Tarren Wristlet Structural Firefighting Gloves – Split Cowhide, Porelle® Barrier, NFPA 1971
The Holik Tarren Wristlet structural firefighting gloves are built for firefighters who need high heat protection, dependable grip, and consistent comfort on every call. With durable split cowhide leather, advanced aramid layers, and a Porelle® moisture barrier, these NFPA 1971 (2018) certified gloves are engineered for real fireground conditions.
Built for Structural Firefighting Environments
The Tarren Wristlet is designed to handle aggressive interior attack, overhaul, and ladder work where abrasion and impact are constant:
The back and palm are made from rugged split cowhide leather that resists wear from tools, debris, and harsh surfaces. This durable build gives firefighters a stable, confident grip on nozzles, hand tools, and ladders in both dry and wet environments.
Layered Heat and Cut Protection
Inside the glove, multiple technical layers work together to shield your hands from extreme conditions:
A thermo-protective layer on the back of the hand and thumb helps block high heat.
Aramid non-woven fabric adds extra resistance to heat, abrasion, and cuts in critical zones.
A thicker aramid lining further increases thermal protection and helps slow heat transfer to the skin.
These layers are designed to protect without turning the glove into a stiff, bulky shell, so firefighters can still move and work effectively.
Porelle® Moisture and Pathogen Barrier
The Tarren Wristlet uses a Porelle® P540 polyurethane FR membrane as a full moisture barrier that:
Creates a barrier against water, chemicals, bloodborne pathogens, and bacteria
Remains highly breathable to help manage sweat and internal moisture
Stays flexible and sensitive so dexterity and tool feel are maintained
This barrier gives firefighters added confidence when working in contaminated or fluid-heavy environments.
Secure, Stable Lining That Stays Put
Holik focuses on a lining system that doesn’t twist, pull, or come out:
Advanced stitching techniques attach the lining at the fingertips so it stays inside the glove.
The aramid lining is designed not to stretch or pull out while donning and doffing, even when wet.
The lining is brushed on the reverse to trap more air inside the glove and boost heat protection.
This design keeps the glove feeling consistent and predictable over its service life.
Dexterity, Grip, and Fit
The Tarren Wristlet is built to balance protection with control:
An anatomical 3D cut follows the natural shape of the hand for a better fit and stronger grip.
DuPont™ Nomex® fabric between the fingers (fourchettes) improves flexibility and heat resistance.
Breathable, flexible construction supports fine motor control for tool handling, radio operation, and equipment adjustments.
The elasticized wrist helps keep the glove in place and reduces debris entry.
Styles and Sizing Options
To match department preferences and turnout gear setups, the Tarren is available in:
Gauntlet cuff style for extended coverage
Para-aramid knitted wristlet style for a tighter seal at the wrist
A wide NFPA-based size assortment covers XS through 3XL with normal, wide, extra-wide, and special-order short/long finger options, helping departments properly fit more firefighters.
Certified Protection and European Manufacturing
The Tarren Wristlet is certified by SEI to comply with NFPA 1971, 2018 Edition. NFPA® is a registered mark of the National Fire Protection Association. Each pair is manufactured in Holik’s European facilities under strict quality standards.
If your department needs a structural firefighting glove that combines leather durability, layered thermal protection, and a modern moisture/pathogen barrier, the Holik Tarren Wristlet delivers reliable performance on the fireground.
