Endurotech

Kevlar Dry Suit and Wet Suit Gloves

 

The Endurotech range of neoprene gloves and mittens feature Dupont Swiss Kevlar with a 26-28% Kevlar content on the palms and fingers, making for a durable, hardwearing glove. Cheaper alternatives use lower quality fabric with a 5-10% Kevlar content. These gloves are ideal for use by divers who regularly destroy regular neoprene gloves, or for military, commercial or rescue divers who demand the best gloves that one can buy.

The seams are all externally stitched and then coated with latex for additional sealing and protection.


The models include:
5mm 3-fingered mittens with Smoothskin wrist seals (semi-dry gloves)
4mm 5-fingered gloves with Smoothskin wrist seals (semi-dry gloves)
3mm 5-fingered gloves with no wrist seals (wet gloves)

 

Endurotech Glove Facts

Tests performed "to destruction" by an independent laboratory indicate the material will outlast regular gloves by a factor of 10.
The latex covered seams outlasted regular stitched seams on average by a factor of 150 times!
Ask for these gloves at your local dive shop.

The Company

In 1998, the company ENDUROTECH Ltd. was founded by Abdon Ryan, a commercial diver with 12 years professional experience, to fill the gap in the divewear market for truly durable drysuits and diving gloves. To this end, the Endurotech range of diving gloves and drysuits have been developed following a four year design and trial period. They are designed primarily for use in the military and professional fields of diving, and are therefore created with durability in mind.

The Product

That which endows all Endurotech products with their superior longevity and durability is the inclusion of Swiss made Keprotec® 1, which incorporates the tough protection of Kevlar® 2, brand fiber. This material, laminated to high quality Neoprene together with unprecedented seam of stitch quality yield probably the hardest wearing divewear currently on the market.

The Competition

Abrasion Testing carried out by an independent safety testing agency 3 yielded the following results:

Neoprene Comparison
a) Endurotech Neoprone, using Keprotec®, reinforced with Kevlar® brand fiber, showed between 5 and 10 times the abrasion resistance of conventional nylon jersey lined Neoprene gloves when tested to destruction. 4

Stitching and Seam Comparison
b) Endurotech seams and stitching may have 100 to 200 times the abrasion resistance of conventional Neoprene gloves when tested to destruction.

The backlog in the Kevlar supply chain is over, hopefully for good.

We have been getting some restock orders of gloves in, but because of the previous Kevlar shortage, some of the more popular sizes sell out quickly.

Please send email to see if your size is in stock or to be put on on the "to-notify" email list.

Please specify which model of glove. Include your hand measurement around the palm, at the crotch of the thumb, like this:



Keep in mind that the 5-finger gloves are cut a little on the small side and you might need to go with a size larger than what you may normally wear.
