Woodland New camouflage tactical gloves are engineered to deliver essential mechanical hand protection. Offering a snug and precise fit, these gloves ensure optimal grip and enable the user to carry out detailed tasks with ease. Perfect for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports participants, as well as being well-suited for survival expeditions, automotive repairs, DIY work, or airsoft activities.
Constructed from Armortex® fabric combined with synthetic leather, these gloves deliver enhanced grip and effectively minimize slippage, even on slick surfaces. The upper section features TrekDry® material, known for its breathability and lightweight feel, which helps to keep hands cool and reduce perspiration. The adjustable cuff is secured with velcro fasteners.
Sections of synthetic leather stitched onto the tips of the index finger and thumb enable seamless touchscreen device operation without the need to remove the gloves.
The outer layer of the gloves features reinforced panels crafted from TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber – a thermoplastic rubber compliant with EN 13594), delivering protection against abrasions and external impacts—ideal for use in structures and CQB scenarios. Segmented construction of the panels enhances finger flexibility. On the palm side, D3O® pads are integrated to cushion impact force and dampen vibrations across the metacarpal region.
Complying with the protective standard EN388 level 2121XP for mechanical resistance, these gloves provide the following:
- 2: abrasion resistance (scale 0-4)
- 1: cut resistance (scale 0-5)
- 2: tear resistance (scale 0-4)
- 1: puncture resistance (scale 0-4)
- X: cut resistance - TDM test (ISO 13997) (scale A-F)
- P: impact protection (requirement met)
The EN388 standard uses scales to specify the gloves’ protective performance: a value of 0 indicates no protection, while higher values (4, 5) denote the strongest available resistance.
The TDM method (ISO 13997) uses letter grades where A is the lowest level of protection and F is the highest.
X marking signifies that the respective parameter was either not tested or is not applicable. P marking confirms the glove satisfies impact protection criteria.
Woodland, also referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, represents a timeless camouflage pattern that was adopted by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, drawing its origins from the earlier ERDL design. Serving as the primary camouflage for the US military for over twenty years, spanning from its introduction until the close of the first decade of the 21st century, M81 stands out with its large, asymmetric shapes in varying tones of green, brown, tan, and black. These colors deliver outstanding concealment and disruptive capabilities, making it highly effective in forested environments. Due to its proven performance and widespread global recognition, Woodland has inspired numerous variants, now utilized across more than 60 military uniforms worldwide. Beyond its military heritage, the pattern’s influence has extended deep into popular culture, seamlessly transitioning from battlefield attire into mainstream everyday fashion.
