With the old technologies of flame resistance, you may as well go into battle
with oven mitts. New innovations allow for lightweight designs that maximize
dexterity and the tactile feel needed in critical operations. This is the
LIGHTWEIGHT FR GLOVE, an Oakley invention that meets military flame resistance
requirements with a low-bulk design of high performance. We reinforced it with
Kevlar® in the knuckle and finger joints, and for added dexterity, the palm is
constructed with durable Pittards® leather. When you're going in fast and
light, this is the glove that gets the job done without sacrificing essential
protection.

About
Since the 1980s, Oakley has been providing U.S. troops with military gear and
boots. Best known for its popular eyewear, it has spent millions on developing
products for those in the armed forces. This partnership was formed to develop
new technologies that improve the safety and performance of soldiers. Over
time, Oakley's military line has transformed from a few models to a highly
specialized division within the company. At its research facility in
California, the company constantly works on new innovations. Some items are not
available in retail stores, but luckily a number of military items can be
purchased through public outlets.
