Superior design & materials enhance fit, function, and durability. Featuring DuPont KEVLAR back for flame and flash protection. Lean short-cuff design ideal for tactical ops. Dual-layer palm features WRX and Armortan treated premium goatskin leather from the world famous Pittards Tannery in England. The WRX treatment instills excellent water repellency keeping them supple after repeated exposure to water and perspiration. The Armortan process encases the leather fibers in ceramic for 25% more abrasion resistance than similar untreated leathers. The elasticized wrist ensures a secure fit and keeps out foreign objects. Over-wrap fingertip design keeps the seam away from the fingertips for maximum tactility and durability, preventing fingertip ""blow-outs"". Strategically placed pads protect the knuckles and fingers. Leather cradle reinforcement prevents abrasion of the KEVLAR from weapon slides. Nylon loop on wrist allows easy donning and attachment to carabiners.
