Purpose-built for structural firefighting
The Cestus 1000 Fire Attack glove is certified to NFPA 1971:2013 for structural fire operations. It targets career and volunteer firefighters who need a single glove for attack, extrication and driver-operator tasks. The lightweight Nomex outer shell reduces bulk compared with traditional leather alternatives.
Thermals moisture and weight
The Nomex construction dries faster than leather after water exposure, helping to limit heat retention during extended operations. Pre-curved finger seams lower the effort needed to grip tools, which reduces metabolic heat build-up inside the glove. No power draw or active cooling is involved.
Build and daily handling
Triple-layer silicon-printed Kevlar palms deliver abrasion resistance and consistent grip on wet or oily surfaces. The all-in-one design eliminates the need to swap gloves between fire attack, rehab and extrication duties. NFPA 1971:2013 labelling confirms compliance for structural entry.

Questions about this item
How do I put the Cestus 1000 gloves on correctly without restricting finger movement?
Slide each hand in fully so the pre-curved finger seams align with your natural resting position; the common mistake is stopping short at the wrist, which pulls the palm tight and reduces dexterity.
What part of the Cestus 1000 gloves will wear out first and need replacement?
The triple-layer silicon-printed Kevlar palm takes the most abrasion from nozzle work and extrication; when the printed grip pattern smooths out or the layers delaminate, the gloves must be retired.
At what point does the Cestus 1000 glove hit its thermal limit during prolonged interior attack?
The NFPA 1971:2013 certification defines the maximum heat exposure the Nomex outer and Kevlar palm can withstand; sustained temperatures beyond that rating will degrade the materials faster than normal wear.
