The 221B Tactical Commander Gloves deliver Level 5 cut protection and hard-knuckle impact defense in a slim-fit design built for full dexterity. HPX palm construction meets injection-molded rubber knuckle and finger guards, while Armor-Skin grip surfaces and dual-finger touch-screen compatibility keep you operational from holster draw to device input. Available in sizes Small through XL, these gloves are built for patrol, SWAT, and entry applications where hand protection and manual precision both matter.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement officers and SWAT operators who need cut resistance and impact protection without sacrificing trigger control or tool manipulation.
• Military and security personnel requiring full-dexterity tactical gloves that hold up across prolonged patrol or entry work.
• Responsible citizens and armed professionals who want a hard-knuckle glove with touch-screen capability for everyday carry and range use.

Protection and construction

The Commander's palms are constructed from 100% HPX material, providing Level 5 cut protection — the highest cut-resistance rating available under the EN 388 glove standard. Injection-molded rubber hard knuckle guards cover the primary knuckles, and additional injection-molded rubber segments protect the fingers against impact. These aren't bolt-on shields; the molded construction integrates the protection directly into the glove's structure so coverage stays in place under load.

Armor-Skin covers the palms and fingertips to deliver high-grip purchase on weapons, tools, and surfaces in wet or dry conditions. The slim-fit, low-profile design keeps material bulk out of the trigger guard and off the grip, which matters when a missed draw costs time.

Dexterity and touch-screen capability

The index finger and thumb carry Smart-Touch material, allowing direct interaction with smartphones and touch-screen devices without removing the glove. The slim-fit cut prioritizes hand mobility — operators can manipulate small items, cycle controls, and handle gear without fighting the glove. At the range, grip performance and trigger-finger clearance both hold up.

Care and maintenance

Hand wash with anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What does Level 5 cut protection mean?

Level 5 is the highest cut-resistance classification under the EN 388 standard for protective gloves. The Commander achieves this rating through 100% HPX palm construction, which resists cutting forces that would penetrate lower-rated materials. This makes the glove appropriate for high-risk contact with sharp edges, wire, or debris during tactical operations.

Do these gloves work with touch screens?

Yes. The index finger and thumb are fitted with Smart-Touch material that registers on capacitive touch screens — phones, tablets, and in-vehicle displays — without removing the glove.

Can I shoot accurately while wearing these?

Yes. The slim-fit design and low-profile knuckle guards are engineered to preserve trigger-finger mobility and grip feel. Customer feedback consistently confirms clean holster draws and no interference with trigger manipulation.

Are these gloves true to size?

Generally, yes. A size chart is available on the product page. Customer experience suggests the gloves fit true to size for most hands; those who prefer a looser fit or plan to wear them over a base layer may want to size up. Contact us if you need sizing guidance before ordering.

How do I care for the Commander Gloves?

Hand wash with anti-bacterial soap and warm water, then lay flat to dry. Machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended and may degrade the grip surfaces and molded protection components over time.

Are there any shipping restrictions for these gloves?

The Commander Gloves are non-ballistic tactical gloves and are not subject to body armor shipping restrictions. They ship to all U.S. states. International shipping availability is subject to export regulations — contact us for details on international orders.
