If you are reading this, chances are it is unbearably hot outside. Luckily, I am composing it from the quasi comfort of a room that is quite a few degrees cooler than the hell that lies on the other side of the wall. Anyway, yesterday marked the official start of summer. And I guess that it is only fitting that the temperature jumped from a manageable 80 degrees to a sweltering 98 degrees. But the misery brought about by the summer heat is not my only reason for looking upon the season with such disdain. Summer also means yard work, which is by far the worst kind of work.

Not quite a year ago, my good nature got the best of me and I volunteered to help a family member take down a gargantuan tree. It entailed quite a bit of hard work. To give you an idea of how hard, consider the following. I consumed over two gallons of water in about ten hours. Never once did I find it necessary to stop for a bathroom break. That is because those two gallons gushed from my pores for those ten hours. The backbreaking work was joined by scraped arms and blistered hands – two ailments that could have been prevented by Keepshooting.com's new German Flecktarn summer gloves.

The German Flecktarn summer gloves are a German military surplus item and were originally issued to members of the Bundeswehr. Designed for tough military jobs, these camouflage work gloves are perfect for any summer project from trimming hedges to logging forests.

The German Flecktarn summer gloves are now available for the low price of just $11.95 per pair.

As noted, the German Flecktarn summer gloves offered by Keepshooting.com are a German military surplus item. They were originally designed for and used by the members of the German Bundeswehr, the unified armed forces of Germany, which consists of an army, navy, air force, joint support services and central medical services. Though each pair of gloves was at one point issued and used, they are in very good condition and are still far from the end of their service lives. Many of the gloves show little to no wear at all, though because of the jobs they may have performed, some gloves may contain small tears or holes. Those looking for an inexpensive alternative that provides excellent protection need look no further than our German Flecktarn summer gloves.

Upon receiving the gloves, you will surely notice their military-grade craftsmanship. Each pair of gloves consists of a thin outer layer constructed from a soft canvas material, while the interior is lined with a thin, comfortable cotton layer. Though the thought of dual layers may make it seem as if these are unfit for summer work, they are very lightweight and extremely breathable. The real draw, however, is not in their light weight or breathability, but rather the inclusion of a protective layer of leather on the areas that are most vulnerable to wear and injury. The palm of each glove, along with the tips of every finger and the knuckles, has an added layer of leather to protect the most sensitive parts of the hand from dangerous elements that may be encountered during various types of labor. Additionally, the gloves extend several inches past the wrist for increased protection of the lower forearms. Another interesting feature is the inclusion of locking clasp that ensures you will never be searching for a single missing glove.

Then there is the camouflage pattern. Like many of our popular German military surplus items, the German Flecktarn summer gloves sport the easily noticed Flecktarn camouflage pattern. Flecktarn is a multicolor disruptive camouflage pattern, generally utilizing three or more colors. This particular pattern was designed for use in temperate woodland terrains, though by varying the colors, it is adaptable to other backdrops.

Just like our Polish camouflage gloves, we expect the German Flecktarn summer gloves to be a hot seller. If you are looking for a pair of durable work gloves, these summer gloves are a great inexpensive option.

Note: The German Flecktarn summer gloves are currently only available in size large (L).
