Thermal protection and firefighters

Firefighter’s gloves protect the hands and a part of the arms and have been designed to endure the fire during searching and rescuing.
Cold-protection gloves protect against convective and conductive cold.
Chemical protection
This type of gloves has been designed to protect against chemical substances that can produce some type of reaction when in contact with the skin, such as burns or irritation, depending on the level of danger of that substance.
Gloves for motorcyclists
These gloves have been designed to provide high protection when riding a motorbike. Made of high-resistance materials and require different types of protection.
Weather protection is another important advantage for using this type of gloves, whether protection against the sun, the cold climate, the wind, the rain, and other outdoor factors.
In some cases, hands sweat and there is a risk of accident if not wearing the proper gloves, as the skin slips in contact with rubber losing the gripping properties and sensitivity.
