Gloves for IVA & EVA

FFD was founded from a prize winning entry in NASA’s 2009 Astronaut Glove Challenge, where our pressurized gloves outperformed NASA’s current technology in several key categories.  Since then, we have focused on this especially challenging and vital part of the space suit. Read on below or contact us directly to discuss your mission needs:

Double Layer IVA

Our IVA gloves include a traditional and inexpensive double layer glove, with limited range of motion but a comfortable, solid feel. 

Single Layer IVA

Our more advanced single layer IVA gloves feature custom molded fingertips, increased dexterity and range of motion, and unsurpassed tactility.

Advanced EVA

In 2011, NASA contracted FFD to further develop their EVA glove technology. Our latest EVA pressure garment gloves include a gimbal wrist joint with 2 degrees of freedom, remarkable range of motion and tactility, and a high operating pressure.
