Mechanix Wear SUB40 Realtree Edge Insulated Gloves 2XL 40g Thinsulate

The Mechanix Wear SUB40 combines Realtree Edge camouflage with 40-gram 3M Thinsulate insulation for hunters and outdoor professionals who need dexterity without sacrificing warmth. These insulated tactical gloves maintain finger mobility in temperatures down to 20°F while providing the grip control essential for precision shooting and equipment handling.

What Makes This Different

Unlike bulky winter gloves that compromise trigger finger sensitivity, the SUB40 uses a precision-fit design with strategic insulation placement. The 40-gram 3M Thinsulate provides thermal efficiency equivalent to 80-gram fill in traditional insulation materials. Realtree Edge camo pattern breaks up hand silhouettes against varied terrain backgrounds, giving hunters a concealment advantage over solid-colored alternatives.

Key Features

• 40-gram 3M Thinsulate insulation rated for temperatures down to 20°F
• Realtree Edge camouflage pattern for natural concealment
• Elastic closure system ensures secure fit and prevents debris entry
• Synthetic leather palm provides enhanced grip on metal and polymer surfaces
• Pre-curved finger construction reduces hand fatigue during extended use
• Touchscreen compatible fingertips work with GPS units and rangefinders
• Machine washable construction maintains performance after field use

Field testing shows these gloves maintain dexterity for operating safety mechanisms, loading magazines, and using optical equipment in cold weather hunting conditions. The elastic wrist closure creates a seal against wind and moisture while allowing quick removal when maximum finger sensitivity is required. Synthetic materials resist water absorption and dry quickly compared to leather alternatives.
