Nomex flight gloves are popular with ground pounders for many reasons. First, they’re in the system and pretty easy to get. Second, they offer just enough protection to prevent minor scrapes, cuts and burns that would otherwist distract you without causing a major loss of dexterity. But, they barely take the sting out of touching cold metal, do nothing to keep you warm when they get wet, and they fall apart when exposed to a barely a couple weeks worth of sweat and hard use.
Velocity Systems took a long look at what guys like about the issued Nomex flight glove and addressed every shortcoming with their new Trigger Glove ($44).
The thin glove forms a second skin using supple, yet durable Pittard’s leather on the palm with a Merino Wool and Nylon blend on the back. The result is a wonder of dexterity that improves on the beloved Nomex Flight Glove in key areas, namely durability and comfort.
Worn alone, the Trigger Glove is ideal for weapon manipulation, driving and handling all manner of metal in three, or perhaps all four seasons. It’s also thin enough to wear under heavy winter gloves, offering protection when your digits come out for fine work. Start looking for them Friday at dealers and on Velocity System’s webstore.
