The glove set consists of an outer glove for chemical protection and an inner cotton liner for perspiration absorption.
The liners can be worn on either hand. When engaged in heavy work, or when in cold weather, standard leather
work gloves or black shells should be worn over the chemical protective gloves. The gloves provide protection from
chemical agents, and insect vectors as long as they remain free of damage and/or degradation. Refer to FM 3-
4/FMFM 11-9 for protective capabilities.
The gloves are issued in three thicknesses: 7, 14, and 25 milt The 7 mil glove set is used by soldiers such as
medical, teletypists, and electronic repair personnel who require extreme tactility and/or sensitivity and will not
expose the gloves to harsh treatment. The 14 mil is used by soldiers such as aviators, vehicle mechanics, and
weapon crews who require tactility and sensitivity and will not expose the gloves to harsh treatment. Use of the more
durable 25 mil glove is for soldiers who Perform close combat tasks and other types of heavy labor.
Exposure of the gloves to DS2, break-free, antiseize compound or other petroleum based products attacks the
rubber (gloves become sticky) and degrades their performance. Contact with these materials should be avoided.
