The Mechanix Wear MSV-55 Specialty Vent Covert gloves deliver superior dexterity and ventilation for tactical operations and shooting sports. These black suede palm gloves feature strategic ventilation panels that reduce heat buildup during extended use while maintaining the grip control demanded by firearms handling and precision work.
What Makes This Different
The MSV-55 Specialty Vent design incorporates perforated synthetic leather palm construction with breathable mesh backing, setting it apart from standard tactical gloves that trap heat and moisture. The covert black colorway provides low-visibility appearance suitable for tactical applications. Velcro closure system ensures secure wrist retention without the bulk of traditional strap systems, allowing unrestricted movement around weapon controls and gear.
Key Features
- Synthetic suede palm with 0.6mm thickness for enhanced trigger feel and weapon manipulation
- Breathable mesh construction on back-of-hand reduces heat retention by 30% compared to solid fabric gloves
- Low-profile Velcro wrist closure with TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber) pull tab
- Reinforced thumb and index finger contact points for extended durability
- Machine washable construction maintains performance through repeated cleaning cycles
- Touchscreen compatible fingertips on thumb and index finger
- Form-fitting design accommodates medium hand circumference of 8-9 inches
Field performance testing shows consistent grip retention in temperatures ranging from 20°F to 110°F, with the ventilation system preventing the palm slippage common in non-vented designs. The gloves maintain dexterity for magazine changes, safety manipulation, and precision shooting while providing protection from abrasion and light cuts. Law enforcement and competitive shooters report improved comfort during extended range sessions and training exercises.
