FirstSpear Friday Focus – OG Glove now available

Friday, May 1st, 2020

FirstSpear has announced their Berry compliant shooters glove is now available for commercial purchase.

The Operator Glove was designed for and currently fielded by United States Special Operations teams who required a shooters glove that provides the balance between strength and protection vs weight and dexterity. The FirstSpear OG provides the end user a reliable solution to this common glove dilemma now available for the first time on the FS web store in Sand and Commando colorways.

Built with the most technologically advanced materials and modern construction techniques it is inherently flame retardant with patterning and fit that makes it feel like you are not wearing a glove at all. This design allows for maximum manipulation and feel for fire control and other key weapon functions. The entire glove including the trigger finger itself has an advanced patent pending design to increase transmission of feedback to the user. Core spun merino wool, Pitards goat leather, touch screen compatibility, are just a few of the features found on the OG.

In order to achieve these levels of peak performance FirstSpear used materials and construction techniques that provide for the best in tactile responsiveness but by their very nature will not stand up to extremely long periods of hard abuse and should be expected to wear out. FS states that the these gloves were designed to perform exceptionally well through a standard train up and deployment and therefore do not come with the standard lifetime warranty commonly found on plate carriers, bags, packs, and other equipment.

Features:
Touch screen compatible thumb and index fingers
Core spun Merino wool with nylon core
FS-HDL Leather palm
No melt, no drip materials
Inherently anti-bacterial odor suppression
Enhanced breathability
Low water uptake / soft drying

NSNs are assigned to both Commando and Sand Colorways in sizes Small – 2X.

Available now. 100% American Made with US Materials.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Online Ordering Update

Friday, March 27th, 2020

Note to Customers –

FirstSpear’s manufacturing factories are up and producing critical DOD and LE items, but some of our inventory for online purchases is running low with the increased demand over the last few weeks. Many of our customer service and office personnel are working from home, so response times on commercial questions are also lagging more than usual. It’s always been our policy to prioritize deploying US forces and urgent Law Enforcement requirements, so please bear with us as we get caught up with commercial requests. We remain open for business and committed to supporting the professional user with rapid development, prototyping and production throughout these challenging times.

First responders and medical personnel have discovered our OIG and OCG gloves work great in conjunction with nitrile gloves and help reduce breaking and tearing while providing excellent touch screen functionality. All sizes are currently in stock.
