Haha, yep...I frequent all of those forums. I've noticed your name @ all of them too, and figured it was the same person. It's nice to get the opinions of alot of different people. A Well Regulated Militia has some good forums also, but they seem to be "anti-everything-government-related" over there...but some good info nonetheless. And no, i'm not stalking you LOL :-)<br><br>John McIntire

I checked out AWRM a while ago, I think when they first started, I'm probably still registered there, it seemed over the top for me. Could ya PM me the link anyways.<br>Glad you're not stalking me. :~)<br><br>

In a disaster scenario, I think the kevlar gloves are a better bet than the spectra. For the simple reason kevlar has close to the same temperature rating as nomex. About 900 deg F for kevlar. So in addition to the abrasion, cut and (limitied) puncture resistance, you also get basicly fireproof gloves too.
Alot of these tactical equipment places also sell kevlar hoods and sleeves. It seems these might be a good addition to a BOB, as you get fire resistance like the nomex gear plus the added cut protection.
