Feedback from the SF NCOs using the Trigger glove from VS has been very good. Look for these Merino wool and Pitard leather gloves soon!

Saw a prototype last year, great Kit.
Those look badass and so does the camo in the picture. What’s the story with that?
Its Multicam Arid
Are we sure it’s not Scorpion W2-Arid variant, which is totally unrelated to MultiCam and was developed by Natick? 😉
No…
Any updates on Bookends?
No decision has been made.
Mick they’re Arids. Work with the (hilarious) guy in the photo. Really cool pattern, the color is superb and its prob not too different from some of your faded, older MC Cryes.
The gloves feel amazing, and work great with your devices…definitely recommend checking them out.
Multicam Arid.

Merino and leather? My heart leaps!
*drools* i want !!
this is a seriously awesome glove.
I have nearly every liner or “super light glove” that can be had in a search for something that gives me standoff without reducing dexterity. If they would have sold me the pair I tried on I would have left with them then and there. No doubt this is a performance glove, not an endurance glove, but I will pay to replace them more often if performance is to the level I inferred from them.
Which gloves did you try on? is it comparable to anything else out there?
I tried the trigger glove as you see it in the picture above. They didn’t have any “shapes” in the room, so I had to use my imagination, but they were the jam. The closest thing I could compare them to is a pair of FR pilots goves, but the material is Merino Wool instead Nomex. The leather was soft and only in the most essential places.
Finally! I can stop using flight gloves.
If you come from using flight gloves these will be a pleasant transition for you.
how to these compare to the PIG Alphas, thinner, better dexterity etc?
I am stoked on the material choices!
Curios however, considering that Invista recently released “combat wool” (wool/nylon blend), wouldn’t that be a more logical choice seeing that normal wool really isn’t abrasion resistant at all?
Merino wool is flash/flame resistant; nylon is not. These were made as a request for people who probably needed the performance of straight merino and can afford to replace them so the nylon is just a liability at that point.
+1
Does anyone have a guess-timate price?
Nylon, like anything else, can be given an FR treatment… And Combat Wool is only 27% nylon. Especially if price isn’t something you need to consider…

You can also get it as a double weave with a nylon face and a wool backing, which I’d guess would mean a that your wool would last a lot longer (since it doesn’t get as dirty and is more protected from abrasion). As some might know, dirty wool isn’t a functioning wool.
