Dear Mr. Carson,

Thomas, what we have here , is a conundrum! (It's ok, I looked it up - its not a dirty word.)  The 10 Zero 9mm glove out-performed, in grip, every duty glove I have worn since entering Law Enforcement in 1967.
       During the 1970's -1980's I wore Damascus Corp. Deer skin powdered lead "sap gloves."  Ten years working Chicago, those gloves worked very well!   (oh, the good o'l days!)  
       During the 1980's - 1990's I wore Chief Supply Kevlar patrol gloves.  I became a big believer after saved by a Second Chance kevlar vest.  Also, I have seen what can happen to the palm of hand when jumping a fence.  Without gloved protection, it will lay your hand wide open.
       Because of great advertising, in the 1990's I up-graded to my Hatch "Friskmaster Max" with spectra blend lining.  Leather patrol gloves.  Outstanding!
        I later, mistakenly, bought the Hatch, "Streetguard," with Spectra blend liner.  VERY slippery.  No grip what -so-ever.  Never again worn on duty.  
        My "glove criteria" is: First, hand protection.  Second, Grip / Dexterity.  Third, Perfect fit.  Fourth, Prolonged Comfort.
        My 9m gloves are the finest I have ever had for grip, fit, and prolonged comfort.  My Hatch Frishmaster Max with cowhide leather shell is a very close second in the same criteria, but with the addition of protection.
        Is there any future plans 10 Zero might have to add kevlar or spectra to the 9mm glove?  Perhaps added to the front surfaces of the glove with three-quarters wrap-around of the fingers, thus leaving the backside for the spandex and neoprene elastisity.  Tom, with todays economy, you are no doubt looking to invest into more equipment and new techniques!  Should you ever choose to go that direction, Tom, I am such a gracious man that I will test-wear a pair of the new model!  Heck, we've been friends for so long, I would not even charge you for the "test-drive fee."  (I am so nice I scare myself sometimes!)
Thanks for an excellent product.
Yours Truly,
Robert "Gunner" McCann

I recently purchased a pair of your 9mm gloves and am very impressed with them.  I have always been an old school, only wear leather gloves, kind of person.  Until now nothing has ever been able to beat the feel and grip of good quality gloves.  For starters your gloves are extremely comfortable straight out of the package with no break-in period.  Second, the first night I wore them just happened to be one of those nights where all your equipment is put to the test.  The 9mm gloves were outstanding.  The grip that I could maintain while fighting with our communities worst, even when drenched in sweat, was without comparison.  I just had to take a minute to thank you for spending the time that you obviously have developing a glove that truly is the best by far.
Thank you again,
Sgt. K. Hood

TO Whom it may concern:
OK, so after reading the review on your gloves I am intrigued.  But in all seriousness, What is the comfortable temperature range for there use/wear? I work in Chicago, so our summers run from upper 90's to sub zero wind chill in the winter.  I can't believe these will handle both, but I am open to the possibility.  Have a great Holiday weekend, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hey Tom,
Gloves were in my mailbox when I woke up this afternoon.  "Snuggish" fit with the large size, so I think were all good on that front.  My first thoughts: "Wow, kind of thin," So I threw them on, opened the freezer, placed my hand on a frozen steak and then threw a bag of frozen strawberries on top.  Sat back and sipped my coffee.  After about 10 minutes, my right hand was a little more than cool, but not what I'd describe as "cold" and not what I'd consider "uncomfortable".  I would have continued the test longer but I had to answer a text message.  Keeping the gloves on, I was able to answer the text message without a lot of drama.  I was able to access my menu and type.  It's a touch screen phone (Voyager, not an I-phone, so my touch screen are still small)  with a full size keyboard, so a little larger keypad than a normal phone....but still workable.  with 'normal' thickness winter gloves I usually have to take them off to access my touch screen options, let alone type on the keypad. 

Thus far I am pleasantly surprised at the performance!  Well done I say.  From your customer service and delivery time, to frozen produce and texting, well done.  Although I promise to find more creative ways to test these gloves later in the week, and a Chicago winter on patrol shall be the ultimate test.  But as of right now I am quite happy with the value of the product when compared to their price!
