Abrasion resistance Protect your hands and your investment

Abrasions are a constant hazard for first responders, whether from rough exteriors of hose and other equipment, rescue tools and saws, or any other material that rubs and wears down typical gloves. Effective abrasion resistance helps prolong the life of the gloves, which increases the total return on investment. Anyone who has thrown away a perfectly good glove because of a worn fingertip or palm pad understands the value of abrasion resistance even beyond the injury prevention. HexArmor ® builds superior abrasion resistance into our rescue glove line. After researching and gathering feedback on the ways in which first responders perform various tasks, we enhanced the protection with our proprietary TP-X ® material. We also added patches of additional fabric to the areas exposed to scrapes and excessive wearing, such

as the fingertips and the area between the thumb and forefinger. This keeps users safer, while extending the glove life. Impact resistance Positively impact overall safety Impacts come in all forms, shapes and magnitudes for first responders. Whether caused by falling tools or equipment or pinches, all impact injuries have one thing in common: unpredictability. Individuals must always be prepared and protected from impact and pinch points, and the patented IR-X ® Impact Exoskeleton™ from HexArmor ® has proven to reduce the number and effects of injuries. Tested and updated under the ISEA 138 impact protection guidelines, HexArmor ® impact protection is designed to absorb and redistribute the energy away from the hand and finger bones during an impact. The IR-X ® Impact Exoskeleton™ combined with our Thermal Plastic Rubber (TPR), which has the optimal durometer and height for impact dissipation, helps to lessen the force of an impact up to 60% under ISEA 138 testing, for some of the best protection on the market. Also unique to the IR-X ® is its high levels of comfort and dexterity over other impact-resistant technology. Our EXT Rescue ® line offers Level 1 and Level 2 impact protection. Grams
