Our dept has started to use the Pro tech 8's they are very good with dexterity and the fingers are sewn in so the lining doesnt pull out when you take your wet glove off. I have had my pair for 2 1/2 years and they are still holding up very well. These gloves have very good dexterity right out of the package and are not bulky like some other gloves are.

I am using the ProTech 8 gloves too. I agree they are not bulky, very easy to work in and provide great protection, but they are extremely difficult to put on when wet. The lining seems to stay in place but it just sticks to your skin and you really need to wriggle and work your hands in.

My dept has cycled in a few pairs of the Blazefighter. The rolled fingertip is excellent and gives a good feel for grasping objects. Also the liner is sewed in place so that it will stay put. We have the gauntlet style wrists on our jackets and the open cuff version is easy to put on and remove.

Blazefighter inner liners are bonded with glue, they are not sewn in.

I got a pair of Blazefighters to demo. I love them. They are the best gloves I have worn in my career. I will be getting more of them for myself for sure.

We use the American Firewear Supergloves and we really like them for all the same reasons that everyone likes the gloves that they like. I do agree that it does come down to budget and where you get the most bang for your buck.

I also think that this kind of a question is the same as do you like Ford, Chevy, or Dodge? Well they are all going to get the job done, have unique features, and uniques price tags. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference.
