Outdoor Research Ironsight II Review: The Ultimate Combat & Shooting Glove Upgrade?

The legendary combat glove just got a major overhaul. In this video, we deep dive into the brand new Outdoor Research Ironsight II and compare it side-by-side with the classic Ironsight 1. The original Ironsight has been a favorite for operators for years due to its very high dexterity, but Outdoor Research listened closely to military customer feedback to fix two major friction points. Chris addresses the hard truth about combat glove durability, why they are fundamentally a disposable item on tour, and how the new design elements completely change the game for shooting and weapon manipulation.

Designed as an uncompromised combat and shooting glove, the Ironsight II prioritises extreme finger dexterity and tool tactile feedback. This makes it perfect for operating a pistol slide, clearing weapon stoppage drills, manipulating knives, or typing on touchscreens in cold, slippery, and wet field conditions. However, it is not a work glove—if you are hammering pickets or running razor wire, save these and swap to heavy-duty utility gloves. • Skin-Like Fit: Redesigned internal finger seams eliminate the painful pinch points of the Mark 1, making the glove feel like an extension of your own skin. • Ax Suede Durability: Features premium synthetic leather welded to the palm to prevent the rubber grip compound from wearing down prematurely against stippled weapon grips. • Trigger Finger Optimization: The raised rubber armor plating on the back of the trigger finger has been completely removed to guarantee smooth, snag-free entry into tight trigger guards. • Flawless Touchscreen Response: Optimized matte-texture cowhide-style compound ensures your phone remains highly responsive even when the screen is exposed to field moisture. • Operator Ready: Retains the field-proven hook and loop wrist closures and heavy-duty pull-on toggles.
