I keep burning my arms on hot engines and exhausts!!

I am working on hot engines all day long and I am tired of burning my arms and hands on hot exhaust pipes and other engine components. Is there a product that I can wear that will protect my arms all the way past my elbow when I am working on equipment. I just need something that I can slip on and still wear my Mechanix Wear gloves. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your email. You are not the only auto shop mechanic to suffer with burning your arm. Especially when you are reaching into places in your engine compartment that you cannot see. Mechanix Wear produces a 17 inch heat sleeve that come up just past your elbow. They are made 100% heat resistant woven Kevlar® that provides the mechanic with thermal protection for arms and elbows. You should also be able to fit your Mechanix Wear gloves over them as well. That will provide you with complete protection to your arms and hands while working on a hot engine or other equipment.
