Gloves like it hot

Bennett Safetywear has expanded
its Fortis range of gloves and mitts
designed to withstand extreme
temperatures .

Using the latest fibre and knitting
technology, the Fortis range
combines very high strength with
excellent thermal stability. The
heavyweight double-lined 5-finger
glove, with waterproof breathable
membrane to protect against scalds,
offers cut-resistance to Level 5 EN
388 and dexterity, whilst withstanding
temperatures of 600+°C .

The Fortis Xtreme mitt is
constructed of a combination of
high performance materials with
excellent radiant heat properties
and a seamless knitted outer for
added durability. It has proved to
be suitable for prolonged use at
650°C without any burning of the
outer layer.
