Tactical Defense Against Lacerations and Cold Exposure - The Rothco Cold Weather Street Shield Gloves are engineered for professionals who operate in high-risk, low-temperature environments. Unlike standard winter gloves that only prioritize warmth, these gloves integrate a tactical defensive layer designed to safeguard the operator from sharp objects, needles, and jagged debris during searches or manual labor.
Constructed with a 100% cut-resistant inner lining throughout the fingers and palms, these gloves provide a critical safety barrier in hazardous conditions. For thermal protection, they are equipped with Thermoblock™ insulation to maintain hand functionality in freezing climates. The outer shell balances durability and mobility, utilizing a flexible 1.5mm neoprene and nylon spandex back that allows for superior dexterity. To ensure positive tool control on slick or wet surfaces, the synthetic leather palms are enhanced with a specialized non-skid grip surface.
