Wednesday, January 21st, 2015PIG Alpha Touch Gloves Now Available In Carbon Grey
Saturday, December 20th, 2014Patrol Incident Gear has announced that their popular Alpha Touch Gloves are now available in Carbon Grey. The Alpha Touch Gloves are currently available at select retailers, including Tactical Distributors, and will soon be available at all PIG dealers. The full release can be read below:
HOT BACON ALERT!!! The massively popular Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Alpha Touch gloves from Patrol Incident Gear (PIG) are now available in a brand new color, Carbon Grey.
The PIG FDT Alpha Touch gloves were originally developed by a Rogers Shooting School advanced graduate and are currently worn by competition shooters, sport hunters and special forces units around the globe. Two years in the making, the gloves introduced many ground-breaking industry firsts including; a sensitized and isolated trigger finger with the thinnest Clarino material available, knuckle flex joints with ventilation points, a single layer multi-piece palm for added tactile dexterity and touch-screen compatible threading in the thumb and index fingertips.
PIG developed the Carbon Grey color choice specifically for the significant number of customers who require a monotone glove option for urban environments. The tonal shade of Carbon Grey was chosen based on its compatibility with other industry grey color options, like the Arc’teryx Urban Wolf. The PIG FDT Alpha Touch gloves are also available in their original color options; black, coyote and ranger green.

PPSS Group Launch New Range Of Slash And Needle Resistant Gloves
Friday, December 5th, 2014PPSS Group has recently launched a new series of slash and needle resistant gloves which are manufactured using Cut-Tex PRO, a high-performance cut resistant fabric. There are currently 12 individual models of gloves in the series, including the HERACLES seen below. The full press release can be read below:
For immediate release – A new series of highly advanced slash and needle resistant gloves has today been launched by UK headquartered PPSS Group.
All glove models are being manufactured using an ultra-high performance cut resistant fabric known as Cut-Tex® PRO.
Offering the highest possible levels of cut and hypodermic needle resistance of any police glove on the market today PPSS Slash & Needle Resistant Gloves are most suitable for those professionals frequently facing hostile and intoxicated members of the public, such as police, prison and security officers.
Robert Kaiser, CEO of PPSS Group comments: “Based on over 50 years of combined operational frontline experience we understand that the majority of injuries found on a police, prison or security officer are to be found around the palm of the hand and forearm. These injuries are classed as ‘defensive wounds’ and can easily lead to irreparable injuries and rapid blood loss”.
“Anyone involved with the searching or restraining of potentially aggressive ‘non-compliant’ individuals is at risk of hand injuries. Hidden hypodermic needles, edged weapon or other offensive weapons are all part of today’s society and our key objective is to protect officers from them”.
PPSS Slash Resistant Gloves provide a highly advanced level of protection to the palm and fingers against all types of cuts, offering outstanding EN 388:2003 Blade Cut Resistance Level 5, the highest possible.
All twelve new models are also available with EN 388:2003 Puncture/Needle Resistance Level 4, again the highest level possible.

Mechanix Wear – ‘The Original’ High Dexterity 0.5mm Covert Glove
Sunday, May 18th, 2014
A short while ago, Mechanix Wear came out with a thinner variant of their ‘The Original’ glove design. ‘The Original’ high dexterity Covert glove features a 0.5mm synthetic leather palm for optimal tactile control. The synthetic leather extends to the form-fitting finger design, which reduces material bunching and improves feel. Breathable TrekDry material form-fits the hand for optimal dexterity. The wrist consists of a Thermal Plastic Rubber closure for a secure fit and nylon cord loop for storage.
My experience with the ‘The Original’ high dexterity covert has been overall positive. It’s a very dexterous and comfortable glove that offers precise control when manipulating a weapon, and it also manages to stay cool.
