Southern Glove has announced that it is adding a new line of flame-retardant gloves. Blowout Shield gloves are available in two patterns. The IWFO269 and IWFG269 models are 22 ounces total weight with a wing thumb and twill palm pattern that offers comfortable freedom of movement with no seams in the wear area; the IFCCFO209 and IFCCFG209 models have an 18-ounce total weight and feature a straight thumb and a cotton-corded palm. Both versions are available in high visibility fluorescent green and orange colors.  

Constructed from a rugged, fire-resistant outer material, Southern Glove’s Blowout Shield flame-retardant gloves offer excellent abrasion resistance and are specially designed for flame resistance in case of a flash fire.  They are independently certified for fire resistance and complete the protection offered by flame-retardant clothing. Each pair also features Southern Glove’s Blowout Shield logo, is tagged with a flame-retardant label, and can be customized with the customer’s logo on the back of the left glove.

Southern Glove also offers medium and heavy weight, flame-retardant hot mills suited for heavy industrial use such as steel, aluminum and glass.  These olive drab gloves have a 100% cotton outer layer with one or two cotton liners.  These styles are available with a band top or gauntlet cuff.
