HexArmor FireArmor SR-X 8181 Firefighter Gloves | NFPA 1970 Certified

The HexArmor FireArmor SR-X 8181 firefighter gloves are designed to meet the demands of modern structural firefighting, combining dexterity with robust protection for fireground operations. The exterior is crafted from premium cow suede leather, chosen for its abrasion resistance and natural flame-repellent properties, reinforced with an extra palm patch and thumb saddle to better withstand heavy friction from hoses and tools. Inside, the glove integrates a 100% Nomex knit liner that contributes to thermal protection while maintaining flexibility, and a Kevlar back-of-hand layer to resist cuts and punctures from hidden debris encountered during overhaul or forced entry. An H2X+ FR moisture barrier forms an interior seal against water intrusion and potential exposure to fluids, helping to keep the hand drier and more secure during operations.

Documented protection features include a Thermal Protective Performance rating greater than 60 and complete NFPA 1970:2025 certification, indicating alignment with current structural firefighting standards. The glove is PFAS-free, complying with total fluorine limits specified for modern fire scenes, which reflects a commitment to environmental and safety requirements on the job. Construction is reinforced with heavy-duty Kevlar stitching and a Kevlar-backed design for added seam integrity under extreme heat, ensuring the glove holds its shape and protective performance after repeated use and laundering. The extended gauntlet cuff with a leather pull tab provides rapid donning and a better seal with turnout gear, while the entire glove is designed to be fully launderable without loss of fit or thermal performance.

This pairing of materials and construction supports use in high-heat environments, including structural firefighting scenarios where dexterity is still essential for tool handling and rescue tasks. The product is supplied as a pair and is machine-washable, which helps maintenance teams extend service life with routine cleaning. While performance data confirms the overall protective intent, practitioners should verify fit and ensure compatible PPE layering with turnout gear, and follow any departmental guidelines for laundering to maintain the integrity of the 8181’s protective features.
