ABSTRACT:
A protective glove for use in fighting wildland fires has a relatively thin portion which protects the palm surface of the hand and a thick, padded, fire- and thermally-protective upper portion which protects the vulnerable skin on the back of the hand. The top portion includes joints which allow the fingers to be flexed. The configuration provides the firefighter with the dexterity required to fight a wildland fire and the level of protection necessary to avoid serious injury to the backs of the hands.
