Hey, does anyone know what kind of gloves the military seem to be using now. They arent aviator gloves,, ut theyre OD and have a big black oval on the top of the hand, if anyone knows id appreciate it.

They are "Operator Gloves" made by Hatch.

That's a picture of the "shorty" version with a short cuff. There's also a version with a much longe gauntlet style cuff.

Here's the longer cuff version in black.

Awesome thanks, those are it? Is Hatch under contract by the government becuase ive seen alot of Spec Ops as well as 101st/82nd using them

[bishop1]

Woops sorry didnt mean to put the question mark in there after those are it

[scm77]

I suppose they could be under contract. Or people may just buy them because they are good.

[bishop1]

Yeah, i think they are issued to the airborne units, and those are Air Cav i think right? I also think ive seen some Marine Force Recon wearing em too. But man, those guys in the pic are loaded for bear arent they?

I don't think those are "issued". They are bought individually by the soldiers.

They might be issued, but I know alot of personell buy them at the PX.
