Overview: The True Trade 971-B Long Duty & Patrol Gloves are designed for high-risk operations where standard hand protection isn't enough. Featuring an extended gauntlet cuff and a premium leather construction, these gloves offer superior coverage for the hand and forearm, making them an essential asset for riot control, tactical entry teams, and heavy-duty patrol tasks.
Key Features:
Extended Soft Gauntlet Cuff: The defining feature of the 971-B is its extra-long, soft fabric gauntlet. This cuff extends well up the forearm to provide critical protection against debris, scratches, and environmental hazards. It is designed to fit seamlessly over tactical jacket sleeves to eliminate exposure gaps.
Reinforced Leather Palm: The hand section is constructed from durable, high-quality black leather. It features strategic reinforcement patches on the palm and thumb crotch—high-wear areas that require extra durability and grip retention during intense activity.
Knuckle & Back Protection: A leather strip reinforces the knuckle area, adding a layer of protection against impact and abrasion without restricting hand movement.
Precision Fit & Dexterity: Despite the heavy-duty coverage, the glove is tailored to maintain dexterity. The finger construction allows for the tactile sensitivity needed for handling equipment, searching, or operating vehicle controls.
Secure Wrist Design: An elasticized gathering at the wrist ensures the glove stays securely in place, preventing slippage even during rapid movement.
