Glove Station COMBAT - Hard Knuckle Gloves

Overview of Glove Station Combat Hard Knuckle Gloves

The video focuses on Glove Station Combat gloves, specifically the version with hard knuckles. The knuckle section is described as a rigid carbon fiber-style shell that significantly reduces impact to the knuckles if they strike a hard surface. The presenter emphasizes that this protection is a key feature of the Combat model and notes that the gloves are designed to be durable overall. The rest of the video is outlined as a breakdown of the gloves’ main features, how to determine the correct size, and the different color options available.

Color Options and Knuckle Protection

Several color options for the Glove Station Combat gloves are shown, including M90 camo, black, gray with black accents, tan with black accents, and green with black accents. These choices allow users to match the gloves to specific clothing or gear. The hard knuckle section is again highlighted as very rigid compared to the rest of the glove, offering added protection if the wearer accidentally hits a table, pole, or other hard object. While the knuckles are described as carbon fiber and very hard, it is also noted that this rigidity reduces flexibility in that area compared to the more flexible portions of the glove.

Ventilation, Construction, and Materials

The gray version of the gloves is used to show several design features. Small rubber nibs with holes on the top of the glove provide ventilation by allowing air to pass through to the hand. Additional mesh panels on the top and along the sides of the fingers further improve airflow, which is useful because the gloves are more sealed than many others. The palm area includes matte sections made from a non-suede leather-like material, while the gray fingertip areas use a suede-like leather texture. The gloves also feature visible double stitching in many areas, especially noticeable on the green model, reinforcing the impression of a durable construction.

Fit, Grip, and Touchscreen Capability

To put the gloves on, the hook-and-loop strap at the wrist is opened, the correct hand is selected, and the strap is pulled through and secured for a snug fit. The pair shown is a size medium, which fits hands that are on the smaller side but still reaches fully to the fingertips. The combination of materials on the palm and fingers is intended to provide different grip characteristics. The smoother leather-like sections may be slightly more slippery when wet, while the suede-like fingertips can offer better traction in those conditions. When dry, the more rubbery leather texture is expected to provide strong grip. The gloves are also demonstrated working with a smartphone touchscreen, though it may require adjusting finger angle inside the glove to make consistent contact.

Sizing Method and Hand Measurements

Sizing is explained using two measurements: the width of the palm and the length from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the palm. The hand is measured from the webbing of the palm across to the opposite side, and then from the middle fingertip down to the bottom of the palm. The example measurements shown are approximately 3.5 inches across the palm and about 7 inches from fingertip to palm base, which corresponds to a small size hand. Although this would indicate a small glove, the presenter notes a personal preference for medium gloves, accepting a bit of extra material at the fingertips for comfort and additional padding in less favorable environments.

Use Cases, Variants, and Pricing

The Glove Station Combat gloves are presented as a durable option for activities such as airsoft, motorcycle riding, or other combat-oriented uses where hand protection is important. Both fingered and fingerless versions of the Combat model are mentioned as available choices, depending on user preference. Typical pricing is described as being around 20 dollars, with some retailers listing them closer to 30 dollars, and occasional opportunities to find them for under 20 dollars.
