The Mechanix Wear CarbonX Level 1 Flame-Resistant Gloves are SFI 3.3/1 fire protection gloves designed for motorsports, hot brake changes, hot engine work, fueling operations, automotive maintenance, fleet support, and industrial tasks where flame-resistant hand protection is required by the jobsite hazard assessment.
These CarbonX Level 1 gloves combine a genuine leather palm with a CarbonX layer for heat and flame resistance, while the top of the hand uses a comfortable fire-retardant CarbonX stretch-knit material for flexibility and hand movement. Reinforced leather panels in high-wear areas help improve durability during repeated handling, maintenance, and hot-work support tasks.
A wide leather cuff allows easier entry, while the hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit during active work. Sold by the pair and available in multiple sizes, these Mechanix Wear FR gloves are a practical option for teams that need flame-resistant gloves with better dexterity than heavier heat gloves.

Safety Note
Flame-resistant gloves are not fireproof. Select hand protection based on the specific hazard, contact temperature, exposure time, flame risk, abrasion risk, grip needs, and manufacturer instructions. These gloves should not be treated as structural firefighting gloves, electrical protective gloves, chemical-resistant gloves, arc flash gloves, or cut-rated gloves unless separate certification is provided.

Buying Guide: CarbonX Level 1 vs. Heavier Heat Gloves
Choose CarbonX Level 1 gloves when workers need flame resistance, hand movement, and dexterity for hot engine work, racing support, fueling, and maintenance tasks.
Choose heavier heat-resistant gloves when the job involves prolonged contact with hot material, higher contact temperatures, foundry work, oven handling, or heavy welding exposure.
FAQ
What are Mechanix Wear CarbonX Level 1 gloves used for?
They are used for racing, hot brake changes, hot engine work, fueling operations, automotive maintenance, and other tasks where flame-resistant gloves are needed.
