-Tech 8 TITAN. Our online store will be open on or around June 18th. Thanks for your continued support and business! Pro-Tech 8 Team About the Pro-Tech 8 Titan MANUFACTURED IN ISO 9001:2000 COMPLIANT FACTORY
DESCRIPTION: The Pro-Tech 8 TITAN glove is specifically designed and constructed for hand protection during structural firefighting activities. The component materials are designed to withstand the effects of flame, heat, vapor, hazardous liquids, sharp objects and other hazards that are encountered during structural firefighting operations.
The glove shall meet or exceed the NFPA 1971 Standard - 2007 Edition- on Protective Ensemble for Structural Firefighting. Certifying Agent: Safety Equipment Institute McLean, Va.
DESIGN AND FEATURES: Advanced Multi-Layered design using technologically superior light weight components that provide repetitive thermal protection and cut resistance. The unique varied layering design and sewing/construction results in an extremely light weight structural firefighting glove with superior dexterity, comfort, fit and grip without sacrificing NFPA compliant protection and performance.
Five-fingered, winged thumb structure. The back side of the glove features a knuckle guard consisting of 2 layers of waterproof Silicon Carbide fused with 2 layers of 100% Kevlar providing enhanced thermal protection and cut resistance at the traditionally vulnerable knuckle compression point.
Gathered stitching is used around the entire wrist for a secure fit and reduces debris from entering the glove.
*The Long Cuff “wristlet” style has a 100% Kevlar wrapped elastic band inside the cuff for extra secure fit and prevention against fire ground debris entering specifically for use with turnout gear that does not have thumb wristlets or long wristlets.
The glove inner liner is sewn in at each fingertip for maximum retention and efficient wet don and doff.
A leather hang-up loop is provided on the glove inside for easy drying and storage.
MATERIALS AND LAYERING: The palm side outermost layer is water repellent sueded goat skin tanned and designed to resist cracking, peeling, and stiffening while also providing a sure grip when wet.
The ring and middle finger’s suede are cut and sewn independently for enhanced dexterity.
Underneath the suede is a full layer of blended 64% KEVLAR / 36% NOMEX and two partial layers of 100% NOMEX both of which which run from the edge of the sueded palm section to the cuff edge. The inner liner on the palm side is another full layer of 100% NOMEX.
The back side of the TITAN outer layer is mainly water repellent goat skin suede which covers the finger tip area, a 1” suede welt across the entire finger crotch area, and the cuff area from the knuckle guard edge to the cuff edge.
Underneath these suede portions on the glove back side is a full layer of 100% KEVLAR and another full layer of 100% NOMEX.
The inner liner on the back side is another layer of 100% NOMEX.
The knuckle guard portion has an outer layer of 100% Kevlar, one layer of 100% Nomex, two layers of silicon carbide paper both fused with 100% Kevlar, another layer of 100% Kevlar and another layer of 100% Nomex representing the inner liner. This unique layered system provides repetitive thermal protection at the most vulnerable spot especially when the fist is clenched whereby the layers of any glove are compressed to reduce protection.
The finger side walls are comprised of an outer layer 64%KEVLAR / 36% NOMEX, and two underneath layers of 100% NOMEX.
The gloves inner layers are fully lined with a double layer of breathable polymer moisture barrier completely sealed in the finger and sidewall area to prevent liquid penetration from the NFPA test chemicals, blood borne pathogens and water. No stitching shall penetrate the membrane and it shall remain flexible in sub zero temperatures.
The glove inner cuff construction is supported by 1½ inch wide leather welting. Identical welting is used additionally within the inner layers of the cuff con- struction, all to prevent moisture wicking and to enhance support and durability.
100% KEVLAR high burst thread and 100% KEVLAR edge piping is used throughout the gloves.
SIZING: The gloves are available from XX Small, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge,
XXLarge, XXXLarge, and XXXXLarge.
Cadet models of any sizes with ½” shorter finger lengths are available upon request.
