Dave Curtis replied to John P's discussion 'Firefighter Gloves'
I currently have ProTech 8's been in service for about 1 year now, no problems and really like the dexterity. Eska's seem to be the new hotness in gloves, not quite the dexterity of the Protech 8's and the cheapest I could find them was $110. Fire...

John Crabbe replied to Kevin Beahn's discussion 'Hose Lines'
So it's a misleading question, with several answers. I can agree, problem here is you can have countless of different answers and thought process and reasoning. The bottom line is what does the book/instructor say so that you can puke back the co...
