NFPA Standard Aluminized Fire-Fighting proximily

Aluminized proximity gloves are an essential part of a full NFPA-compliant aluminized proximity ensemble. They typically offer:

1. Complete aluminized outer protection (PBI/Kevlar knit) meeting NFPA 1976 heat reflection specs.

2. Internal thermal/wet barrier inserts, aligning with NFPA 1971.

3. Steam shielding on key areas, especially the back of the hand.

4. Design alignment (cuff type) ensuring a secure interface with jackets and sleeves.

5. Certification, often by SEI, verifying compliance with ARFF/proximity requirements.
