Bionic Gloves Now Get Tactical With KGloves

Logan

For a company that is already an established name in golf, baseball, hockey, weightlifting, tennis, racquetball, equestrian, and even gardening, it's a wonder why Bionic Gloves just moved into the tactical field only recently. The tactical gloves segment looks a bit crowded with all the big names in tactical gear already having their own offers, but this should not prove to be daunting for Bionic Gloves as it is highly specialized in hand protection. What we see here is that with the release of KGloves, Bionic Gloves will be going after Mechanix Wear, the only other company that is as specialized as Bionic Gloves in terms of gloves.

Bionic Gloves is much well known in the sporting world as it’s also owned Hillerich and Bradsby, the company behind Louisville Slugger and Powerbilt Golf.  Designed by an orthopedic surgeon, these gloves are claimed to be totally unique in the market as the design follows the anatomy of the hand and a good understanding of ergonomics. Perhaps that description can also be said by the competitors so the video below will explain the Bionic Gloves technology better:

With such a technology, the logical step is to make it available to the tactical gear market, including military and law enforcement organizations.  Bionic Gloves entered into a partnership with KGloves, producing the only tactical gloves in them market with the Bionic Gloves technology.  One of the features  the technology is the relief pad system which helps absorb the shocks in operations. Just by the photos below, the KGloves are profuse in the pads and the gripping areas of the palm are reinforced. I hope that while the gloves look breathable and more comfortable than the gloves we've tried from Mechanix Wear, 5.11 Tactical, and Hatch.

The KGloves are said to be tested by Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and they're the only gloves that are also produced in sizes for women, which is timely with the order of the Pentagon to have the kits such as vests and clothing to have sizes specific for women.

If KGloves can perform as claimed, reducing stress on the hand while at the same time increasing grip strength then we're all for it to be also available in the airsoft market. I just hope that they have more color options and even some designs that can be for certain tactical situations. It'll be boring just to only have the black color available.
