Structure gloves are constructed with fingers made of tanned grain cow leather and a back shell knit fabric of which materials?

• A. Tanned grain cow leather on the fingers and back shell made from PBI/Kevlar knit fabric
• B. Pure Kevlar throughout
• C. Nomex on the fingers
• D. Leather for back of hand only

Answer: (A)

Structure gloves use leather on the fingers for abrasion resistance and grip, while the back of the hand is protected by a knit fabric made from heat-resistant fibers. The back shell made from a PBI/Kevlar knit provides high heat resistance and strength without sacrificing flexibility, which is crucial for precision and dexterity in firefighting tasks. So, pairing tanned grain cow leather on the fingers with a back shell knit from PBI/Kevlar gives durable, protective coverage where you need it most. Using pure Kevlar throughout would miss that leather fingertip protection and grip; Nomex on the fingers is a fabric and wouldn’t provide the durable leather fingertips; leather for the back of the hand only would remove the specialized knit back shell that adds heat resistance and flexibility.
