The CPA Chicago Protective Apparel 243-AKV is a 23-inch high heat glove made from a 19 oz. aluminized Kevlar-aramid fiber blend. If you are looking for aluminized gloves to work around radiant heat, this long-cuff style gives you forearm length as well as hand coverage. It is sold as a pair.
Radiant heat is heat that travels from a hot surface or flame through the air, rather than by touching it. Aluminized fabric has a reflective metal-coated face that is meant to turn some of that heat away.
