US Military Intermediate Cold Weather Gloves

Genuine US Army Issue

These are US military intermediate cold weather gloves, the black leather glove issued for cool and cold conditions where a full arctic mitten would be too bulky. They keep your hands covered while you handle gear, tools and weapons. Soldiers, hunters, outdoor workers and collectors of US issue kit carry them for the same reason: a plain, tough leather glove made to a military pattern.

Features

• Black Leather Shell — The whole glove is cut from black leather, which resists abrasion and wind better than knit or fabric gloves.
• Adjustable Wrist Strap — A strap across the back of the wrist cinches the cuff down to keep cold air and debris out.
• Reinforced Palm And Thumb — An extra leather panel is stitched over the palm and up the thumb, the areas that wear fastest when you grip and carry.
• Five-Finger Design — Separate fingers let you work zippers, buckles and triggers without taking the gloves off.
• Stitched Finger Construction — Each finger is sewn from shaped leather panels so the glove follows the natural curl of the hand.
• Gauntlet-Length Cuff — The cuff runs past the wrist so it tucks under or over a jacket sleeve.
• Intermediate Cold Rating — Designed for the band between mild weather and extreme cold, so it suits most autumn and winter days outdoors.
• US Army Issue — Originally issued US government gear, built to the military's own pattern rather than a commercial maker's version of it.

Why Issue Gloves

Issued gloves are made to a specification the Army sets and checks, so the leather, stitching and fittings follow a fixed standard. The design is simple on purpose, with nothing that can snag or fail in the field. For reenactors and collectors, they are the authentic article, and for everyone else they are a straightforward leather work and field glove with military provenance.
