Technology
Ergonomic Cut
High wear comfort and tactility thanks to an ergonomic cut based on the natural hand position.
Kevlar®
Kevlar® is an aramid fiber with a low specific weight that offers high tensile strength, excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low elongation to break. Kevlar® is chemical-resistant and has outstanding abrasion resistance.
Cut Protection Lining
A newly developed cut resistant lining made from Kevlar® using steel fiberglass and silver threads (anti-bacterial) guarantees the users the highest level of safety for emergency services, even in extreme circumstances.
Rescut™ Fire
RESCUTTM fire material specially developed by ESKA® for extreme conditions. Provides optimum surface-level protection to prevent sharp objects from penetrating the padding, which acts as a second barrier in conventional models.
Antibacterial Silver
Silver fibres are antibacterial (bacteria is eliminated in less than an hour), preventing odour formation. Silver is also temperature-regulating and anti-static.
