We recently had the opportunity to review the Fire Dex FDX G1 Firefighting Glove.
There are several things I liked about the glove… Construction. This glove seemed very well built. It reality, it is. The FDX G1 offers a 5 Layer Back – monorail simpsons 2 layers of Kovenex-R , 1 layer of breathable Pyrotect moisture barrier, 1 layer of reverse grain pig, and 1 layer of full grain cowhide. Protection. The FDX G1 also offers a 60+ TPP (Thermal Protection Performance) rating. Made in the USA (Ohio).
I ran the glove through the paces. I actually have been wearing a different manufacturers glove on each hand for some time now. I even had a well respected / trusted Brother review them as well (he too wore 2 different gloves, one being the FDX G1) Despite Fire Dex’s attempt at comfort and fit, I found the glove “bulky” monorail simpsons ( I have a small, narrow hand and I should add that the FDX G1 comes in sizes XS-XXL ). I liked the seamless fingers of the glove but this feature did not take away from the bulkiness. I didn’t like how the palm support ran perpendicular with the glove rather than at an angle like some other brands. I felt as if this added to the bulk of the glove while taking away from it’s dexterity. The pair I tested had the wrist-let sewn into the glove (they offer them without). This longer glove made for a poor fit seeing as how my turnout coat is already equipped with wrist-lets. With some manufacturers, this is not an issue due to the material used in the glove wrist-let. With the FDX G1, it caused a “bunching” problem and opened the possibility of exposure. The FDX G1 boasts having a porous hide offering the greatest breathability, which becomes softer with use. While the glove did seem to “breath” well, I did not like how it performed monorail simpsons donning and doffing when wet.
“I’d like to thank FireProductReview.com for the opportunity to test this product. I liked the look and feel of this glove until I put it on. Once on my hand, I found it bulky, monorail simpsons lacking dexterity and a poor fit. I especially didn’t like how it fit at the wrist. Both the glove and my coat have wrist-lets and they were not compatible. monorail simpsons I would have liked to tried the same glove in a shorter version, without the wrist-lets.”
