Gloves functions include hand protection from injuries, convenient use of weapons, and versatility.
Tactical full-finger gloves of the “Mechanix” brand are popular among the military due to their versatility, functionality, and comfort. The gloves provide protection for the hands from the wrist to the fingertips, while remaining flexible enough to fit comfortably on the fighter’s hands.
The gloves are equipped with special pads that provide protection against injuries and bruises, as well as against skin damage. The accessory is made of a special synthetic fabric that provides maximum adhesion to the hand allowing the gloves to fit tightly enough on the hand and at the same time not compress it. Special light fabric allows hands not to sweat in the summer, which is particularly important when using gloves. Special synthetic leather is sewn on the pads area of the index and thumb, which helps to work with touchscreen gadgets in the field conditions. This feature is especially important for aerial reconnaissance or artillery units. Plastic panels are installed on the outer layer of the gloves, within the phalanges of the fingers, which additionally protect the soldier’s fingers from mechanical damage. The palms of the gloves have pads made of foam material to provide additional protection to the palms as the most vulnerable part of the hand. There is a special Velcro cuff on the wrist of the gloves for better adjustment.
The gloves are available in a variety of field-acceptable colors and camouflages (Multicam, Woodland, coyote, olive, etc.). The size guide is represented by both classic S, M, L…etc., and standard hand sizes (8, 9, 10). Be sure to check the size of the gloves with the fighter.
There are also analogs of the same brand, but they are less functional, for example, the models FastFit gloves or Originals gloves.
