Meet the DRIFIRE FORTREX FR Contact Glove

January 17th, 2019

Cleveland, OH –  The team at DRIFIRE® announces the launch of the DRIFIRE® FORTREX® FR Contact Glove.  

The DRIFIRE FR Contact Glove leads with the breathable, moisture wicking power of FORTREX FR fabric and a hex grip palm and fingers for optimized contact. Featuring breathable, moisture wicking FORTREX® FR fabric, the FR – flame resistance – is inherent; it won’t wash out – and won’t melt or drip. The ultimate in contact durability, DRIFIRE’s FR Contact Glove has leather reinforcements at the touch areas and weapons manipulation surfaces for a second skin feel with an enhanced Berry compliant FR hex grip on the palm.

See innovative technologies from DRIFIRE at SHOT Show, booth 32309 and in the New Product Showcase.
