The 221B Tactical Guardian Gloves Pro are full-dexterity, full-coverage, cut-resistant search and tactical shooting gloves built for law enforcement, security professionals, and armed citizens who cannot afford to lose hand function in the field. HPX construction delivers Level 5 cut protection across the front, back, and sides of both hands — protection that holds even when the gloves are wet. High-density injected rubber on the back of the hand guards fingers, knuckles, and the dorsal surface while maintaining the low profile and flexibility required for a clean draw and reliable trigger manipulation. Available in sizes Small through XL.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement officers: searching suspects, controlling subjects, or working scenes where blade contact is a real risk and hand dexterity must stay intact
• Armed security professionals: running touchscreen dispatch equipment and firearms simultaneously without swapping gloves
• Tactical shooters and concealed carriers: training or carrying daily in a glove that doesn't compromise trigger feel, grip, or grip-surface performance in wet conditions

Cut protection and construction

HPX construction covers 100% of the hand — palm, back, and sides — at Level 5 cut resistance, the highest rating in the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut-protection scale. Most cut-resistant gloves protect only the palm; the Guardian Gloves Pro extend that coverage to the back of the hand and the sides, closing the gaps that matter most in a search or defensive scenario. Critically, the cut protection performs when wet — a failure point for many competitors in this category.

High-density injected rubber on the back of the hand provides impact and abrasion protection for fingers, knuckles, and the dorsal surface without the bulk and reduced flex of hard plastic knuckle plates. The profile stays flat enough for a clean holster draw and unrestricted trigger access.

Armor-Skin material on the palms and fingertips delivers consistent grip in dry and wet conditions, keeping the glove functional through rain, sweat, or any scenario where moisture is present.

Dexterity and touch-screen compatibility

Smart-Touch technology on the index finger and thumb enables direct touchscreen and smartphone use without removing the gloves. The superior blend and placement of materials across the glove provide a custom fit that supports full range of finger motion from the moment the gloves go on.

Care and maintenance

Hand wash with antibacterial soap and warm water. Lay flat to dry. Machine washing is not recommended.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What level of cut protection do the Guardian Gloves Pro provide?

Level 5 cut protection — the highest rating under the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard. HPX construction covers the full hand, including the back and sides, not just the palm. That coverage holds when the gloves are wet, which most cut-resistant gloves in this category cannot claim.

Will these gloves work with a touchscreen or smartphone?

Yes. Smart-Touch material on the index finger and thumb enables direct touchscreen use without removing the gloves, so you can operate a phone, radio, or in-vehicle display without interrupting a task.

Can I use these gloves for shooting and still access my trigger properly?

Yes. The design prioritizes full dexterity. The low-profile injected rubber on the back of the hand and the Armor-Skin palm material keep the glove thin enough for a clean holster draw and normal trigger manipulation. Multiple verified purchasers confirm no interference with draw stroke or trigger access.

Do these gloves run true to size?

Generally yes, though fit preference varies. Reviewers report that the size chart is accurate. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear a liner underneath, sizing up is a reasonable option. A size chart is available on the product page; contact us if you need help selecting between two sizes.

How do I wash the Guardian Gloves Pro?

Hand wash with antibacterial soap and warm water, then lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash.

Are these available for agency or bulk orders?

Yes. Volume pricing is available for law enforcement agencies and security companies with a minimum order of 50 units. Contact us for agency pricing details.
