Description

The PBI SIGA PBI 5F firefighter glove is the only one on the market with full PBI protection on the back and palm. The glove will impress with its superior heat and flame resistance, as well as excellent freedom of movement. The durable PBI fiber on the back and palm offers maximum thermal protection and comfort, making the glove extremely lightweight. The anatomically shaped, flame-resistant knuckle guard guarantees absolute protection against impacts and knocks. It also protects the back of the hand from heat exposure and injury. The abrasion-resistant PBI Gold palm with PROmarble coating provides maximum protection and grip on smooth and wet surfaces. The flame-resistant and cut-resistant Kevlar®/stainless steel/LCP coating protects the firefighter from sharp objects and 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, and also offers maximum breathability. The inner lining is built-in, and the insert is attached and connected to the outer layer according to ESKA's proven patented method to permanently prevent the liner from accidentally slipping out. The sophisticated system of two adjustable straps ensures a secure fit, allowing the glove to be worn over a jacket (Siga PBI 5F, long cuff) or under a jacket (Siga-E PBI 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 3D layered anatomical 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 (model Siga PBI 5F) or with a 100% Kevlar® knitted cuff (model Siga-E PBI 5F).
