Technology
Here you will find all information about the technologies and materials we are using for the different ESKA products.
GORE-TEX® gloves PROFESSIONAL
GORE-TEX® gloves provide protection against heat, flame, liquids and abrasion while ensuring you still have the tactility necessary to do your job. GORE-TEX® gloves with Gore grip technology are recommended when improved breathability and tactility is required. The GORE-TEX® insert also offers protection against burns caused by superheated steam, provides splash protection against certain chemicals (acc. to EN 659) and keeps the glove´s insulation dry.

Fire Block Leather
We use carefully selected calf leather which is specially tanned to have hydrophobic and flame-resistant properties. The leather is washable, does not shrink even at high temperatures and offers 100% tensile strength.
Ergonomic Cut
High wear comfort and tactility thanks to an ergonomic cut based on the natural hand position.
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.
Crosstech
The CROSSTECH insert offers permanent protection against blood, viruses, and bodily fluids in tactile and sterilizable fire brigade gloves. It has been developed for firefighting in buildings and technical rescue activities (compliant with the valid NFPA, EN, and ISO standards).

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.
