1. A glove for protecting the back of a hand comprises:
a textile component and an electronic module component wherein the textile component comprises in order:
a flame-resistant fabric having inner and outer surfaces,
a first temperature detecting sensor located next to the inner surface of the flame-resistant fabric,
at least one thermally insulating fabric having inner and outer surfaces,
a second temperature detecting sensor located on the inner surface of the thermally insulating fabric that is closest to the skin of the wearer, and
the electronic module component comprises a removable encapsulated electronic module located in a pocket of the glove, the module further comprising:
an accelerometer,
a digital processor connected to the first and second temperature detecting sensors wherein the processor compares live temperature data input received from the first and second temperatures sensors, predicts via an algorithm the time until the glove protection will fail causing second degree body burn conditions to be experienced by the wearer and sends a predictive signal to an alerting device that warns the wearer of the upcoming failure event and
a battery power source.
