Insulated, exceptionally robust tactical gloves in Black/Grey, crafted specifically for professional soldiers and special forces operatives. An ideal option for those who demand lightweight, comfortable gloves that deliver outstanding hand protection and a reliable grip.
Constructed from highly durable materials and reinforced with Armortex, these gloves offer long-lasting performance. The palm area features a windproof and moisture-resistant softshell fabric, effectively blocking cold air from penetrating the gloves. Enhanced with C40 3M Thinsulate insulation, the gloves deliver superior warmth and maintain thermal comfort in extreme weather conditions.
The exterior boasts robust TPR panels (thermoplastic rubber), delivering outstanding defense against abrasions and impacts from external hazards. Meeting the standards of ANSI 138 Level 2, the panels are designed with specialized sections that facilitate finger flexion and easy fist formation. For additional protection, D3O padding is integrated, efficiently absorbing and dispersing impact forces.
The palm side features synthetic leather, offering durability and enabling precision tasks. Enhanced grip is ensured by the leather, preventing slippage on wet or smooth surfaces. A reinforced double layer of material covers the inner thumb and index finger to boost the model’s durability. The construction also permits touchscreen operation without the need to remove the gloves.
The fastening utilizes thermoplastic rubber (TPR) combined with Velcro, ensuring a highly accurate adjustment of the gloves around the wrist. A further benefit of this design is the inclusion of a snap buckle for attaching the gloves together, significantly improving ease of transport and storage.
These gloves comply with the American safety standard ANSI/ISEA 138 at level 2 for the ability to absorb impact energy. This classification includes:
- 1: basic protection against impacts
- 2: medium impact protection
- 3: high impact protection
Compliance with EN388 at level 2121XP ensures resistance to various mechanical risks:
- 2: abrasion resistance (graded 0–4)
- 1: cut resistance (graded 0–5)
- 2: tear resistance (graded 0–4)
- 1: puncture resistance (graded 0–4)
- X: cut resistance according to the TDM method (ISO 13997), rated A–F
- P: impact protection (test successfully passed)
Cold resistance is classified according to EN511 at level 11X, which covers:
- 1: protection against penetration by cold air (scale 0–4)
- 1: contact cold resistance (scale 0–4)
- X: water penetration resistance (scale 0–1)
According to the ANSI/ISEA 138 standard, impact protection is determined by measuring the force transmitted (in kN) during impact testing. A lower transmitted force signifies a higher level of glove protection.
The ratings in the EN388 and EN511 standards represent protective performance: 0 means no protection, while the highest ratings (4 or 5) denote maximum resistance. For water penetration, 0 means the glove allows penetration, while 1 means there is no penetration.
For the TDM (ISO 13997) testing method, letters are used for classification, where A designates the lowest protection and F the highest protection.
X marking signifies the parameter was either not assessed or not relevant. P marking confirms the glove satisfies the impact protection criteria.
