Tactical gloves for shooting, duty and field use
Shop tactical gloves built for handling equipment without losing the feel in your fingers. Our selection includes lightweight shooting gloves, abrasion-resistant models for regular field use, cut-resistant patrol gloves and insulated winter options. You can choose a close-fitting pair for the range or add the weather protection and reinforcement your work calls for.
The current range comes from Master of Gloves (MoG), with very different designs for different jobs. A thin palm helps you feel small controls; a tougher palm suits repeated contact with equipment and rough surfaces. For wet or cold days, choose the weather protection first, then check that the fit still lets you use your equipment comfortably.
Lightweight shooting gloves or tougher field gloves?
For range sessions and detailed equipment handling, we recommend MoG Target Light Duty. Its 0.6 mm DexSuede palm keeps material between your hand and the equipment to a minimum, while the stretch back allows your fingers to move freely. It is a practical starting point when sensitivity matters more than extra padding.
Choose Target High Abrasion if you want a more wear-resistant palm for frequent training and field use. The 0.8 mm ArmaSuede palm gives you a slim glove with greater abrasion resistance. If you also want flexible coverage on the back of the hand, Target High Abrasion ErgoShield adds moulded TPR patches for basic impact protection.
For a thin palm with a dedicated knuckle protector, consider Target Combat. It pairs 0.6 mm DexSuede with a flexible D3O knuckle insert. This is a different balance from High Abrasion: choose it for knuckle protection and finger sensitivity, rather than assuming that every combat glove has the same palm construction.
Winter tactical gloves: choose for cold, wind or rain
- Cool, windy days: FrostLite is a light brushed-fleece softshell glove for mild cold. It also works as a liner in a layered winter setup.
- Cold-weather training: Target Polar adds fleece lining to a close-fitting tactical design. Its windproof, water-repellent softshell back suits cold days when you still need to handle small controls.
- Rain and moderate cold: Shelter has a waterproof PU membrane and a merino-blend lining. Choose it when keeping wind and rain out matters more than adding knuckle reinforcement.
- Deeper winter: FrostTac ECW Mitten combines Solarcore insulation with a waterproof Hipora membrane and a separate index finger. It is the option to consider when warmth takes priority over the low bulk of a shooting glove.
Water-repellent fabric and a waterproof membrane are not the same thing. Target Polar sheds moisture but is not the waterproof alternative to Shelter. For longer periods in the cold, allow room for insulation and any liner rather than choosing the tightest possible fit.
Get the fit right before choosing a colour
A shooting glove should follow your fingers without loose material bunching at the fingertips or palm. It should also let you close your hand comfortably. Measure your hand using the selected product's size guide; a familiar size letter from another brand is only a starting point.
Most of our MoG tactical models offer numbered sizes from 6 (XS) to 12 (3XL). Shelter uses overlapping sizes—S (7–8), M (8–9), L (9–10) and XL (10–11)—so use its own chart. Check the available colour and size together: not every combination is available at the same time.
Buy tactical gloves from ESTTAC
Order your shooting, duty or winter gloves from ESTTAC with shipping from Europe. If you take them off regularly, add a MoG Glove Holder to keep them attached to your belt or MOLLE-equipped kit. Its adjustable strap and hook give you a place to secure the gloves instead of pushing them into a pocket.
Tactical gloves: buying questions
For a close fit with a cut-resistant lining, start with MoG 2ndSkin 8108B. Its thin leather palm and low-seam index finger help preserve touch sensitivity, while the lining provides EN 388 cut resistance at level C in the TDM test. The full rating is 1421C. This does not establish needle resistance; choose to your unit's actual protection requirements rather than treating all tactical gloves as equivalent.
No. Abrasion resistance, cut resistance and knuckle protection address different risks. Target High Abrasion is a good choice when palm wear is the issue; Target Combat adds D3O knuckle protection; 2ndSkin is the cut-resistant option described above. A reinforced back or high abrasion rating does not by itself tell you how the glove performs against cuts.
Target Light Duty, Target High Abrasion, ErgoShield and Target Combat have touchscreen-compatible features. For cold weather, FrostLite and Target Polar support touchscreen use too. If you specifically want direct skin contact, ErgoShield Trivium has a semi-fingerless design. The exposed fingertips are not protected, so choose it for that trade-off rather than cutting the fingers off a full glove.
Yes. FrostLite can be worn beneath FrostTac ECW Mitten as part of MoG's layered cold-weather system. The liner is a separate purchase. MoG recommends going one or two sizes up in the mitten when layering; try the combination together so it does not compress your fingers or restrict movement. Warmth also depends on activity, wind and exposure time.
Choose MoG Fast Rope Tactical 9165 for that specific job. It has a layered split-leather palm designed to manage friction and heat during fast-rope use while retaining dexterity for subsequent equipment handling. An ordinary shooting glove is not a substitute simply because it has a reinforced palm or silicone grip.
It depends on the model. FrostLite has manufacturer instructions allowing machine washing at 30°C, for up to five wash cycles. ErgoShield Trivium is not washable, and Fast Rope Tactical is not machine washable. Follow the care label for your exact pair; one cleaning method is not suitable for every leather, membrane and protective lining.
