Featured Materials
Here’s a brief overview of some of the materials we’ll be showcasing:
- AX Rivolta + Connect: Rivolta is a revolution in core palm materials and a hero material for tactical gloves. Available in multiple thicknesses and colors, its 0.75mm gauge is a go-to for tactical due to its higher dexterity feel. Combined with durability, comfort, and a superior nubuck grip, it checks all the boxes for everything an all-around tactical glove could need. AX Connect technology enables touchscreen compatibility and is available in black, coyote, and grey colors.
- AX 10W- Solution Dyed Black: The toughest palm suede on the market is now available in solution dyed black. 10W delivers industry-leading abrasion resistance with the highest possible EN388 and ANSI abrasion ratings for extreme durability.
- AX Medora™ FR: A synthetic fire-resistant leather alternative engineered with a cotton base, Bio-PU content, and FR chemistry. Meets EN407 Level 4 for FR Burning Behavior and all global chemical compliance.
- AX Cutora™: A patent-pending cut-resistant material that combines a palm suede and cut fabric using advanced HPPE technology. Provides maximum cut protection and dexterity without the bulk of an additional lining. Reaches Level A5 for ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 cut protection – coming soon in A6!
