Extrication Glove Question

[CTFR2]

Does anyone have any experience in using extrication gloves. I guess what info I am looking for is what is the best glove out there to purchase.

I can't speak for other brands, but I use the Ringers 911 Gloves (see link) and love'em...they are comfortable and apparantly durable because I use them all the time and they don't look like they've been bothered at all.

It's a shame they don't make the Mechanix gloves anymore. I've had a pair for several years now and they're the best I've had. I've got a pair of Ringers that seem to be holding up well, too. There's a couple of other brands out there that seem to be built well and hold up well, but watch out as some are junk.

If you've got some sales reps you deal with, see if they won't give you a pair to play with and see how you like them.

Still alive and well. My local auto parts store stocks too. Last i was there, Wal Mart had tons of them too.

While the Mechanix gloves offer no protection against Biohazards, they are far more comfortable then most extrication gloves.

I'm talking about their extrication glove they made several years ago. The pit crew glove they have is close, but not quite the same thing.

At FDIC Shelby was showing a new extrication glove that look pretty decent (w/barrier). Price around same as 911 as I recall.

ProTec was also showing 2nd generation of their rescue glove. Much thicker (think cold weather) than 911 or Shelby.
