Holík America announced two significant enhancements to its structural firefighting portfolio at FDIC: FURY and RAVEN, which were created to address persistent issues including limited hand movement, wet donning, and liner displacement while preserving complete structural protection.
FURY
The latest development in structural glove design is FURY, which enhances comfort and agility by fusing cutting-edge textile engineering with leather durability. Holík's Unbound Thumb for unfettered movement, CeramX Shield reinforcement to prolong glove life, and a 5D anatomic cut that moves naturally with the hand—supporting quicker donning and assured tool handling—are among its key features. FURY highlights PFAS (Total Fluorine) concentration below 100-ppm, certified by SEI, and is marketed as NFPA 1970 (2025/1971) compliant.
RAVEN
RAVEN focuses on sturdy construction while maintaining flexibility for challenging emergency situations, building on the proven tradition of the Brenna/Tarren design with improved comfort and protection. The design emphasizes Unbound Thumb dexterity, a multi-layer heat protection concept (with a TPP rating over 60 displayed on product materials), and SEI-certified PFAS (Total Fluorine) level below 100-ppm.
