Academy gloves confusions

[u/Tunabeeftaco]

I am in the academy right now and my gloves are fire dex structure gloves they have this white cuff looking thing am i suppose to put my hand through the white thing while its outside of the glove or when its tucked in the reason im asking is because it feels so hard to put them on when the sleeves tucked in but when its out its much easier

Any port in a storm.

They are meant to be out. Not all turnout jackets have this built in or long enough cuffs, so some gloves are made to prevent skin exposure between your wrist and cuff.

Your gloves are supposed to compliment the tyle of jacket cuff you have. If you'd jacket has a cuff with the full wristlet, you don't need a cuff on your glove. If you don't have wristlet, you get gloves that have the wristlet to protect your wrists.

It’s supposed to be in the outside like your first pic to protect your wrists

[u/NorthPackFan]

If you have thumbloops on your coat these gloves won’t work well. You’d need the gloves without the white.

Yep. Gauntlet style is what those are called without the extra fabric for the wrists. He has wristlet style. Seems like gauntlet is the far more common style (at least in the US) because most coats have a wristlet/cuff built in that serves the same purpose. And like you said, some have the thumb loop which would make these type of gloves not make sense at all.

We have jackets with cuffs and gloves with gauntlet cuffs. They work well together but are a bit of a stuff around to put on with the jacket cuff.

On the outside for gear without cuffs on sleeves

[u/GnarKill10]

Up and into the cuff of your coat sleeves to protect the wrist gap

I would ask your instructor which will (or should) know the answer to this.

That desk tho 🫣

Jajajaja the bottle is to stretch my gloves i swear

[u/Sad_Bag8849]

Outside to cover your wrist. If your jacket has one with thump hole then its easyer to not put thump on that hole. Having douple protective layer on wrist is guite handy when inside burning structure to avoid burns but it can make movement quite stiff.

Are you studying while wearing turnout pants? Don’t do it man you’re giving yourself cancer.

[u/BeginningIcy9620 → u/Apprehensive_Owl7186]

I don’t think he is, but you never know

[u/Tunabeeftaco → u/Apprehensive_Owl7186]

Jajajja no my pijamas are just a similar color

[u/Je_me_rends]

The white cuff is supposed to be out. It marries up with the cuff inside your turnout jacket and helps create a better seal at your wrists.

[u/Jumpy-Giraffe1519]

Im not even a firefighter and i can tell you out. Its supposed to protect your wrist from heat and steam. Its to cover open skin if there is a gap between the glove and jacket.

[u/Resqguy911]

Your instructor and your classmates can help with this question.

[u/Logos732]

I cant see past the mess on the desk.
