Our hands are our tools, and for police, where tactical requirements demand hand work in extreme conditions, dexterity together with protection is a much-demanded combination. As such, only very specific glove manufacturers meet this unique requirement, and finding the right combination of rugged toughness together with soft manipulation, led us to survey the spectrum of puncture resistant gloves that are used by law enforcement and the military today.

Top-rated Puncture Resistant Gloves for Police List:

Cut and puncture resistant gloves for police must also be waterproof and fire regarding as well, they must be supportive and protect against heavy blows, and with all these demands, mist still enables a police officer in action the full dexterity to manage weapons, communications devices and even manipulate external physical objects.

Selecting the right pair demands you consider the tactical applications you require for the gloves, including weather, environmental and kit conditions that will be used for your work. Are you using handguns, explosives, communication devices, heavy equipment? Will you be leaping over obstacles, entering liquid infested zones, do you need to access your kit? How will you apply medical attention while changing ammo?

In this review, I present 5 of the best options for tactical puncture resistant gloves, and these gloves have all passed rigorous testing. For cutting, there are two basic standards used for measuring the cut-resistant properties of gloves. These standards are split between the US and Europe.

Piercing is much the same process, where a sharp point is forced through the test sample and the pressure exerted is the level of competence that the material provides. (Similar to a Brinell hardness test)

The gloves I review here all provide extra levels of protective performance, including water resistance and fireproofing. So now, with no further ado, let's take a dive into the world of the best puncture resistant gloves for police operatives.
