Firefighter Gloves
Poseidon Firefighter Gloves are professional-grade structural firefighting gloves engineered to NFPA 1970 test methods for heat, cut, and puncture protection.
Designed for interior and exterior firefighting, rescue, and industrial response,Poseidon firefighter gloves combine a flame-resistant outer shell, waterproof/viral barrier, and aramid thermal liner to deliver full-spectrum hand protection with lasting dexterity and comfort.
All firefighter gloves independently tested in accordance with NFPA 1970 (2024 edition) laboratory procedures.
Poseidon Firefighter Gloves provide reliable protection for firefighters and technical rescue personnel operating in high-temperature, high-impact, and moisture-rich environments.
The glove’s three-layer composite structure includes:
Outer Shell – High-strength flame-resistant leather reinforced with aramid fabric for radiant-heat and abrasion protection.
Moisture / Viral Barrier – PTFE-based membrane passing ASTM F1671 for viral penetration resistance and maintaining waterproof breathability during prolonged use.
Thermal Liner – Needle-punched aramid felt providing contact-heat and radiant-heat insulation per NFPA 1970 CCHR / RPP methods.
Critical zones such as the thumb crotch, fingertips, and palm are reinforced with goatskin or cowhide suede panels and para-aramid stitching, resisting tearing and puncture from glass, rebar, or debris.
An ergonomic pre-curved finger design improves tool control, while gauntlet or knit-wrist cuffs interface securely with turnout sleeves to block debris entry.
Each pair is trace-coded by lot and date for quality tracking.
NFPA 1970 Method Testing – Evaluated for Thermal Protective Performance (TPP), Conductive Heat Resistance (CCHR), and Radiant Heat Resistance (RPP).
Three-Layer Composite – FR leather shell + PTFE moisture barrier + aramid liner for balanced protection and mobility.
Enhanced Cut / Puncture Defense – Meets ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level A6, Puncture Level 4, ensuring safe tool handling.
Waterproof & Viral Barrier – Passes ASTM F1671; hydrostatic resistance ≥ 35 kPa (5 psi).
Durable Construction – Para-aramid thread, double-stitched seams, reinforced thumb and palm grip zones.
Ergonomic Fit & Visibility – Curved finger pattern, elasticized wrist or gauntlet cuff; optional reflective piping for low-light ID.
Comfort & Breathability – Inner aramid spacer mesh reduces sweat accumulation and heat stress during long operations.
Structural Firefighting – Interior attack, overhaul, and ventilation tasks requiring heat and moisture barrier integrity.
Rescue & Extrication – Provides grip and puncture resistance when handling sharp or twisted metal during vehicle extrication.
Industrial Fire Response – Resists abrasion and limited hydrocarbon splash in oil, chemical, or power-generation facilities.
Training & Drill Use – Durable construction for repeated high-temperature and mechanical stress cycles.
Municipal and Airport Departments – OEM/OEM+ options with custom sizing, colors, and branding available upon request.

NFPA 1970 Testing: All performance metrics verified using NFPA 1970 (2024) test methods for structural fire gloves.
Standards Alignment: ANSI/ISEA 105 (Cut/Puncture), ASTM F1671 (Moisture Barrier), EN 388 (Tear Strength).
Safety Disclaimer: Limited splash resistance only — not a chemical-protective glove.
- Wash separately to prevent contamination from other garments.
- Use mild detergent and a soft brush; avoid abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals.
- Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they may degrade the gloves’ protective features.
- Wash in warm water not exceeding 40°C (104°F).
- Air dry in a shaded, ventilated area or tumble dry on low heat; avoid direct sunlight and dry cleaning.
