Description

The textile firefighting glove Phönix-E 5F with knitted cuff provides optimum wear comfort and best heat and flame resistance. The flame-resistant Kevlar® material with PROmarble coating on the backhand offers high abrasion and heat resistance. The incorporated stretch absorber with air cushioning protects against hits, knocks and heat. Furthermore, heat protection and dexterity get increased due to the movement folds on fingers and thumb.

In the palm the Nomex®/Kevlar® material with PROmarble coating ensures maximum protection and grip on smooth and wet surfaces. The revolutionary cut-resistant lining made of Kevlar®/Inox/LCP protects the firefighter against pointed objects and sharp edges (level 4F).

Thanks to the GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® grip insert, Phönix 5F provides a safe barrier against water, chemicals, oil, fuel, blood and viruses with, at the same time, maximum breathability. The inner lining is incorporated and the insert is attached and connected to the outer shell in line with the proven method patented by ESKA in order to permanently prevent the lining from being inadvertently pulled out.

All mechanical and thermal maximum values were achieved both in a new condition and after pretreatment consisting of 20 washes at 60 °C. The 100 % Kevlar® knitted cuff provides a secure fixing under a jacket. The anatomical, layered 3D cut is adjusted to the natural posture of our hands, to guarantee the best possible fit and freedom of movement. We use only European materials, which undergo strict quality control in Austria. The gloves for firefighters are available in versions with a 100% Kevlar® knitted cuff (Phönix-E 5F model) or with a long cuff (Phönix 5F model).
