Which statement is not part of the described glove construction?

• A. Tanned grain cow leather on the fingers
• B. Back shell made from PBI/Kevlar knit fabric
• C. Nomex layer on the back of the hand
• D. Pure cotton interior lining

Answer: (D)

The glove is built with layered protection to balance grip, durability, and heat resistance. The fingers are covered with tanned grain cow leather to provide abrasion and cut resistance while still allowing dexterity. The back of the hand gets a protective shell from PBI/Kevlar knit fabric, with an additional Nomex layer on the back to add flame resistance where exposure is greatest. The interior lining in this design is chosen to contribute to heat protection and comfort without becoming a weak point under heat or flame. Pure cotton interior lining wouldn’t fit because cotton is not flame-resistant and can ignite or melt when exposed to high heat. It also tends to absorb moisture and conduct heat toward the skin, reducing protection. Firefighter gloves use flame-resistant or heat-tested lining materials to maintain insulation and integrity under fire conditions, so a cotton lining would undermine that protection.
