Featuring Hatch's signature Ergo-Cut design to allow for maximum dexterity for searching and weapon control, the Defender MP has an extended cuff and uses high-density EVA foam padding for additional knuckle, finger and forearm protection. Manufactured with 100 percent Goatskin leather with a water repellant finish to keep the glove supple after washings, the new Defender MP also features a full Kevlar lining for cut protection and Hatch's signature Ergo-Cut in the palm for increased protection dexterity and a natural fit. With an elasticized wrist and a floating thumb design, the Defender MP is closed to the forearm with a hook and loop closure to keep the glove taut while protecting one of the more easily exposed areas of the body during riot control situations. Additionally, the Defender MP uses durable Nomex thread throughout the glove, helping to ensure that the stitching withstands continued rigorous use.
