Service Wear Test Evaluation of Structural/Proximity Firefighters Gloves
Abstract
The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) contracted with Dynamac Corp., Rockville, Md., to develop a dual purpose firefighters glove for both crash-rescue and structural firefighting duties. This new re-designed glove eliminates the need for firefighters to maintain two distinct sets of handwear. This report contains information relating to design characteristics of the gloves, compiled test data of user evaluations, and overall conclusions. NCTRF has recommended that this new structural/proximity glove be introduced into the supply system.
