Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Unique Style, Materials and Build
Cons:

The Oakley - Standard Issue Assault Gloves are an extremely comfortable tactical glove option. These gloves feel very different then more traditional tactical gloves from Hatch, Blackhawk, Damascus, etc, due to the use of non traditional materials.

Rugged mico-vented leather palm reinforced.
Carbon fiber knuckle plating.
Premium leather and durable synthetics with flexible articulated construction.
Mesh zones and rubber exhaust ports for comfortable breathability.
Surfacing on palms and fingers for a secure grip plus textured pull for easy donning.
4-way stretch material and Airprene� joint panels for superior fit and dexterity.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

I would rate these gloves as average as they are neither bad, nor good at anything in particular. Unlike the BlackHawk! HD gloves, there is an excess of material to allow the knuckles to sit correctly when a fist is made. This means when one is holding their hand open or not fully closed there is an excess of material on finger tips that hinders the user's finger dexterity.

Additionally the colors, or lack thereof, on these gloves makes them a less than good choice. I find these gloves are much easier to spot due to the odd designs and heavy use of mixed colors such as a dark on light, and thus draws an enemy's eyes to your hands.

I do like one thing about these gloves and that is their strength. THey seem to be built more than well enough and should last through some decent use however the lacking of really doubled up seems does worry me.

Given these, I would suggest someone save their money and get the Blackhawk! SOLAGs or SOLAG HD's instead.
