I like the ideal, but why would you make a non-insulated white tactical glove and market it for military use? Maybe it’s for the white glove inspections and white Ops.
White is the original adaptive camo.
It will soon conform to any environment that it is drug through.
in Georgia it turns red/green,
in Qatar it turns tan,
under trucks it turns black.
I’ll go find the mag since it relates back to the last project I was working on. Again I’d be interested in this if it was one of thier winter gloves. It would work as a contact glove I suppose but not sure where it would fit in a glove system.
Oh please. The system is the farthest from an actual arctic system it could be. It’s outright dangerous. There are so many problems with it I don’t know where to begin. Whether you were there or not is pretty irrelevant.
I’d use these and I nearly guarantee I’m working in ugly cold conditions a lot. You don’t always want or need something bulky and super warm. I rarely use mittens or insulated gloves. You move and you keep warm. You need dexterity –if your hands get cold, MTFU. If they get unusable, put them in your pockets.
Unauthorized use of uniform cargo storage area. The U.S. Army would like to mention that they would rather you lose fingers and collect disability for life than put your hands in your pockets.
Lots of the sidewalk soldiers who sweated that stuff dropped their 20 year letters and left the force between ’04 and ’08 when the job got hard for real (one target indicator of that mindset in that era was a pristine right shoulder).
Then USASMA thought it needed to get to work cranking out replacements.
Then SMA Dailey. Who will still stop and wreck you if he sees you doing that sh!t on a 60° day.
“If your hands get cold, man the fuck up”. So I can safely assume you’re not working in extremely cold temperatures? We’re talking below zero, windy, snowy, etc.
What?

One less piece of gear you need to find or paint for your Tom Cruise/”Oblivion” themed costume?
If the comments had a “like” button, I’d hit it for this.
They just made it for the RecoilMag/Beyond garbage “Arctic System”. Just for a silly cover shoot really.
Garbage? Everything there is real and works. I was at Beyond when they were working on it.

Maybe the mag explains.

I’m all ears.
I’ll email you.
I just want one of the gloves so I can be Tactical Michael Jackson…
Hee hee. Pew!
Pro Tip: No sequins on the index finger.
It’s cool, but not double the price of my coyote mpact cool.
I thought the same, pretty cool novelty item but not worth the $50. AND I don’t even mind the fact it’s non-insulated.

Correct, not extreme cold conditions.
Agree. To use in uphill evolutions while alpine patrolling.

Need to be waterproof for snowball fights.
New golf glove?
