The Operator™ is designed by and specifically for SWAT use and allows you to perform with surgical precision. The ergonomic fit tactile sensation and features found in The Operator are unmatched. The SOG-L200’s DuPont™ NOMEX® and KEVLAR® blend construction provides cut-resistance as well as heat and flash protection to 800°F (427°C). The entire glove is sewn with non-melting nylon thread. Water resistant kangaroo leather palms provide superior abrasion and cut resistance. An elasticized wrist keeps the Operator taut, while the elasticized gauntlet keeps out foreign objects and prevents snagging. Cut-ring stitching allows optional removal of the index finger for trigger control, without unraveling the remaining edge. A second layer of leather in the palm provides additional protection and is ergonomically cut to prevent bunching while clenching objects. Foam padding in the heel of the palm cushions the shock of firearm recoil. Posi-Grip™ non-skid material in the cradle of the hand provides a confident grip when using weapons or tools.
