Experienced law enforcement officers and operators quickly learn which gloves they can count on. To equip users with the latest designs for their changing needs, 5.11® partnered with world-class tactical expert Jeff Gonzales, a highly-decorated and respected 12-year veteran of the Navy SEALs and president of Trident Concepts, LLC (TRICON). Gonzales, who wears gloves daily both in the field and for training, understands the demanding conditions officers and operators face. Real-world experience from Gonzales and feedback from field operators generated 5.11's outstanding Taclite, FasTac and Gladiator SL5 gloves.

If you wear gloves in hot weather, you need 5.11's lightweight, breathable Taclite® gloves. Ideal for indexing a pistol, driving and conducting searches, the cool TacLite® glove offers golf-glove agility and second-skin protection. Constructed with fine goatskin palms, the gloves feature a Lycra backing for stretchy comfort and great fit. Key components include 5.11's TacticalTouch® fingers for maximum dexterity, plus an industry first: a unique, articulated thumb design known as the 5.11 TacticalTouch® Thumb, which offers enhanced movement and touch sensation. At the base of the glove is a Velcro cuff, along with a smart strap that stays out of the way as you mop sweat from your brow. Priced from $24.99, the black Taclite® Glove is available in sizes S-2XL.

Protect your hands while descending a thick rope (fast-roping), belaying, repelling or handling a K9 lead with 5.11's FasTac® gloves. Innovative FasTacs let you retain mobility, dexterity and fingertip feeling without sacrificing performance. Made of full-grain bovine leather with 5.11's proprietary TacticalTouch technology, the durable gloves have rolled fingertips for superior fingertip sensitivity, are reinforced in areas of greatest typical wear and include palm cutouts to prevent bunching. A 3/4-length second palm and extra layer of leather between thumb and index finger add protection against heat and friction. Cut slightly larger to fit over flight or tactical gloves, FasTac gloves have draw cords so you can attach the gloves to something or quickly throw your gloves off, yet retrieve them easily. Priced from $54.99, FasTac gloves are black and available in sizes S-2XL.

Featuring a lightweight, flexible Spectra lining that is stronger than steel or Kevlar, 5.11's slash-resistant Gladiator SL5® patrol gloves are ideal for corrections applications such as prisoner transport and other high-risk environments. They meet Level 5 requirements - the highest rating for slash-resistance according to the CE Cut Resistance EN388 standard - and are evaluated by a third party for conformity. The Gladiator SL5 is made of goat skin and incorporates 5.11's TacticalTouch fingertips for durability and dexterity. The TacticalTouch design and construction method features a solid piece of leather that forms the palm and underside of the fingers, then wraps up and over each fingertip, leaving the pads of fingers free of seams. Sized from S-2XL, Gladiator SL5 patrol gloves are black and pricing begins at $74.99. Also available are Tac SL5® tactical gloves (from $63.99), which are nylon with synthetic leather palm pads and have a wrist closure with pull tab.

All 5.11 gloves deliver unmatched quality, performance, comfort and value - and each comes with a free carabineer.
