FirstSpear Friday Focus: Cold Climate Glove and Tactical Hand Warmer

Friday, December 18th, 2020

With Christmas right around the corner, don’t wait to order these stocking stuffers. This is not your average winter glove. The Cold Climate glove from FS is built with a keratin leather palm patch, Primaloft Gold insulation, and a waterproof breathable insert.

Incredibly warm with excellent dexterity allowing basic trigger control. Additionally, we removed the insulation from the upper half of the trigger finger to increase basic trigger manipulation and make it easier when using a touchscreen. In fact, touchscreen sensitive index fingers and adjustable wrist cuffs come standard on this premium cold climate glove from FirstSpear.

Overall the glove is incredibly light weight compared to how warm it will keep your hands. Impressive dexterity including reduced insulation in the trigger finger to increase basic fire control manipulation. Touch screen capable index fingers and adjustable cuff with a perfect amount of stretch. Available and shipping now in fatigue green and black.

Additionally, if you need another cold-weather item that’s more mission-specific, look no further than the FS Tactical Hand-Warmer. The Tactical Hand-Warmer is a perfect way to keep your fingers warm on a cold day. The fleece-lined interior is soft and retains heat exceedingly well.

The Tactical Hand-Warmer can be attached directly to your platform or worn on its own. When not needed, the included attachment strap stows inside. An attached storage bag allows the system to be packed up small and tight. The Tactical Hand-Warmer has additional pockets to hold “air activated hand warmers” or other essential items. Cuffs allow for changes in length.

Friday Focus – FirstSpear Stratton Flannels In Stock & New Colors

Friday, December 11th, 2020

FirstSpear’s new winter weight Stratton Flannels have arrived early in three new great looking colors black/white multi plaid, black/white/navy multi plaid and navy/white/gold multi plaid. Enter black and white These flannels are 100% American made in heavier 9 ounce weight. Premium construction with oversized breast pockets, exterior hang loop, and two button closure on forearm and cuff. They are machine washable and oversized to accommodate 3% shrinkage after a few cycles in the wash. Please note that the Stratton Flannel is an oversized design, step down one size from your normal T-shirt size for a standard fit.

“I have had this flannel for about a year and it is my go to fall and winter shirt. Quality is excellent. On par or better than Filson. Does run big. I’m 6ft 200lbs with a 34 in waist and generally wear an XL. I bought a large and dried it on hot and it fits well. Probably could get away with a medium for a really fitted look.” —Online Review

“When they say they ship one size larger it ships a size larger. May shrink a little after washing. Great fit for me I’m a little on the tall side so the longer sleeves and broad shoulders is perfect. The 9 oz is great up north in the mountains. Keeps you warm but if there’s a lot of wind get a cheater for it. Otherwise I feel like I can cut down a whole damn forest with this thing on. It’s not your cheap Walmart flannel and worth every penny. Save up and get one.” —Online Review
