With
the old technologies of flame resistance, you may as well go into
battle with oven mitts. New innovations allow for lightweight designs
that maximize dexterity and the tactile feel needed in critical
operations. This is the LIGHTWEIGHT FR GLOVE, an Oakley invention that
meets military flame resistance requirements with a low-bulk design of
high performance. We reinforced it with Kevlar® in the knuckle and
finger joints, and for added dexterity, the palm is constructed with
durable Pittards® leather. When you're going in fast and light, this is
the glove that gets the job done without sacrificing essential
protection.
About
Since the 1980s, Oakley has been providing U.S. troops with military gear and boots. Best known for its popular eyewear, it has spent millions on developing products for those in the armed forces. This partnership was formed to develop new technologies that improve the safety and performance of soldiers. Over time, Oakley's military line has transformed from a few models to a highly specialized division within the company. At its research facility in California, the company constantly works on new innovations. Some items are not available in retail stores, but luckily a number of military items can be purchased through public outlets.
