Likwid Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 also LOLSecure grip of Unobtainium® on fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluebird Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) from the other reviews i have found on the webs they are mainly used as military, shooting, mountain biking gloves. http://www.tucsonguns.com/ShootingGloves-001.phphttp://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=93698so not sure on the motorcycle, but then i have a crappy pair of single stitch mx gloves so these have to be at least equal to those.

bigbluebird Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 also LOLwhen you want the unobtainable get Unobtainium® it only makes sense but i have a feeling it is just a rubber impregnated fabric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think they were designed to beat up Iraqis. But I always wondered how "tuff" they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsump Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oakley makes a good product. They make the same glove available for law enforcement. Our SWAT team uses the Oakley gloves and love them. They are really nice and the stitching is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 These are not motorcycle gloves people. Go buy some full leather gloves with stitching designed to stand up to some abuse. I've had some experience with the top gloves here in Iraq. The back of the glove is all cloth and is not designed for abrasion resistance at all. The knuckle is good for punching stuff, but that's about it. The palm is designed to protect your hands from the sharp edges of crew served weapons and humvee doors. We had people bust the stitching on brand new pairs of gloves when we were still training in the states. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
