  • Traditional cut protective gloves have been a double-edged sword in the high-stakes world of Defence and Law Enforcement, where every second and every movement matters. Crafted from materials like Kevlar, steel wire, and HPPE, they promised protection but at the cost of agility and precision. These gloves, bulky and layered, forced Defence and Law Enforcement personnel into a difficult dilemma - sacrifice safety for dexterity or vice versa. This compromise left their hands, crucial to mission success, vulnerable, especially beyond the palms. When operating critical tools or weapon systems, any hesitation or impediment could mean the difference between life and death.

  • In an innovative leap, ADA identified a critical need within the tactical realm and bridged it with groundbreaking technology. The mission was clear: to transcend the limitations of traditional tactical gloves by infusing industrial-grade protection with unparalleled agility. Enter the ENFORCR+Ghost glove, a marvel of design intelligence that integrates carbon allotropes into Graphex® yarn. This pioneering approach unlocked a suite of features previously unimaginable in tactical gear—360-degree cut protection, contact heat resistance, touch screen compatibility, and supreme dexterity. This venture into nanotechnology research has not only filled a market void but has redefined the standards of tactical safety and efficiency.

  • The revolutionary ENFORCR+Ghost glove emerges as a game-changer. Surpassing the rigorous EN 388:2016 +A1:2018 Abrasion Test with over 8000 cycles, a glove that can remain in the field and undergo such stress for extended periods sets a new benchmark in durability. Its longevity not only signifies fewer replacements but minimises the environmental footprint through reduced production. This innovation offers a versatile solution that meets the diverse demands of general duty police officers and specialist tactical units alike. The ENFORCR+Ghost glove embodies a harmonious blend of commercial success and societal impact, redefining the future of tactical protective gear.

Discreet Design: Crafted in subdued colours, ensuring compatibility with tactical operations and maintaining a low profile in sensitive environments. Short Wrist Construction: Engineered for superior mobility, this design promotes comfort and seamless integration with essential wrist-worn devices or watches, facilitating ease of movement. Contact Heat Level 1 Protection: Certified to safely interact with objects at 100 degrees Celsius for up to 15 seconds, merging thermal safety with tactile functionality. Micro Sandy Nitrile Coating: Delivers exceptional grip across diverse conditions – wet, oily, or dry – enhancing tool handling and operational efficiency. Touch Screen Compatibility: Designed for the modern operator, enabling seamless interaction with digital devices without compromising on safety or removing gloves. Strategic Reinforcement: Features a reinforced pad between the thumb and forefinger, targeting durability in high-wear areas to extend the glove’s lifespan and reliability during critical tasks. This solution encapsulates innovation with practicality, offering a glove that not only meets the demanding needs of tactical and duty operations but sets a new benchmark in protective gear.
