Oakley SI Factory Pilot 2.0 Glove

The Oakley SI Factory Pilot 2.0 is the premium answer in the hard-knuckle category, and it separates itself with carbon fiber rather than rubber over the knuckles. The carbon plates are lower profile and stiffer than TPR, spreading blunt-force impact across a rigid shell while adding less bulk to the back of the hand.

The palm is full-grain goatskin leather, which is more abrasion-resistant and longer-wearing than the synthetic palms on cheaper gloves, and Oakley layers its Unobtainium surfacing across the palm and fingers for grip that actually improves when wet. Four-way stretch panels pull the fit in tight for dexterity, and mid-height cuffs clear the wrist for a full range of motion without snagging a watch or sleeve.

Fingertips are touchscreen compatible and the glove is TAA compliant for agency and military procurement. This is the glove for a duty or hard-use buyer who wants genuine knuckle armor but prefers the slim, rigid profile of carbon fiber and the durability of a real leather palm over the softer, bulkier feel of a TPR impact glove.
