ENFORCR® Dark Armour - Is It Worth It?

ENFORCR® Dark Armour - Is It Worth It?

When you’re in the middle of a tactical operation, you need to be able to rely on your backup, whether that’s fellow law enforcement or your gear. No matter if you’re breaching, patrolling, or handling sharp tools, you don’t want to wonder whether your gloves will hold up. You want confidence. The ENFORCR® Dark Armour Glove (available at LEGEAR) is engineered to answer that exact question: Yes, it’s worth it. Here’s why.

1. Cut Resistance You Can Rely On

One of the ENFORCR® Dark Armour Glove’s core selling points is its use of Graphex® cut‐resistant yarn, which allows it to achieve ANSI A9 cut level protection. That’s among the highest ratings available in tactical gloves. For professionals exposed to needles, edges, shards, or wire, this is non-negotiable. If an unexpected tool slips or a glass fragment crosses your path, Dark Armour gives you that extra buffer.

2. Balanced Dexterity & Ergonomics

Protection is useless if you lose fine motor control. Dark Armour has been crafted with an ergonomic, contoured fit that allows for natural hand movement and dexterity, with minimal fatigue during long shifts. ENFORCR® Dark Armour glove’s design respects the subtleties of trigger pulls, tool handling, and delicate manipulations that many tactical roles require.

3. Superior Grip in All Conditions

It doesn’t help if your glove slips when things get wet or sweaty. Dark Armour addresses that with a micro-sandy nitrile coating, giving a strong grip whether conditions are dry or wet. ENFORCR® Dark Armour Glove ensures your tools, weapons, lines, or gear don’t become hazards in your hands.

4. Reinforcement for Longevity

Between the thumb and forefinger (a high-stress area), ENFORCR® Dark Armour features reinforced saddle panels to reduce wear and tear over heavy use. Additionally, the glove includes TPR (thermoplastic rubber) back-of-hand protection to absorb impact and shield from blunt trauma. These design choices help extend the glove’s usable life, which is critical when budgets are tight and reliability is essential.

5. Touchscreen & Heat Features

One of the most common frustrations in the field is having to constantly remove your gloves just to press a screen. You don’t want to get caught unprotected just because you had to take a call. Dark Armour allows touchscreen use without taking gloves off, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.

Further, the glove has reinforcement for handling hot objects — critical if you’re exposed to heated metal, munitions, or equipment. And it’s treated for odour control (Actifresh) which helps keep things more tolerable over long wear.

6. Tested & Certified

Dark Armour doesn’t just claim performance, it backs it. It has been certified under AS/NZS 2161.2:2020 and EN ISO 21420:2020 standards. Its full design is intended for rigour, from its cut protection to breathable structure to durability.

7. Real-World Fit & Value

The Dark Armour glove offers a strong balance of cost vs protection. For many operators, the price point falls well within a justifiable equipment budget — especially when weighed against injury risk or glove replacement costs.

If you were leaning toward lesser gloves or dual gloves (cut + dexterity) to hedge your bets, Dark Armour simplifies your kit: one glove that covers both fronts.

What to Consider Before You Buy

  • Sizing & Fit: Ensure you get the correct glove size to maximise dexterity and minimise movement within the glove. A slight looseness can reduce cut protection effectiveness.

  • Mission Profile: If your tasks rarely involve edged threats, some features may be over-spec, but for breachers or high-risk entry, these specs matter.

  • Rotation & Care: Like any tactical gear, gloves last longer when rotated and maintained. Wash carefully, air dry, avoid sharp creasing.

  • Complementary Gloves: For thermal or cold missions, a layered glove system may still have merit, but Dark Armour works well as your core glove in many scenarios.

We’ll Give You a Hand

If you’re serious about your glove choice, the ENFORCR® Dark Armour Glove delivers on nearly every metric that matters in the field — cut protection, grip, dexterity, durability, and operational practicality. In short: yes, it’s worth it for professionals who demand reliability without compromise.
