If you’re using a smartphone or tablet with a swipe
screen then we have the perfect tactical gloves to suit
your needs courtesy of HWI.
More and more of us are carrying and using mobile
devices with touchscreens these days and there are often
situations where you need to be able to make use of them
even whilst wearing gloves. Traditional glove design,
especially for more “tactical” models, has meant that the
fingertips of the gloves have been thick and durable and
it’s not at all unusual to see fingertips cut off to aid in
trigger finger sensitivity and use of mobile devices.
The majority of the glove manufacturers have noticed
the increased adoption of touchscreen technology and
there has been a real race to bring models to market to
reflect this trend. One of the vanguards of this has been
HWI Gear.
HWI Gear is a family owned business located in Colorado
and their design and manufacturing are undertaken in the
USA where they’ve been protecting police officers, military
personnel, and other emergency professionals for over 25
years with over a million pairs of gloves sold!
The Tac-Tex Tactical Mechanic Glove (MG300) is fit for
almost any application. The glove offers a secure, snug
fit and they have great flexibility and tactility thanks to a
spandex knit back, high grade synthetic leather palm, and
special abrasion resistant PU palm reinforcement. They
work extremely well with touchscreen devices thanks to
a unique fingertip construction which allows you to swipe
through on-screen menus quickly and efficiently.
There is also sonic welded Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR)
knuckle and back of the finger protection which is low
profile yet highly effective, making them a real workhorse
for both civilian and professional users. They are perfect
for use in any shooting or tactical situation and keep the
freedom of accessing important information from your
touchscreen device with the special capacitive finger tips.
I’ve had a number of pairs of HWI gloves over the years
and all of them have been a great fit, their size Large
being absolutely perfect for me with no “palm-bag” or
mis-lengthened fingers, and the Tac-Texs’ are absolutely
spot on in this respect. They are extremely comfortable
to wear for extended periods thanks to the breathability
of the spandex back.
Once again HWI Gear seem to have the exact product
when it’s needed, and at UK£35.00 a pair these are in no
way going to break the bank. As with all HWI Gear gloves
the Tac-Texs’ are tough and durable and are a
worthy addition to any range bag. They are
available in either Black or Coyote Brown, sized
Small to XL.
