- Ensure hands are clean and dry, then don the gloves and secure the hook-and-loop strap over your jacket cuff to create a weather-tight seal.
- Immediately conduct dry-fire function checks with your weapon systems, manipulating the trigger, safety, and magazine release to establish a new dexterity baseline.
- Perform manipulation drills with secondary tools like radios and handcuffs to confirm operational proficiency before deployment.
- During prolonged exposure, consciously assess finger mobility and temperature to preempt significant loss of motor function.
- After duty, clean the exterior and air-dry the gloves completely away from direct heat to preserve the integrity of the waterproof bladder and leather.
