Brush gloves made of

• A. Pig Leather, Nomex wrist and Kevlar stitching
• B. Pig Leather only with no reinforcement
• C. Pig Leather with nylon stitching
• D. Pig Leather, Nomex wrist and Kevlar stitching

Answer: (D)

Brush gloves must endure heat, abrasion, and embers. Pig leather provides excellent durability for the palm and fingers, which is essential when handling rough brush and carrying gear. The wrist area needs protection from heat and embers entering the glove, so a Nomex wrist helps resist flame and heat exposure at the cuff. The seams and stitching also have to survive under stress and heat, and Kevlar stitching offers high strength and heat resistance, keeping the glove’s integrity intact during tough encounters. Nylon stitching, by comparison, can soften or break under heat, reducing reliability. Putting these together—pig leather for durability, Nomex at the wrist for heat resistance, and Kevlar stitching for strong, heat-tolerant seams—gives the best overall protection and longevity for brush gloves.
