The DSX-100 Hornet X is the next generation in elite tactical gloves and uses the very latest advanced technology. They have been designed for three primary operational applications:

To allow the tactical operator the highest amount of dexterity and tactility to manipulate weapons and tools

Provide various rappelling capabilities without the use of a separate "over-glove"

Solve long-term wear issues which other styles have faced (such as flight gloves), that were not designed for higher levels of punishing field use.

The DSX-100 design excels by means of its material components, which are among the best available in the world.

The knuckles on the backs of the hands are reinforced with Keprotec by Schoeller Switzerland. Keprotec is a blend of Cordura, Dynafil, TS70 and Kevlar. It is a tenacious fabric with superior abrasion resistance, flexibility and is lightweight. It is used most commonly in apparel for extreme sports.

DuPont Kevlar fabric provides flame/flash protection as well as cut resistance on backs of hands and the entire index finger and remaining finger tips have been reinforced with premium anline leather.
