At first, we didn't quite know what to call these - they're not surplus gloves. they're not quite reproductions either. We actually found the OEM that makes these gloves for the Ukrainian Military, and these are the real deal.
Think of them a little like Ukrainian Mech*nix but a little more put-together than your run-of-the-mill auto parts store gloves. These gloves are distinctly sturdier with thicker materials all around, and a suede palm that doesn't pill up at the slightest abrasion - in a few other places they've thought out the stitching a little more and the adjustment strap is nice & thick so it's not hard to manipulate.
It features reinforcements at key abrasion points with stretch panels at the knuckles, joints, and back of the hand for fantastic mobility & fit. And of course, it features small loops for putting the gloves on a carabiner.
The gloves do a good job at reminding you who they're fighting for — the outside has the Ukrainian Crest and "Збройні сили України" or "Zbroini syly Ukrayiny" as the repeating rubberized logo motif.
