Mechanix Wear manufactures and extensive line of tactical-, work, and cold weather gloves. The latest model: heat resistant work gloves made of goatskin, Kevlar, and Kovenex.
Theyāre described as āComfortable stretch elastic cuffs [that] make for easy glove removal [with] flame-resistant goatskin to deliver the perfect blend of dexterity and durability when handling hot materials.ā
According to the Mechanix, these EN 407: 2004 Level 2 contact heat resistant gloves are made from Heat Resistant Goatskin to protect the back of your hands and FR Kevlar and FR Kovenex to safeguard your palms.
Mechanix says, ā[These gloves] can handle sparks no problem. The palm is goatskin with FR Kovenex. These gloves are great for MIG and TIG [welding].ā
Thatās good news for engineers, Seabees, armor mechanics, and others who have to sometimes carve metal with flame!
Mechanix Gloves (including several different models designed for shooting, and many in Multi-Cam) can be seen virtually anywhere US military personnel are deployed.
Though not yet available, a long-cuff version of the new heat-resistant glove is rumored to be inbound.
