Key Characteristics & Material
- Material: Manufactured using a 100% Kevlar machine-knit process, providing exceptional strength-to-weight performance compared to steel.
- Trim Stitching: The prominent red stitched trim on the edge is an overcast border designed to lock the fabric weave and prevent the knit material from unraveling or fraying over time
-
- Cut and Abrasion Resistance: Protects the wrist and forearm against serious lacerations, minor cuts, and scrapes when handling sharp, dangerous edges.
- Thermal and Flame Protection: Inherently fire-resistant and highly resilient against high-contact temperatures, hot sparks, and thermal hazards without melting or degrading
