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.
They’re described as “Comfortable 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.”
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, “[These gloves] can handle sparks no problem. The palm is goatskin with FR Kovenex. These gloves are great for MIG and TIG [welding].”
That’s 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.
Mechanix does not sell direct from their website. However, these and other Mechanix Wear gloves are available online from several sources, including:
● Proven Arms & Outfitters (PAO)
● Gov X
