All work glovesare not made alike. Specialty work gloves, such as heat protective gloves and sleeves, are function specific. Heat resistant gloves and protective arm sleeves are a type of heat and flame resistant safety wear that offer varying degrees of heat protection for a variety of job types such as food production personnel, firefighters, welders, foundry workers, lab workers and petrochemical personnel, to name a few. Items vary by which standards they satisfy, fabric weight, lining type, cuff type, length and other considerations.
