Secure your firefighting gloves with a mission-critical, flame-retardant strap designed to survive the thermal extremes of the fireground without melting.

The R&B Nomex Glove Strap is an essential safety upgrade for firefighters who require reliable glove storage that won't compromise their gear's integrity. Engineered from a high-performance Nomex composite, this strap eliminates the risk of nylon or polyester components melting and fusing to turnout coats during intense heat exposure. The strap wraps securely around a pair of structural gloves, keeping them immediately accessible on the front of your coat while you operate in high-stress environments.

Key Features

  • Flame-Retardant Nomex Construction: Engineered with Hi-Air components and special woven Nomex composite tapes to ensure maximum heat resistance.
  • Anti-Melt Safety Design: Built to withstand extreme temperatures, preventing the strap from melting or running down turnout coats like standard nylon alternatives.
  • Glove-Friendly Trigger Snap: Features a robust steel clip or trigger snap hook designed for easy operation even while wearing secondary PPE.
  • Secure Hook and Loop Closure: Utilizes a specialized woven hook and loop system to provide a tight, reliable wrap around structural firefighting gloves.
  • Compact 7-Inch Profile: Delivers a streamlined 7-inch length to keep gloves tight to the body and reduce snag hazards during interior operations.

Why It Matters

Standard nylon straps pose a significant risk of melting into your turnout gear when exposed to flashover or high-heat conditions. This Nomex alternative translates thermal protection into a practical gear management tool, ensuring your equipment remains functional and your coat remains undamaged.

How to Use / What Problem It Solves

Designed to solve the problem of safe glove storage on the fireground. It is best used by wrapping the strap around structural gloves and attaching the steel clip to the D-ring or gear loop on the front of a firefighting coat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't this glove strap melt like standard nylon straps?▸

The R&B Nomex Glove Strap is constructed with Hi-Air flame-retardant components and a Nomex composite hook and loop system specifically engineered to withstand extreme heat exposure. Unlike nylon or poly web straps that can melt and run down your turnout coat during flashover or high-heat conditions, this strap maintains its integrity and won't compromise your safety gear. It's designed for firefighters who operate in environments where standard materials fail.

How does the steel clip attachment work on turnout gear?▸

The strap wraps securely around a pair of firefighter gloves and attaches directly to your turnout gear using a durable steel clip. This design ensures your gloves stay accessible and won't be lost during operations, while the steel clip provides a reliable anchor point that won't degrade under heat stress. The hook and loop closure keeps the gloves bundled together when not in use.

Is the R&B Nomex Glove Strap compliant for structural firefighting use?▸

Yes. The R&B Nomex Glove Strap (MPN 550) is made in the USA with flame-retardant Hi-Air and Nomex composite materials designed specifically for structural firefighting applications. While it's a glove storage accessory rather than PPE, its heat-resistant construction ensures it won't create additional hazards on the fireground by melting or degrading during exposure to extreme temperatures.

What's the weight capacity for gloves on this strap?▸

The strap weighs just 3 oz and is designed to securely hold a standard pair of structural firefighting gloves. The Nomex composite hook and loop system combined with the steel clip provides a secure hold for gloves weighing up to several pounds, including heavy-duty extrication or technical rescue gloves, without adding significant bulk to your turnout gear.

Can I use this strap for wildland firefighting or just structural?▸

While the R&B Nomex Glove Strap is engineered primarily for structural firefighting with its flame-retardant Nomex construction, it's equally effective for wildland operations. The heat-resistant design makes it ideal for any environment where glove accessibility and fire resistance are critical—whether you're on a structure fire, wildland deployment, or technical rescue operation. The natural color and lightweight 3 oz design won't interfere with your existing gear setup.
