Proven EclipseT performance, enhanced by high breathability and fabulous dexterity, made the new Style #8700 gloves a big hit at the FDIC.
Our latest marsupial marvel created more "wow's" than we've heard in a long time, from fire fighters and distributors alike. By combining our patented EclipseT design with a kangaroo leather palm, our Kevlar-Nomex lining, and the new highly-breathable PYROTECT® moisture barrier, we blew the competition away. If you missed this great new product, contact your local AFW rep or Customer Service. Available in regular sizes XS - 3XL.

Benefits of Eclipse patented design:

- Ergonomically correct "Swing Thumb" design reduces hand fatigue.
- Highly flexible elkskin leather on glove back AND around the entire index finger fights hand fatigue.
