Rothco Fire Resistant Flight Gloves

Fire Resistant Flight Glove

The Rothco Fire Resistant Flight Gloves follow the G.I. type pattern, the close-fitting design based on the US military flight glove. They give your hands a layer of flame and heat resistance while staying thin enough to work switches, controls and gear. Rothco makes them for pilots, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders and active-duty personnel, and they also suit shooters and outdoor users who want a slim glove with some heat protection.

Features

• Sheepskin Leather Palm — The palm and the fronts of the fingers are smooth sheepskin, a thin and supple leather that keeps grip and feel on whatever you are holding.
• Nomex Fire Resistant Back — The back of the hand is Nomex, an aramid fabric built to resist flame and heat that chars rather than melting onto skin.
• G.I. Type Pattern — The cut copies the military-issue flight glove, but this is a new commercial glove made by Rothco, not surplus.
• Gathered Wrist — Elasticated shirring on the palm side of the wrist draws the glove in so it stays snug and does not slide around.
• Extended Gauntlet Cuff — A long cuff runs well past the wrist, so you can tuck it under or over a jacket sleeve and close the gap at the forearm.
• Thin, Close-Fitting Profile — The unlined, slim construction keeps finger dexterity for buttons, zips, switches and triggers.
• Black Colorway — Black leather and fabric throughout suit flight suits, duty uniforms and plain workwear.

Leather And Nomex Build

The glove pairs two materials, each where it does the most good: sheepskin leather on the gripping side and fire resistant Nomex fabric across the back and cuff. Rothco lists the gloves as flame resistant and ISO certified. They are cut to fit close, like the issue flight glove, so check the Rothco glove size chart before ordering.
