About Setwear
The HotHand is made from heat resistant leather, with a reinforced second layer of leather on the palm and key wear areas. Setwear rates it at Level 2 for contact heat, up to 250°C or 480°F. Pinched fingertips help when gripping small hardware, and an extended cuff covers the wrist. The glove is insulated against both hot and cold conditions, and Setwear lists uses that include lighting, rigging, rappelling, belaying, rescue and cold weather work. It suits gaffers, electrics and rigging crews on film, television and stage productions.
Sizing matters with work gloves, since a loose fit reduces grip and a tight one tires your hands over a long shift. Setwear makes the HotHand in sizes from X-Small to XX-Large, and we stock the medium. If you are unsure, compare with a work glove that already fits you well. For lighting work, remember the rating is for contact heat, which covers handling hot surfaces rather than holding a hot lamp for long periods, so let fixtures cool where you can. Replace gloves once the palm leather wears thin or hardens.
Setwear questions
What heat can Setwear HotHand gloves handle?
Setwear rates the HotHand at Level 2 for contact heat, up to 250°C or 480°F. That rating covers touching hot surfaces such as lighting fixtures, not prolonged holding, so limit contact time with very hot equipment.
What sizes do Setwear HotHand gloves come in?
Setwear makes the HotHand in X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large. Electronic Australia currently stocks the medium size. If you are unsure about fit, compare against a work glove you already wear comfortably.
Are Setwear HotHand gloves suitable for cold weather?
Yes. Setwear describes the HotHand as insulated against hot and cold elements and lists cold weather applications alongside lighting, rigging, rappelling, belaying and rescue work, which makes it useful for night shoots and outdoor rigging.
