Description

The Helios 5F leather fire glove combines the highest protective properties with a high degree of sensitivity. The robust yet flexible Fire Block leather offers high flame and water resistance and shows no shrinkage (0% according to ISO 17493/EN 659, although a maximum of 5% is permitted) even at the highest temperatures. The Heat Block Nappa leather back and palm provide the best grip and excellent sensitivity. The anatomically shaped, flame-resistant knuckle protector provides absolute protection against impacts and shocks. It also protects the back of the hand from heat and injury. On the palm, the Fire Block leather reinforcement provides additional protection. The revolutionary multi-layer cut protection coating made of Kevlar®/Inox/LCP gives the Helios 5F high-performance protection against cuts and sharp edges. Thanks to the GORE-TEXCROSSTECH® Grip insert, the Helios 5F protects against moisture, chemicals, oil, gasoline, blood, and viruses, while maintaining maximum breathability. The revolutionary new flap cuff solution allows the glove to be ideally secured over a jacket, or the knitted cuff version can be optimally worn under a jacket.

All maximum mechanical and thermal values ​​are achieved both new and after a pretreatment of 20 washes at 30°C. The insertion of the liner, the attachment of the insert, and the connection to the outer layer are carried out according to ESKA's proven patented process, permanently preventing unwanted detachment of the liner. The anatomical, layered 3D cut adapts to the natural posture of the hand to ensure the best possible fit and freedom of movement. We rely exclusively on European materials, which are subject to strict quality control in Austria.
