Before someone comes in and tells you to search;
I have tried on both the titans and fusions, never used On Da Job, but only tried them on for a minute or two and the Titans (IMO) have more dexterity and feel better. I'm actually going to order a pair now that The Fire Store has free shipping for a few days

Wish I knew about the free shipping. I got a pair of Titan K last week, didn't like the fit/feel at first but a day or so of putting them on, stretching out my fingers, beating them around, taking them off and play-fighting my Corgi with them they feel great and broke in to be really comfortable.

Haven't used them yet at work, but as far as fit they're good, finish though seems inconsistent glove to glove, otherwise I look forward to using them.

BTW have not used or seem the Fusion, so sorry I can't give a comparison.

I have used all of the protech gloves and am very happy with them all. The protech 8's were great loved those gloves too bad they don't make them anymore or thats all i would be wearing. I like the titan and titan k's both great gloves. The only complaint would be they are hard to get on and off when wet. Now I have been using the fusion's since they came out and am very happy with them. They may seem like the are a little more bulky at first but they break in nice and i don't have any issues with them at all. And the good thing is you can almost get two pairs of them for the price of the Titan k's. I also have a pair of the blaze fighters and they are very good gloves as well. I have never worn protechs X glove if anyone else has use them let me know what you think. Also I was wondering if the super glove is worth the hype?

I like the Shelby brand of gloves.

Cut a pair of these gloves open and look at the liner, then decide if these are the gloves you want protecting your hands.

I'm a big fan of the Dragon Fire Alpha X. Comfortable, good dexterity, and I feel they offer more protection than the Pro-Tech's.

I have both the Protech 8 Titan and Fusion, I have used them both is actual fire incidents and live fire training. They have both served me well. I do like the fit and feel of the Fusions better, especially donning and doffing when wet.

I also own the gloves Chenzo mentioned the Dragon Fire Alpha X and they are a fine glove too. I have used them in training fires and they too have served me well.

Gloves are a very personal thing. You need to find a pair of gloves that fit you well, offer some durability, and of course the protection you need.

Good luck if you don't have the size of hand, or length of fingers, that all glove manufacturers have decided are "Normal."

Have you had better luck with the new Pro-Techs vs the old ones? I just can't get over seeing some of the old ones all cut to hell and burned up to feel comfortable using them. Any heat related issues with them? Hands getting burned or incredibly hot?

I like gardening gloves.

Which gloves are you talking about?

My guess is the Pro-Tech's in general. I don't know if you had or have seen any of the first gen Pro-Tech 8's, but they were simply awful.

That being said, it sounds like the later models have seen vast improvement over the earlier ones. I'm not sure, I haven't seen the newer ones yet.

Weird I was in a lot of fire's with the original Pro-tech's and never got burned. Now in the last couple years I have been in a hundred or more fire's with my Titan's and the last few months fusions and haven't had a problem yet.

I saw some wickedly trashed Pro-techs from the first model. And I heard a couple stories of peoples hands getting burned. But if you had luck with them that's good. I went with the DragonFire's because I felt they offered better protection with the same amount of dexterity.

It boils down to what Fyred said though,
