Kevlar Gloves & Arm Sleeves

We stock a variety of Kevlar^® gloves and Kevlar protection sleeves. Kevlar protective clothing offers enhanced protection against contact burns and cuts. Our range of Kevlar gloves and sleeves are made from 100% Kevlar fibre and are woven so that they are lightweight and flexible to allow maximum freedom of movement.

Kevlar^® is a para-aramid fibre made by Du Pont which has remarkable properties. Used in thousands of diverse products and industries. Kevlar is extremely tough, it does not melt, it is self-extinguishing, it is flame resistant and it will withstand temperatures up to 425° C continuously. Kevlar is used in safety protection clothing where heat and flame resistance or cut and slash protection is required. However please note: Kevlar offers only limited heat insulation, therefore gloves and sleeves will only protect from high temperatures for short periods of contact. The heavier the weight of the Kevlar glove or sleeve, the more high temperature insulation is given. They are perfect for juggling with fire balls or indeed any fire performance where there might be a risk of burns

We often have other sizes and weights of kevlar gloves available in our special offers section (including discounted ‘shop soiled’ products etc.). Click here to see our current special offers.

Please note that Kevlar reacts with UV light which will decrease its strength over time (but not its fire / temperature resistance). It is estimated that 50 to 60 weeks of continuous exposure will result in a loss of strength of up to 50%. Kevlar fibres should therefore be protected from UV-rays (e.g. prolonged exposure to strong sunlight etc.). We supply our Kevlar products in sealed black bags, where feasible, to ensure they are in pristine condition when you receive them.

Also please note: Kevlar gloves DO offer enhanced resistance against cuts and slashes that far exceeds ‘normal’ fabrics, but Kevlar gloves & sleeves are NOT cut-proof or puncture-proof. They are also NOT bullet-proof.
