Vanguard MK-2 Gauntlet Structural Firefighting Gloves – NFPA 1970 Certified

The MK-2 builds on the proven MK-1 design with upgrades focused on performance and durability for today’s fireground. Now NFPA 1970 certified and PFAS compliant, these gloves combine layered leather and high-strength knit materials to deliver reliable protection without sacrificing dexterity.

A refined fit and integrated grab patch improve control and make donning and doffing easier—especially in wet conditions. Reinforced Kevlar stitching at the fingertips adds durability where gloves typically fail first.
