Firefighting Gloves, Aramid
 
The 15-inch, gauntlet-style Aramid glove had a clute-cut design. The one-piece cuff was attached to and protected by a full in-seamed, fire-retardant, Aramid fabric. The gloves were used for firefighting when protection from heat was required. Moderately hot objects could also be handled with these gloves.
