Heat Resistant

Protex™ Terry gloves are knit to trap air between the fibers, making them a good insulator. They are good choice for applications requiring moderate protection or handling rough, sharp metal parts. For high heat protection Superior recommends multi- layer protection. The Dragon R800GMM, for instance, will stand up to 1800 degrees °F (1000 degrees °C).

Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
