These were sold to us under a completely different name and purpose: Riding a bike. But think about it creatively and you might see why we've dubbed them "combat" gloves...
Austrians excel at making unassuming yet fantastic implements and this certainly falls in that category. A comfortable, protected glove with a hard wearing fabric for mobility, and leather for durability. They come padded on the palm & knuckles, which comes in handy for a boatload of different outdoor activities if you catch our drift (we like to pretend we're Ryan Gosling and wear them while driving, too). Given their leather construction, they'll hold up a lot better than a pair of Mechanix too.
A nice touch on the wrist is the hook and loop strap for refining the fit and a clip for keeping the gloves together when you're not wearing them.
Notes: As these are surplus, the leather might have some patina. A quick once-over with your favorite leather cleaner and conditioner can really bring it back to being supple & flexible.
Condition
Gloves have seen use, but remain in great condition. Minor scuffs, marks, or signs of wear present. No holes, tears, or cuts.
Was debating getting Mechanix gloves or Austrian combat gloves for everyday usage like work, but I made a right choice to pick the combat gloves. Even for extra large size its fits nicely for my average size hands, highly recommended!
I love these gloves to bad I look like a serial killer in them.
Absolute solid gloves , perfect for general use or for more discreet work like this unsolicited Richard pic.
I measured my hand circumference of 9" and purchased the 10 XL and was glad I did. Would recommend going up one size.
Good gloves for hiking
2xl fit my big, meaty hands. Difficult to use a touch screen with, but will protect your hands from nastiness & a spicy pickle.
