HATCH Dura-Thin Search Duty Glove, Black

These are pretty awesome gloves. They fit like, well, a glove. I followed some advice, when I first received them. I put them on, ran my hands under the hottest water I could stand, for about 3-4mins until they were completely saturated, then sprayed them with alcohol, (Leftover from the days when we had to . . *ahem* had to sanitize everything.) rubbed that in, and wore them until they were dry. This has improved on the initial fit, and is recommended to, "form" the gloves to your hands. Overall, I should note that, while I personally don't have long digits, some with a similar hand size may, so, I did find the fingers and thumbs to be a bit long, but, this is expected in a sized product intended to fit most. Like, are my fingers almost an inch too short, or are the gloves just big? Who knows. This is on me and my creator, not Hatch. Speaking of, apparently, Hatch is manufactured by another well-known LE brand, Safariland. It even says so on the packaging for these gloves. That was a welcome sight, as well. The short cuff takes some getting used to. It feels, "different" from other gloves, for sure. As billed, it definitely doesn't get in the way of watches, bracelets, etc. They look neat. Like, N64 Goldeneye Sniper Rifle neat. (Are you old enough to understand this reference?) They definitely make you feel like a little bit of a badass. Time will tell, in terms of longevity, dexterity and usability in my day-to-day, but, immediately, I wouldn't hesitate to strap these on and handle business.

I don't see what's not to love about these. For the price these are the best value in leather search gloves around. One caveat: they are NOT NOT NOT puncture resistant. If you are a LEO/first responder/tactical unit these will protect the digits but they will NOT stop blades or needles. They will NOT repeat NOT stop needles or knives. That being said these are excellent search gloves. You need to use the sizing guide to get the correct size. Measure your hand with a seamstress tape to ensure proper fit. If you don't have this item or know what it is, go to a fabric store and tell the seamstress/tailor there that you need to be fitted for a tight fitting glove and have him/her measure across your knuckles with your hand in a loose fist to ensure you get the proper measurement. The seamstress/tailor should be able to assist you to proper success. The quality of these gloves is insane compared to the price. I can't confirm if they are genuine leather as I have no way to test this, but they are tough, soft, and durable in feel. I have been using these for only 2 weeks so I can't comment on durability but I assume they are real leather and the stitching is top notch so I assume they will last with proper care. They offer very little warmth given their unlined nature and thin leather so be aware of that. Some reviewers say they are thick and lessen dexterity but I have not experienced this. Damascus gloves (now Tough Gloves) are 3X the price and don't offer THAT much in the way of thinner leather/more dexterity but I wholeheartedly suggest you try for yourself. I own both and these Hatch models are very very good for the money IF you follow their sizing directions. Bottom line: get them. They are excellent for the money. If you find that they are too thick of leather you can always get the more expensive ones later Another caveat: give them time to break in if they are tight or uncomfortable. Mine are skin tight after following the sizing chart and never feel tight or constricting. Yours should feel tight at first with a fit that becomes part of you. Like a second skin but way tougher. AGAIN THESE WILL NOT PROTECT AGAINST PUNCTURES OR SLICES. Hatch and Tough Gloves both offer puncture resistant gloves that will protect your hands but these are regular leather. They will NOT stop needles or sharp objects. I am a regular guy and my work is private. I am not responsible for your use of the product. Please direct any and all questions or concerns to the manufacturer or marketer of the product.

The fit was spot on using their size chart. Snug fit. Not too tight, not loose at all. What surprised me was the thickness of the material. They lack fine dexterity and absolutely do not allow you to operate a touchscreen without a fight. Other than those minor gripes, I'd say for the money these are some of the best gloves of this style I've ever seen. They are obviously durable. Very comfortable and look great. They are a bit warm on sunny days with your hands on the wheel, and I believe they will actually stave off chill in cold Montana winters despite the lack of lining. So buy em. They will protect your hands a great deal and will likely last a while. If you desire a finer touch look into the hatch patrolman series. They are WAY thinner and have more airflow thanks to spandex between the joints. The added dexterity comes at a price though. The stitching on my patrolmans blows out within 2-3 months every pair I've bought. I've continued to buy them because the are(were) the best. These SG20p however, are my new go to. Pretty damn impressed.

These fit tight and may even seem a little small when you first try them on. Don't let that deter you. These are leather and they take a little time to break in. Once they do, I can find nothing to complain about, except maybe that they do take a little bit of time to get on if your hand is sweaty. Great glove. Nice feel to the hands and they even work with my iPhone screen! I have not had my second pair for several month. Because I had a couple of fingers blow out the seems do to the way they fit, I went with the next size up. Benefits: Easier to get on, but they still fit nicely, and I have yet to open up the seems on any of the fingers due to the pressure not being as much from my fingers. Disadvantages: My ability to manipulate my iPhone has been reduced because the glove doesn't fit so tightly around my fingertip. I can still do it, but it comes down to me taking my glove off more now, instead of leaving it on. I noticed there was a slight difference in leather between the two different pairs of gloves. My larger sized ones are softer to the touch. Great glove. I'll keep buying them to replace the ones I wear out.

Piel resistente pero flexible, muy bien armados y costuras de buena calidad . Los pulgares están un poco largos pero fuera de eso muy buen fith

Use daily as an officer and work well, I like that you can easily feel things in a search.

Co plete waste of money, the thumb is too long and each gloves is a different finger and thumb size, it is not as described at all, your hands sweet, they feel cheap, and they are.not at all skin tight, very very dissapointing

I have had many hatch products in the past, but by far these are my favorite pair as they are thin and tight fitting

Great
