At Hatch, our mission is to build the very best protective gloves for the Law Enforcement and Military markets. To do this we start with the highest quality materials, many of which are sourced and developed to Hatch’s own specifications.

We use only the finest leathers from around the world and use certain types for the feature and/or benefits they provide. Below is a summary of our leathers to aid in understanding these differences in the various products we offer.

   Kangaroo – Pound-for-pound the strongest and most durable leather available
   Goat Skin – Known for high abrasion resistance and a slightly rougher texture
   Cow Hide – Very consistent in quality and weight; flexibility in finishes
   Sheep Skin – A very thin leather known for its superior softness and pliability
   Deer Skin – Recognized for its long term wearability and non-slip grip

Protective, high-tech fabrics like Spectra®, KEVLAR®, NOMEX®, Liquicell®, and Hipora® are selected to provide state-of-the-art protection from cuts, punctures, chemicals, heat and flames.

Insulating materials such as Hydrofil®, Thermostat, Thermolite™ and Thinsulate™ assure breathability and moisture control for long-term comfort.

The most advanced synthetic materials, including Lycra, neoprene, Synsi-feel and Schoeller Dynamic-Extreme Fabric, are employed to assure the ultimate in comfort, flexibility and wear ability.

The end result of our extensive research, design, fabrication and testing, is a product that allows you to perform with total confidence and precision every time you wear a Hatch product.
