TAA means they are trade act compliant; in this case manufactured in Laos. While not Berry compliant, TAA compliance means you can still use certain government procurement methods to buy them like Government Purchase Card and GSA. Precision Pro is the model and these are cut for dexterity with hourglass finger profiles.

The Grip Glove is best explained with the photo above which shows Mechanix Wear’s Padlock Silicone Grip technology. The gloves are also touch screen compatible. Finally, the color is Covert which is a fancy term for Black.
