Review on TAC9ER Kevlar Lined Tactical Gloves: Full Hand Protection, Cut & Temperature Resistant, Touchscreen Friendly For Men & Women by Jeff Hall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There's a sizing issue

Everyone's saying these gloves run small, but that's an oversimplification. I bought up a size, as many have suggested (XL instead of my usual L), but the fit was still wrong. I own many pairs of gloves and have done several side-by-side comparisons and have come to the conclusion that the person who designed these gloves just had really unusual fingers. The relative lengths of each of the fingers are off. So one or two fingers may fit perfectly but the others may be up to 1/2 inch too long or too short, depending on which size you ordered. In all my glove-wearing life I've never seen this before.I happen to know how to sew and have all the equipment to do it right, so it only took me less than an hour to shorten the offending fingers. Now the gloves are great. Given that it amounted to less than an hour of inconvenience to solve the issue myself, I only deducted one star. But in all likelihood, this issue will be more of a problem for you.But otherwise, they seem to be really good, high-quality gloves. I haven't had them for very long, so can't attest to long-term durability.

Pros
  • Offers peace of mind and safety
Cons
  • The gloves may lose their shape over time
