These gloves are a short cuff type of flight glove created by Blackhawk. Whiel a bit overkill for airsoft, extremely comfortable, highly durable and features:
- DuPont™ KEVLAR® back for flame and flash protection.
- Lean short-cuff design ideal for tactical ops.
- Dual-layer palm features WRX and Armortan® treated premium goatskin leather from the world famous Pittards™ Tannery in England. The WRX treatment instills excellent water repellency keeping them supple after repeated exposure to water and perspiration. The Armortan® process encases the leather fibers in ceramic for 25% more abrasion resistance than similar untreated leathers.
- The elasticized wrist ensures a secure fit and keeps out foreign objects.
- Over-wrap fingertip design keeps the seam away from the fingertips for maximum tactility and durability, preventing fingertip "blow-outs".
- Strategically placed pads protect the knuckles and fingers.
- Leather cradle reinforcement prevents abrasion of the KEVLAR® from weapon slides.
- Nylon loop on wrist allows easy donning and attachment to carabiners.
The low price was due to this being a Blackhawk Clearance item plus using the Airsoft Extreme/Blackhawk discount.

I got these for free with an order from Blackhawk! and I can say they are great gloves. Needless to say the more modern lines outclass them in many ways but one can see that there is still a good place for these. With fewer plush points and seems, these gloves seem like they can be treated much more harshly and will take much more rubbing punishment as there are fewer points for seems to pop.
That said the dexterity in these gloves is somewhat clumsy and I suggest if you get a pair of these you cut the finger tips off as the material over them makes these gloves some what restrictive to use.
