Structural Firefighting Gloves
Certified Compliant to NFPA 1970-2025 Standard
The MK-2 Structural Gloves are the next generation of the MK-1, now certified to the new NFPA 1970 Standard. These models retain the core design concept of the original with multi-layers of leather and heat/cut-resistant knit fabrics for enhanced protection, flexibility, and tactility. Engineered for the modern fireground, the MK-2 includes a modified fit and an integrated leather grab patch to notably improve wet don/doff performance. For maximum longevity, the fingertips now feature a third Kevlar seam and are officially labeled for PFAS compliance.

Proper Sizing
The first number is the measurement of the Firefighter’s index finger. The second part of the size, the letter, comes from the width of the Firefighter’s hand across the knuckles. Please see the diagram below from NFPA 1971-2018, Protective Ensembles for Structural Firefighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, for how to size the Firefighter’s hand. If measurements are in between sizes, it is recommended to trade up.
MK-2 and MK-2 ULTRA are a more tailored functional fit than other structural gloves, so many users trade up one size, especially those with relatively thick/hands fingers. It is recommended to size generously.
