Kevlar Gloves

Kevlar is a para-aramid fiber that resists heat and cuts and won't melt. Here it shows up as seam thread that holds up to spatter, as liners that add cut protection and as knit shells for hot work. Every glove in this collection uses it.

Buying guide

Where Kevlar does the work

The same fiber plays different roles depending on the glove. Here's how to tell which one you're getting.

Kevlar-stitched seams

Cotton thread can burn through when spatter lands on it, and the glove comes apart at the seams. Kevlar thread keeps welding gloves together much longer.

Kevlar liners

A Kevlar lining under leather adds cut resistance without changing the outside of the glove. Look for an ANSI cut level on the listing.

Kevlar knit shells

Terry cloth and knit Kevlar gloves handle hot parts and short heat contact, which is useful in foundries, glass shops and around ovens.

All-day wear

Kevlar stays flexible and doesn't get stiff the way some heat-resistant materials do, so these gloves are comfortable on long shifts.

Good to know

Kevlar or para-aramid?

Kevlar is DuPont's brand name for para-aramid fiber. You'll see both terms on our listings. When a product says para-aramid, it's the same family of fiber, sometimes from a different maker.

What matters for you is where the fiber is used. Stitching protects the glove itself. Liners and knits protect your hands from cuts and heat.

The thread you don't see is often what keeps the glove together.

FAQ

Kevlar glove questions

Is a Kevlar glove fireproof?

No glove is fireproof. Kevlar resists heat and won't melt or drip, but it can still burn through with enough heat or time. Check each product's intended use.

Are Kevlar gloves cut proof?

They're cut resistant, not cut proof. The ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level on the listing, from A1 to A9, tells you how much protection to expect.

Why does Kevlar stitching matter on welding gloves?

Seams fail first on welding gloves. Kevlar thread resists burning from spatter, so the glove holds together longer than one sewn with cotton thread.

Can I wash Kevlar knit gloves?

Many knit gloves can be washed, but care varies by product. Avoid bleach, which weakens aramid fibers, and follow the care notes on the listing.
