Glove Station IMPULSE - High Dexterity Gloves

Overview of Glove Station Impulse 1.0 Gloves

The video introduces the Glove Station Impulse gloves, specifically the Impulse 1.0 version rather than the 2.0. The host explains that the focus will be on colors, sizing, and features. These gloves are presented as high dexterity options suitable for tasks where fine control is important, such as firearm manipulation or light-duty work. The discussion sets up a closer look at how the gloves are constructed, how they fit, and what differentiates them from other glove options in terms of materials and functional details.

Colors, Touchscreen Fingertips, and Sizing Guidance

The Impulse gloves are shown in several color options. There are gray gloves with black fingertips that indicate the touchscreen-compatible fingers. Another option is the M90 tan variant, described as a base tan color with M90 camouflage on the top. Solid tan gloves and solid black gloves are also available. The host notes that Impulse gloves tend to run small and recommends sizing up one full size from the measurement-based chart. Hand sizing is explained using two measurements: width across the hand and length from the bottom of the palm to the tip of the middle finger. An example measurement of 3.5 inches by 7 inches corresponds to a small on the chart, but a medium Impulse glove is worn to account for the tighter fit.

Materials, Grip, and Breathability Features

The palm of the Glove Station Impulse glove is made of leather, and that leather extends from the base of the palm to the tips of all fingers and the thumb. A textured rubber-like section on the palm adds extra grip, especially useful in slippery conditions. The host notes that when the glove is wet, the leather provides better grip, while in dry conditions the rubber section offers more traction. The top of the glove features a mesh material that allows airflow and helps the hand breathe, compensating for the reduced breathability of the leather. A harder plastic section on the top adds structure and a distinct visual style. Pricing is mentioned, with a typical retail price around $29.99 and some listings as low as about $13, depending on the source.

Fit, Dexterity Details, and Pull Strap

The host puts on a medium Impulse glove to demonstrate fit and internal features. The glove includes a pull strap at the cuff to make it easier to put on, especially after one glove is already worn. Inside the palm and along the fingers are small inlays positioned where the knuckles bend. These inlays create natural flex points that improve dexterity and comfort when the hand closes or grips an object. The same material used around the hand portion continues along the edges of the fingers and the webbing between them, contributing to a consistent feel and structure. An additional thin mesh layer sits between the leather palm and the upper mesh, adding flexibility without sacrificing support.

Touchscreen Test and Intended Use

Touchscreen capability is demonstrated using a smartphone. The gloves are designed so that the thumb and index finger on each hand are compatible with touchscreens. The host shows that swiping, tapping, and pressing individual on-screen buttons work reliably with these fingertips. The touchscreen material is slightly different from the leather on the palm, described as a bit harder and thicker. The Impulse gloves are characterized as lightweight duty or motorcycle-style gloves rather than heavy-duty work gloves. They are highlighted as suitable for tasks that require fine control and feel, such as manipulating a firearm, where high dexterity is important and extreme abrasion resistance is less critical.

Durability Stitching and Sizing Chart Reminder

The video closes with a look at durability features. The palm area is double stitched, and the section between the thumb and index finger is also reinforced with double stitching to improve longevity in high-wear zones. The host notes that Glove Station provides a sizing diagram on its website, allowing users to match hand measurements to the correct glove size. Viewers are reminded again that the Impulse model tends to run small, so choosing one size larger than the chart suggests is recommended. The presentation ends by inviting users who have experience with Glove Station gloves to leave reviews and questions, emphasizing practical feedback on fit, comfort, and performance over time.
