From swagman to SF, these gloves rock

The Hatch CQB glove is amazing. It's made of Kevlar with a kangaroo skin palm. The cuff is long enough to cover your watch and fits nicely under your ACU cuff. The fabric is thin enough that you can do most tasks (including shooting) without removing the glove. I spent 3 months in training and 12 months operating in Iraq with these. I still have the pair (although they are nearly black now), and they still go to the field with me every time. Great gloves.
I want ti receive a catalog

What is your MOS when using these. S.F. Infantry Medic ect If you are sitting in a tower it doesnt say much about the gloves if you are out and about.

Patrick, I was a Truck Platoon Leader. Lots of tire changes, cargo handling...some shooting, etc. They really are great gloves. The kangaroo leather doesn't wear out. Every once in a while you'll get a stitch come undone. Just put a lighter to it and you're good.

I have 2 pairs of these gloves. The 1st pair wore out way to soon. The leather in the fingers wore away. Will have to see how the second pair does. Have also bought a pair of Oakley gloves to see how well they hold up.

I own a pair of a Hatch CQB SF gloves, and i have to say they are my favorite, especially out here in Iraq. Being Infantry, you need to have protective gloves at all time, and these babies are by far more durable than the issued Air Crew Nomex ones. A bit of a steep price tag, but worth the money spent.
I have owned the Oakley Gloves and both stand up pretty tall... Just don't handle C-wire with them as you'll wear them down at a much more rapid rate. If these gloves were coupled with Carbon knuckles like that of the Oakley Gloves or Wiley X ones, I am sure it would be one kick ass hybrid.
