CROSSTECH® DIRECT GRIP® GLOVE INSERTS
CROSSTECH® DIRECT GRIP® glove inserts are a combination moisture barrier and thermal liner, which results in a thinner, more streamlined insert for structural fire-fighting gloves. Firefighter gloves with CROSSTECH® DIRECT GRIP® glove inserts provide the best liquid penetration resistance against blood, body fluids and NFPA common chemicals. This superior liquid performance and innovative combination allows you to complete tasks that take fingertip control and still keep your gloves on for protection, with better fit and increased dexterity.
