The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves are tactical work and range gloves built for shooters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs hand protection without sacrificing finger dexterity. An 80% cut-resistant / 20% fire-resistant aramid fabric covers the wrist, top, and sides of the fingers and thumb, while a molded carbon fiber hard-knuckle shell guards against impact. Available in Small, Medium, Large, and XL.
Impact Protection Without Losing Your Touch
The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves place a molded carbon fiber polycarbonate shell directly over the knuckles, absorbing and deflecting impact force before it reaches the hand. Because the shell is pre-formed rather than flexible padding, it holds its shape under repeated contact. The fingerless cut keeps all four fingertips free, so trigger control, magazine manipulation, and touchscreen use remain fully accessible.
Cut and Fire Resistance Where It Counts
The aramid fabric blend used across the wrist area and along the top and sides of each finger and thumb provides both cut resistance and a degree of fire resistance in the same layer. Aramid fibers are inherently resistant to heat and cutting forces, which makes them a practical choice for range work, motor sports, and outdoor activities where abrasion and brief heat exposure are realistic hazards. The fabric composition is 80% cut-resistant / 20% fire-resistant by construction.
Grip and Fit Designed for Active Use
The palm uses two layers of genuine leather: a smooth base layer for comfort and a textured top layer that improves grip on firearms, tools, and equipment. At the wrist, flexible neoprene with a hook-and-loop closure lets the wearer dial in fit without removing the glove. The combination of leather palm, neoprene wrist, and aramid back keeps the overall package at 0.3 lb per pair across all sizes.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves suit shooters, airsoft and paintball players, hunters, motor sports participants, and outdoor users who need knuckle impact protection and cut/fire-resistant coverage while keeping fingertips free for fine motor tasks. The hook-and-loop wrist closure makes them practical for users who need to don and doff quickly.
These gloves are not rated to any published cut-resistance standard (such as ANSI/ISEA 105 or EN 388) and do not carry a certified protection level. Buyers requiring a documented, tested cut rating for occupational or regulatory purposes should verify compliance independently. The fingerless design leaves fingertips exposed, so they do not provide full-hand protection. They are not insulated and are not designed for cold-weather use.
Common Questions
What does the aramid fabric protect against?
The aramid fabric on the Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves covers the wrist and the top and sides of each finger and thumb. The blend is 80% cut-resistant and 20% fire-resistant by construction. No specific cut-resistance standard rating (such as ANSI or EN 388 level) is stated for these gloves.
Are these gloves suitable for shooting and firearms handling?
The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves are designed with shooting and weapons handling in mind. The fingerless style keeps all four fingertips exposed for trigger control and magazine changes, while the textured leather palm maintains grip on a firearm. The hard-knuckle shell provides impact protection without adding bulk that would interfere with a firing grip.
Can I use a touchscreen while wearing these gloves?
Because the Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves leave the fingertips fully exposed, touchscreen devices can be used without removing the gloves. Direct fingertip contact with the screen is what makes them compatible.
How does the wrist closure work, and how secure is the fit?
The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves use a flexible neoprene wrist panel with a hook-and-loop closure. The neoprene stretches to accommodate different wrist sizes, and the hook-and-loop strap lets the wearer tighten or loosen the fit without removing the glove. Four sizes (S, M, L, XL) are available to match hand size.
What is the California Proposition 65 warning for these gloves?
The Rothco Fingerless Carbon Hard Knuckle Gloves contain Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical listed under California Proposition 65. California law requires this disclosure for products containing listed chemicals above threshold levels. Buyers in California should be aware of this notice prior to purchase.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
