D7 Special - Buffalo Leather Skeleton Glove

D7 Special - Buffalo Leather Skeleton Glove

Currently being used:

• Individuals in active Special Forces
• Wildfire Fighters: Initial Attack Hand Crew (Oregon Wildfire Fighters). These are the guys on the ground ahead of smoke jumpers.  Primary Mission: IA hand crews are typically the first to respond to wildfires. Their main tasks include building fire lines, clearing vegetation, and conducting burnout operations to control and contain the fire.
• Ranchers/Farmers
• Fire Departments in more than 3 states including Oklahoma, Connecticut and South Carolina
• Individuals on the Ford F-350 auto line

We made these for motorcycle riders, individuals in active duty special forces, metal workers on the F-350 auto line in Detroit, smoke jumpers, firefighters, construction workers, welders, hunters, DIY'ers and anyone interested in a glove that molds to your hands and will stay with you for an absurdly long time!

About the Glove

About a year ago, we were contacted by members of the special forces, smoke jumpers, and interestingly enough, metal workers on the Ford 350 auto line in Detroit. We collaborated with all three groups and the consensus was to take our already untouchable, hand-molding Water Buffalo Skeleton glove and make it even tougher. We sourced a specialized thread from England, reinforced the palm with more Water Buffalo, and added a carabiner.

Reliability and Need

This glove was rigorously tested by individuals in special forces as well as the Ford auto line. Designed for the most demanding environments, it's perfect for fast-roping operations and the strength required on the Ford 3-350 auto line. Whether you're jumping out of planes or handling tough materials, this glove offers unmatched reliability and durability. We believe it to be the toughest, most comfortable glove ever made.

Features:

• Molds to Your Hand: Made from full-grain Water Buffalo, we do not stretch the hides or sand out impurities. Because we don't manipulate the hides for appearance, they maintain their Superman strength. Initially stiff, these gloves will mold to your unique hand over about 3-4 weeks, becoming a second layer of skin and a character in the story of your life. For most people, this will be the last pair of gloves you ever buy.

• Meticulously Hand Stitched: 50 hand-stitched pieces of buffalo leather were meticulously crafted to create this one-of-a-kind glove.

• Tech Finger Usability: We added a piece of tech fabric to each index finger, so you don’t have to remove your gloves when answering calls, changing the radio station, or flipping through apps on your phone.

• Water Friendly: These gloves only get better when they are wet. They will mold to your hands faster and become an extension of your hands over time.

• High Degrees of Tear, Puncture, and Abrasion Resistance: The tightly woven fiber structure of Water Buffalo Hide combined with the natural oils acting like glue creates a next-level barrier protecting your hands from asphalt, rocks, sticks, nails, glass, hail, rain, snow, cement, sliding down ropes, fire, embers or any number of projectiles threatening one of your most important assets: your hands.

This is the culmination of 8 years of research and development, designed to meet the rigorous demands of elite professionals.
