Friday, August 2nd, 2013215 Gear Launches New Gloves
Friday, July 5th, 2013
Operators Extremely Light Weight Glove was designed as an extremely light weight, breathable glove for Special Operations use. The ergonomic cut of this glove does not have long fingers or short thumbs, as many import gloves do. Leather palms and reinforcements allow for maximum dexterity, while providing outstanding traction in wet conditions. The entire upper of the glove is made from our custom, highly breathable mesh. The cuff stops at the wrist, for less heat retention. Low profile carabineer loop for hanging on kit.
Available in Small (8), Medium (9), Large (10), X-large (11)
And, you can save this weekend on these new gloves as well as other 215 Gear during the Red, White, Blue sale.
Darley Defense Days – Line of Fire
Tuesday, June 11th, 2013I’ve been writing about Line of Fire and their TEGS system for several years. The one I want to mention today is the new Wookie which is an FR winter glove.
The Wookie is part what will eventually be a three part system and is intended for cold weather use.
Every glove comes with a 36″ roll of TEGS tape so you can modify your gear. Additionally, LoF offers TEGS squares. LoF offers touchscreen compatibility as an option on any glove with digital goatskin palm.
There are lots of new things coming from LoF so stay tuned.
