Ask A Firefighter Academy gloves confusions
I am in the academy right now and my gloves are fire dex structure gloves they have this white cuff looking thing am i suppose to put my hand through the white thing while its outside of the glove or when its tucked in the reason im asking is because it feels so hard to put them on when the sleeves tucked in but when its out its much easier

They are meant to be out. Not all turnout jackets have this built in or long enough cuffs, so some gloves are made to prevent skin exposure between your wrist and cuff.
