In this blog post our tactical gear experts offer some helpful tips on how to choose tactical gloves.
One size does not fit all when it comes to choosing the best tactical gloves for your needs. The better the fit, the more comfortable, dexterous, and tactile your gloves will be.
Since tactical gloves tend to stretch with time and use, choose a snug comfortable fit when breaking in new gloves. That said, you don’t want a pair that is too tight. They should feel natural and not restrict your movement.
Hooks and loop Velcro wrist straps are also a good idea. They help adjust the fit and make it easier and quicker to put on and take off the gloves.
Breathable tactical gloves may also be high on your priority list. They are not designed to keep your hands warm and won’t make your hands hot and sweaty. In fact, they reduce sweating by absorbing moisture.
Breathable fabrics like nylon, mesh, polyester, and thermoplastic rubber tend to be thin, fit snugly, and offer maximum dexterity, making them ideal for use in hot weather. Some even have touch screen capability and include leather palms for durability.
Hand Protection
Depending on the purpose of the gloves, some gloves have added protection i.e knuckle, palm or fingers. Consider the area on the glove that will have the most stress and where your hands will need to most protection.
Impact Resistance
Impact-resistant work gloves protect working hands where high-impact energies are experienced. If you work with high-impact tools, Impact-resistant gloves are a great way to minimize the impact on your hands.
Insulation
Check the insulation. If you’re planning to use the gloves during cold weather, you need a pair that can protect your hands from extremely low temperatures. Because they’ll keep your hands safe from freezing, insulated tactical gloves will ensure more efficiency and safety when outdoors during the cold season.
Not all gloves have this feature though but those that do allow you to operate all modern technical devices, from smartphones to in-car entertainment systems.
