Outdoor Research Military Gloves also called Combat gloves. They usually feature a knuckle guard designed to absorb impact, extra padding, supported palms, comfortable closure around the wrists for flexibility, double stitching, and reinforced fingertips for improved grip. Conceptually, they are meant to be lightweight, dependable, and fit the form of the hand snuggly so as not to fall off in the field. Outdoor Research Military Gloves are designed for top-notch performance with longevity in mind, to anticipate excessive exposure and the wear and tear of harsh environments. Most models make sure to include exhaust ports for ventilation and breathability to keep the hands dry. The idea is to feel secure and protected in them, while still retaining dexterity and the ability to operate stealthily.
