ESKA PHÖNIX 5F GLOVE

Long waterproof glove for interior attack

Categories: , ,

Description

The Phönix 5F textile firefighting glove impresses with its superior heat and flame resistance and optimal wearing comfort. The high-quality Kevlar® material with PROmarble coating on the back ensures high abrasion and heat protection. The built-in stretch absorber with air cushioning protects against impact and heat. Furthermore, heat protection and dexterity are enhanced by the movement creases on the fingers and thumb. The abrasion-resistant palm with Nomex®/Kevlar® and PROmarble coating offers maximum protection and grip on smooth and wet surfaces. The revolutionary cut-resistant coating made of Kevlar®/Inox/LCP protects the firefighter from pointed objects and sharp edges (level 4F). Thanks to the GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® grip insert, the Phönix 5F provides a secure barrier against water, chemicals, oil, fuel, blood, and viruses while providing maximum breathability. The inner lining is built-in, and the insert is attached and connected to the outer layer using ESKA's proven, patented method to permanently prevent the liner from slipping out. The sophisticated, adjustable two-strap system ensures a secure fit, allowing the glove to be worn over a jacket (Phönix 5F, long cuff) or under a jacket (Phönix-E 5F, knitted cuff).

All maximum mechanical and thermal values ​​were achieved both in new condition and after pretreatment consisting of 20 washes at 60°C. The anatomical 3D layered cut adapts to the natural posture of our hands, ensuring the best possible fit and freedom of movement. We use only European materials, which undergo strict quality control in Austria. Firefighter gloves are available in versions with a long cuff (Phoenix 5F model) or with a 100% Kevlar® knitted cuff (Phoenix-E 5F model).
