PRODEF® All-round & Weapon Gloves GEN.2, cut protection against knife attacks

The ideal tactical glove for weapon use and precise cell phone operation. Now in the revised Gen.2 version with fine leather palms.

Offers high wearing comfort despite cut resistance, for optimal grip when handling weapons.
Externally, they resemble normal gloves, but are equipped with HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene) cut protection fabric on the palm side. This offers maximum cut protection in many situations in case of self-defense.
For optimal grip and precise weapon control, the palm is made of non-slip, fine leather. The trigger finger (index finger) is specially adapted to ensure improved trigger feel when using firearms. It also allows touchscreen devices to be operated without having to remove the glove.

Why HPPE?
We rely on HPPE fibers because they offer clear advantages over aramid fibers: they are UV-stable and do not absorb moisture. This is particularly important for gloves, as it means that stability and cut resistance are not impaired by sweat. Even sunlight has no effect on the protection – the gloves can be left in the sun without hesitation.

Key features:

•     Discreet and lightweight
•     Excellent cut protection

What makes HPPE cut protection fibers so special?
HPPE is up to 40 times stronger than conventional aramid fibers, 60 times stronger than carbon or glass fibers, and 15 times stronger than steel. These properties, combined with UV stability, low elasticity, and exceptional cut resistance, make HPPE the ideal choice for protective equipment. For this reason, it is used in the manufacture of helmets, protective shields, protective clothing, and armor.

Important note:
These gloves are not personal protective equipment within the meaning of Regulation “EU 2016/425.” They have been specially developed for self-defense purposes and are not suitable for use as cut protection in a professional environment, e.g., by butchers, glaziers, or forestry workers.
