Firefighter Gloves reinforced heat protective gloves designed to offer protection and comfort for emergency firefighting teams

Impact-Ready. Heat-Defiant. Built for the Breakthrough.

Structural firefighting is as much about physical impact as it is about thermal extremes. Firefighters routinely encounter falling debris, collapsing structures, and sharp obstacles that demand more than just heat protection—they require mechanical resilience. The HySafety® 7982 Structural Firefighting Glove answers this call with a comprehensive protection package that integrates impact-absorbing knuckle padding, a Kevlar® steel knit liner, and premium treated cowhide construction.

The 7982 delivers a unique combination of thermal defense, cut resistance, and impact mitigation—all while maintaining the dexterity and comfort that firefighters demand. For distributors serving municipal, industrial, and volunteer departments, this glove represents a strategic addition to your PPE portfolio, offering verified protection that addresses the full spectrum of fireground hazards.

The 7982 stands apart with its knuckle padding—an engineered impact protection system that absorbs and disperses force from blows, strikes, and falling objects. This feature is critical during forced entry, search and rescue, and overhaul operations where hands are vulnerable to impact injuries. By reducing the risk of fractures and contusions, the 7982 keeps firefighters operational and reduces injury-related downtime.

The Kevlar® steel knit liner provides a formidable barrier against both heat and mechanical cutting hazards. This advanced liner integrates seamlessly with the flame-retardant moisture barrier, delivering three essential protections in one glove:

• Thermal insulation against convective, radiant, and contact heat
• Cut resistance against broken glass, sharp metal, and debris
• Chemical/bloodborne pathogen protection through the breathable moisture barrier

The outer shell is crafted from high-quality treated cowhide, offering a balanced profile of durability and flexibility:

• Heat resistant and flame retardant – withstands direct flame exposure
• Water repellent – low water absorption keeps the glove lightweight and effective
• Washable – maintains softness after repeated laundering
• High abrasion resistance – drag hoses, force entry, and perform overhaul without premature wear
• Tear and puncture resistance – stands up to sharp edges and rough surfaces

The glove strategically combines treated cow grain on the top hand for flexibility and treated cow split on the palm and grip areas for enhanced durability where abrasion is most severe.

• Long Cuff with Fastener: The extended cuff provides additional wrist and forearm protection while the adjustable fastener ensures a secure, personalized fit that prevents debris ingress and glove shift during operation.
• Reflective Strap on Top Hand: A highly visible reflective strap enhances low-light visibility, improving firefighter identification and safety on smoky or nighttime firegrounds.
• Wingthumb Construction: Facilitates natural hand movement and makes the glove notably easy to put on and take off, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
• D-Ring & Carabiner Attachment: Integrated attachment points allow firefighters to clip gloves to turnout gear when not in use, ensuring quick access and preventing loss.
• Full Size Range: Available in sizes 6 through 12 to accommodate all hand sizes.

While the 7982 emphasizes impact and cut protection, it does not compromise on thermal safety. The glove is engineered to meet and exceed NFPA 1970 standards, with the Kevlar® steel knit liner and treated cowhide working in concert to provide robust thermal defense across all critical metrics.

Most structural firefighting gloves focus on heat and leave impact protection as an afterthought. The 7982 changes that paradigm by integrating impact-absorbing knuckle padding alongside thermal and cut resistance. This holistic approach allows you to offer a glove that addresses the three most common injury mechanisms on the fireground: burns, cuts, and blunt force impacts.

The combination of treated cowhide and Kevlar® steel knit construction ensures the 7982 withstands the most punishing fireground conditions. Low water absorption and washable materials extend the glove's service life through multiple cleaning cycles, reducing replacement frequency and delivering significant cost savings to budget-conscious fire departments. For your distributor business, this translates to higher customer satisfaction and repeat orders.

The reflective strap, long cuff with fastener, and D-ring attachment are not cosmetic additions—they are functional features that improve safety, comfort, and convenience on the fireground. Firefighters who wear the 7982 appreciate the thoughtful design that makes their job easier and safer, which in turn drives positive word-of-mouth and brand loyalty.
