Do any of you have any ideas about what gloves are good for someone with small hands? I have x-small and they are still to big.

Try the ProTech gloves. It's been my experience that they run a little small. Plus, compared to "regular" firefighting gloves, you could d@mn-near do brain surgery with the ProTechs.

I'm looking for gloves that can be used in the firefighter combat challenge.  I've seen guys using gloves that are supposively auto ex. gloves which are tight fitting with excellent grip ( mainly for the hoist ).  If anyone knows knows anything that may help, let me know.  Thanks

Gotta agree with Chase on this one.  I have a pair and wouldn't trade them for anything.

Do both of you guys use them for the combat challenge?

I have to ask this since I didn't see it mentioned under the ringers glove description.  Is this an NFPA approved glove?

I've never used them in a combat challenge - but they are on my hands for every extrication I've done.

Here is a link to the product description at The Fire Store.  Don't see the NFPA approval mentioned - but they meet other standards for bloodbourne pathogens as described in the link.  http://www.thefirestore.com/store/product.cfm/pid_4112_ringers_barrier_1_extrication_gloves_short_cuff_hi_viz/
