What Gloves Do I Need? Tactical Edition.
The right tactical glove isn’t just about protection. It’s about having the right protection for the job without losing the grip, dexterity or comfort you need to stay effective.
POLICE & SECURITY
For patrol, searches and frontline duties, look for gloves with cut resistance, reinforced palms and touchscreen-compatible fingertips. A secure, close-fitting design also helps maintain the dexterity needed to handle equipment and complete tasks without removing your gloves.
SHOOTING & RANGE
When trigger control and precision matter, prioritise dexterity and grip over bulky protection. Look for lightweight, flexible construction, a textured or synthetic suede palm, padded knuckles and touchscreen-compatible fingertips.
COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
Cold conditions demand more than just a thicker glove. Look for insulation, water resistance and wind protection, while still allowing enough dexterity to handle equipment. Features such as 3M Thinsulate insulation, water-resistant construction and touchscreen-compatible palms can help keep your hands protected and functional.
EVERYDAY DUTY
For long shifts, driving and general duties, a lightweight glove can be the better choice. Look for breathable materials, a close-fitting design, durable palms and touchscreen compatibility, giving you protection and everyday practicality without unnecessary bulk.
MILITARY & FIELD OPERATIONS
For demanding field work, prioritise impact protection and durability while retaining the movement you need. Look for reinforced knuckles and fingers, impact-absorbing palm padding, durable palms and a flexible, form-fitting construction.
The best glove depends on the job. Choose the protection, features and fit that match how you’ll actually use it.
