Dealing with Narcotics and the ever changing environment Police are subjected to
When we first heard about the Turtleskin product line it was when they actually called us up and asked us if we wanted to be a dealer for their products. We knew this was a niche market when we first got into it, but frisk gloves like this are something that nobody really deals with and everyone wants to walk into a store and try them out before they drop $65 on a pair of gloves. Sure you can get kevlar gloves or something possible less expensive, but the dexterity on these gloves especially the Turtleskin Duty Gloves and the Turtleskin Alpha gloves give you much more. There is a level of puncture resistances as well as slash resistances and both gloves will not interfer very much with your ability to use a firearm if need be.
These gloves have been hard to keep in stock because many corrections officers have been finding out about them from the various demonstrations and trade shows that the Warwick Mills reps have been giving. We deal with a lot of new hire Police officers and Turtleskin gloves are something that is usually on their list of things that they need before they hit the streets. With all of the crap out there that EMS and Police have to deal with like HIV or HEP C and God knows what else. Some people are really just dirty according to some of our Police. You have to have the protection on your hands just like you need body armor that can protect you from knives or bullets.
