The Operator® “CQB”™ is designed for Special Operations close quarter combat and can be combined with the FROG-10 Fast Roping Over-Glove to create a revolutionary fast roping system. The over-glove can be worn over the CQB™ (or any other gloves in the Operator™ series) for protection during rapid rappels, with a snug fit that eliminates the need for removal to achieve combat ready status.

Based on the Hatch original SOG-L100 Operator® tactical glove, the CQB’s DuPont™ KEVLAR® construction provides excellent cut-resistance as well as heat and flash protection. It will not support flame or combust up to 800°F (427°C). The entire glove is sewn with non-melting nylon thread. A water resistant kangaroo leather palm provides superior abrasion and cut resistance.

An elasticized wrist keeps the Operator taut, while the elasticized gauntlet (3” shorter than the SOG-L100) keeps out foreign objects and prevents snagging. A removable nylon web/spandex wrist strap with hook and loop fasteners provides maximum wrist support. The Hatch original Cut-Ring™ stitching allows optional removal of the index finger for trigger control, without unraveling the remaining edge.

A second layer of leather in the palm provides additional protection and is ergonomically cut to prevent bunching while clenching objects. Foam padding in the heel of the palm cushions the shock of firearm recoil. Positive Grip non-skid material in the cradle of the hand provides a confident grip when using weapons or tools.
