The synthetic leather on the flat do that the friction is high and that you have in your hands (airsoft gun, magazine etc) don&#8217;t risk to slip out.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s alarming that both gloves broke at the same place but it&#8217;s very good that Gunfire have taken the problems seriously and forward this problem to its supplier so they will probably improve this part. Except that nothing else has broken yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you are looking for tactical gloves with\u00a0hard knuckle protections this model from GFC Tactical HDR Shield a good choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this test we have not compared this model to other glove models from the Heavy Duty Ready series or with other brands available on the market, so our opinions are based entirely on this product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In Gunfire&#8217;s own webshop the gloves cost \u20ac 16.83 exkluding the shipping cost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gunfire.pl\/product-eng-1152198081-Rekawice-taktyczne-HDR-Shield-Black.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/gunfire.pl\/product-eng-1152198081-Rekawice-taktyczne-HDR-Shield-Black.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The gloves are also available in stores in several countries.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This review is made by Daniel and is originally written in Swedish.
