How to Protect Your Hands With Tactical Gloves

Posted by Bryan on 7/10/2013 to Fire Equipment
Tactical gloves are a necessity for law enforcement officers, from patrol cops to SWAT team members, and for anyone in the field. Deciding which tactical gloves to buy is not an easy task though, and the right pair can vary based on the factors that an officer faces.

Different Gloves For Different Situations

Depending on what conditions law enforcement personnel are facing, different gloves may be more appropriate. For instance, those going into a riot control situation may put protection above all else, so tactical gloves with heavy knuckle guards and cut protection might be top priority. On the other hand, patrol officers who need to keep warm while still maintaining maximum dexterity and tactile sensation might find that thin leather or resistant weave gloves (sometimes called strangler gloves) are best for completing that particular task. Gloves that are light and which breathe may be more important in warmer weather though. All of these considerations have to be carefully weighed by officers when they decide what equipment they're going to take with them into the field.

Better Safe Than Sorry

While officers on foot or bike patrol might have only a limited amount of space to carry equipment with them, those who have patrol cars regularly assigned to them can keep a kit bag of all the different tools they'll need to have with them. These bags can include body armor, additional restraints, cold weather accessories and road accident signs, so why not also include a variety of gloves to help handle everything that an officer might come across? It is always better to have a tool and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it. After all, that's the very reason that officers have so many different options for enforcing the laws of the land.
