Frequently Asked Questions

What are tactical gloves used for?

Tactical gloves are hardy, durable hand coverings most often used by law enforcement officers, Tier One operators, other military members, avid hunters, or shooting sports enthusiasts in order to properly protect the hands and provide the ability to handle weaponry safely without sacrificing the user's dexterity. They are a protective gear designed to support a range of activities from professional to recreational. Outside of work, they can conveniently substitute as winter gloves and can also be used for outdoor activities like paintball, airsoft, dirt biking, and motorcycle riding.

Those who serve in the military generally use tactical gloves and are offered a suggested range of uniform and gear options that meet the quality standards of the organization. Some popular glove brands recommended and used by members of the U.S. Army are Mechanix and Oakley, which can be found here on our website. The military does not require a specific brand or model.

What gloves do the Special Forces wear?

There is not one specific glove brand that members of the special operations forces wear. However, as mentioned above, certain Mechanix and Oakley models seem to be the preferred crowd favorite. Structurally, combat gloves offer all of the features needed for Special Forces officials - from anatomical reinforcement to fire resistance. They even come in a variety of colors to blend in with the given uniform.

What are combat gloves?

Combat gloves are any type of tactical glove worn for military use or self-defense. They usually feature a knuckle guard designed to absorb impact, extra padding, supported palms, comfortable closure around the wrists for flexibility, double stitching, and reinforced fingertips for improved grip. Conceptually, they are meant to be lightweight, dependable, and fit the form of the hand snuggly so as not to fall off in the field. Combat gloves are designed for top-notch performance with longevity in mind, to anticipate excessive exposure and the wear and tear of harsh environments. Most models make sure to include exhaust ports for ventilation and breathability to keep the hands dry. The idea is to feel secure and protected in them, while still retaining dexterity and the ability to operate stealthily.
