Members of the Special Operations Forces, which include the U.S. Navy SEALs and the U.S. Army Rangers and Green Berets, often face several hurdles when dealing in foreign environments. There is a huge risk of getting their hands and limbs burnt or frozen. It is very crucial to enable SOF operators to perform in all battlefield conditions, including extreme cold weather environments. The Outdoor Research Modular Glove System defends the hand against heat and flame threats. Consisting of five pairs of compatible gloves: a contact glove, a flame resistant combat glove, an intermediate waterproof glove, an extreme cold weather waterproof glove and extreme cold weather waterproof mitt. Each set of gloves is domestically produced in the United States and boasts the latest textile technology to reduce weight, minimize thermal discomfort in extreme cold weather, enable maximum dexterity, tactility, and provide exceptional moisture management.

The Modular Glove System meets the Special Operations Command's requirement for a protective glove system and such protection does not come cheap, for $1100 a set it is not something you wear to bed.
