Heat Resistant Firefighter Gloves Designed to Provide Superior Dexterity and Safety in Extreme Conditions

Cutting-Edge Heat Defense. Unrivaled Cut Resistance. Engineered for Action.

Structural firefighting demands equipment that performs flawlessly under extreme thermal stress, mechanical hazards, and relentless wear. The HySafety® 7993 Structural Firefighting Glove is a next-generation protective solution engineered to meet and exceed the rigorous expectations of modern fireground operations. Designed specifically for North American and Canadian markets, this glove combines premium European cowhide with a groundbreaking Kevlar® steel knit liner, delivering a unique fusion of heat protection, cut resistance, and dexterity.

For distributors supplying municipal, industrial, and volunteer fire departments, the 7993 represents a compelling value proposition: a glove that enhances firefighter safety, extends service life, and reduces total cost of ownership. With certified test results that far surpass NFPA requirements, the 7993 is built to instill confidence in every wearer and every procurement officer.

The 7993 has been rigorously tested to ensure protection in the most unforgiving environments. Independent lab results demonstrate exceptional performance across all critical thermal metrics:

• Convective Heat (HTI Index): 31 seconds (requirement ≥13) – outstanding resistance to hot air and steam.
• Radiant Heat Resistance (T24): 46 seconds (requirement ≥20) – superior shielding against radiant heat sources.
• Contact Heat: 11–15 seconds (requirement ≥10) – extended protection when touching heated surfaces.

These results translate directly to real-world safety: firefighters gain crucial extra seconds to escape thermal hazards, reposition, or complete critical tasks.

Every component of the 7993 is selected and engineered for peak performance in structural firefighting environments:

• Outer Shell: Crafted from premium European grain cowhide, specially treated for durability, softness, and water repellency. The leather features low water absorption, excellent heat and flame resistance, and high abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance—ensuring the glove withstands repeated harsh use.
• Moisture Barrier: An integrated flame-retardant moisture barrier provides breathability while effectively preventing penetration by chemicals and bloodborne pathogens, keeping hands dry and safe.
• Thermal Liner: The standout feature of the 7993 is its Kevlar® steel knit liner, which delivers exceptional heat and cut resistance. This innovative liner provides dual protection—thermal insulation combined with mechanical cut protection—addressing two critical hazards simultaneously.

• Kevlar® Knit Cuff & Stitches: The Kevlar® knit wrist cuff offers a secure, comfortable fit while preventing debris ingress. Kevlar® stitching throughout the glove ensures structural integrity under extreme tension.
• Wingthumb Design: The ergonomic wingthumb construction allows for natural hand movement, significantly reducing hand fatigue during extended operations and making the glove notably easy to put on and take off.
• D-Ring & Carabiner Attachment: Integrated D-ring and carabiner allow firefighters to clip the gloves to their gear when not in use—ensuring they are always within reach and never lost on the fireground.
• Full Size Range: Available in sizes 6 through 12, accommodating the full spectrum of hand sizes for both male and female firefighters.

The 7993 is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of NFPA 1970. With test results that substantially exceed minimum thresholds—particularly in convective and radiant heat—this glove provides distributors with a verifiable, data-backed product that fire departments can trust. When bidding on contracts or responding to RFQs, you can present independently verified performance metrics that differentiate your offering.

Traditional firefighting gloves focus primarily on thermal protection, often overlooking mechanical cut risks from broken glass, sharp metal, and debris encountered during search and rescue operations. The 7993's Kevlar® steel knit liner uniquely addresses both hazards simultaneously, giving your customers a competitive edge in firefighter safety and reducing injury-related downtime.

The combination of premium European cowhide and robust Kevlar® steel knit construction ensures the 7993 withstands the abrasive realities of structural firefighting—dragging hoses, forcing entry, and performing overhaul. The low water absorption and durable materials mean the glove maintains its protective properties through multiple wash cycles, extending replacement intervals and offering significant cost savings to budget-conscious fire departments.
