The materials and fabrics used by the Chiba Glove Co. will make the Flame Fighter gloves last two to three times longer than standard leather fire gloves and are machine washable. The waterproof and blood borne pathogen barrier follows through the complete glove to the end of the gauntlet. The long gauntlet is designed to go over the turnout and provides a cinch strap to secure the glove to eliminate water and debris from going inside the gloves. The Fourchette finger style cut allows fingers to be closer together to gain more dexterity and grip strength. The palms are Kevlar impregnated with silicon for a durable and slip resistant surface. Chiba has also integrated their Biogel silicon gel pad to protect the ulnar nerve in a hand against impacts and bruising when working in a structure or vehicle accident extrications. EXTRICATION
