Here’s what our customers have to say about our products and services:
Chiba Gloves are durable and the fabric is comfortable. They offer different sizes too. When I ordered mine initially it did not fit well on my hands but after calling customer service, they sent me a smaller size and it’s a perfect fit. It has great design and the Velcro strap was helpful in keeping it on my hands. .
It is definitely worth the price. The gloves were well constructed and the weight is distributed evenly on the back of the hands and fingers. They are very comfortable and the stitching was re-enforced. The mix of leather added an extra element of comfort for the hand. I personally recommend Chiba Gloves for all hand protection needs .
All the other comments were correct. Chiba Gloves really is the solution; they offer different gloves for all types of work. We used to get our employees’ hand protection from a different manufacturer but after trying out Chiba Gloves, we decided to keep them as our suppliers every year for our employees. Their products are high in quality and their service is fast .
They have great service! I ordered their gloves and didn’t expect to get until Friday or Monday of next week but it arrived at my doorsteps on Thursday. Now, that’s what I call fast service. When I tried the gloves on, it fit perfectly; it looks amazing and it feels great too. It allows me to do what needs to be done without compromising my hands ability to do the job .
At first, I was not very happy to order the gloves without trying them out first. I want to make sure it fits me that’s the reason why I don’t usually shop for gloves online because you just don’t know what to expect. My sister convinced me to try it out and when I got the package, it was truly a great fit. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is very comfortable .

Because of the threat of occurrence of fire in a building or home, buildings and establishments are often designed with accessible fire extinguishers to be prepared in the event of accidental fires. In addition to fire extinguishers, a fire alarm system accompanied by a wailing fire siren and signal systems that are connected to local fire stations heightens fire prevention measures. Firefighters will immediately be informed of fire incidences, managing fires while being heavily dressed in protective gears. Nowadays, firefighter gears are much improved--modern personal protective equipment technologies are incorporated to keep the brave firefighters away from harm while putting out the fire. Modern personal protective firefighting gears are designed to protect firefighters from severe injuries or health conditions consequential from close exposure to chemicals, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, and other hazards. It comprises of devices such as respirators, turnout gear, gas masks, and extrication gloves.
Extrication gloves are heavy-duty work gloves, which are specifically fabricated for use by first responders including firemen. This kind of gloves gives protection for the hands while allowing manual agility. Naturally, extrication gloves are donned in extrications, way in which a victim is taken out from an erratic environment. It protects their hands from the heat and sharp articles they stumble upon as well as to fend off harm while utilizing the powerful equipment, ropes and horses. In the past, firefighters were to provide their own leather gloves. Fortunately, that has changed now with gloves made of a three-layer fire and heat resistant, high-performance fabric called Kevlar.
Kevlar gloves are generally ideal for protection against extreme heat because of its flame-resistant feature. Patented by DuPont in 1965, the material is composed of fibers that are both strong and lightweight. It’s designed to be heat and cut resistant, never going to melt, catch fire, or conduct electricity. The Ove Glove, a type of Kevlar glove, is made to endure heat up to 540 degrees Fahrenheit (282 degrees Celsius), which is also perfect as an oven mitt.
With such hand protection, firefighters can easily maneuver their way to a burning establishment for extrication without having to worry about burns, abrasions, cuts and other injury.
