Ironclad Performance Wear
Unparalleled performance, fit and durability; proven in the field.
#IAMIRONCLAD Ironclad was born on the jobsite. In 1997, I was asked to help on a home-build.
There were plumbers, masonry workers, demo-guys, electricians and construction workers everywhere. I noticed that each person had very expensive task-specific tools that they needed in order to get the job done, but also realized that none of these people were wearing gloves. Being curious, I asked the guys around the jobsite why they weren’t wearing gloves and all of their answers were similar. “I can’t use the gloves that are available because they’re too bulky. Sure they protect my hands, but they are hot, I can’t feel my tools, they only come in one size and they basically get in the way of me doing my job.”
This blew me away. I was a hard working guy myself and I always used my motocross gloves when I worked. I grew up riding motorcycles, and the motorcycle industry has task-specific gloves. They have gloves that are designed specifically for dirt bikes, road bikes, or off-road racing. The gloves are constructed with materials like Kevlar™ and ballistic nylon, and they fit snug and are basically an extension of your hand. At the jobsite, I realized that there was a huge disconnect between the worker and their most important tool – their hands. They needed a glove that protected their hands and helped them get the job done. It was at this moment that Ironclad was born. My concept was to build a glove that offered protection and performance, but sacrificed neither. I also wanted to create a brand that these guys could be proud to wear; a brand that would stick with them through thick and thin; and a brand that was built solely for them. These people are the true heroes of our real-life world. They build the homes that we raise our families in, the cars that we drive, the schools we educate our children in, and the roads we drive. Everything that we use in our daily life, many of which we take for granted, are built by unrecognized hard-working men and women – our Everyday Heroes. Ironclad pioneered this new territory – developing task-specific gloves that helped each worker get the job done more safely, efficiently and effectively. But just developing task-specific gloves wasn’t enough. Ironclad needed to bring new technologies, materials and innovations to these harsh working environments. As a result, Ironclad has developed and owns 74 Patents and Trademarks worldwide. These exclusive properties are a part of our Advanced Glove Technology (AGT), which can be seen in virtually every glove Ironclad sells. Rest assured, we’re constantly innovating in order to celebrate the real Everyday Heroes of the world. Welcome to Ironclad! Ed Jaeger

The big jobs get the attention. But it's the small stuff, the checks, adjustments and quick work under the hood, that keeps a car like this ready to go.
Whatever’s waiting under the hood, your gloves should be ready for it with the comfort, dexterity and protection to keep your hands in the work.
You put the work in. Then you enjoy the drive.
Heavy is one thing. Heavy + awkward is another.
Anyone who's pulled an engine knows the moment when it starts coming out of the bay, the job changes.
Now it's about guiding it. Finding the angle. Keeping your hands where they need to be.
The BOX HANDLER® is designed with a grip-focused silicone-infused palm, flexible construction and protection where your hands take the most abuse.
You handle the engine. We'll handle the gloves.
When you're working on suspension, the job can come down to finding that one angle that gives you access.
A bulky glove can make that harder.
A close-fitting knit gives your hands room to move. Foam nitrile puts grip where you need it. And reinforcement in the thumb saddle helps the glove hold up where your hands do the most work.
Hand protection doesn't have to be complicated.
You know the work. We know the gloves.

Every time you take your glove off, you're losing time.
Fabricators know the job isn't just one task from start to finish. You're handling material, positioning parts, using tools, dealing with sparks, and making adjustments along the way.
The right glove has to do more than protect. It has to keep up.
The 360° Cut Leather Metal Fabricator combines soft goatskin leather that naturally conforms to your hand over time with a cut- and heat-resistant aramid liner, impact protection and an extended cuff for added coverage against sparks and debris.
And with the dexterity to handle everything between the big tasks, you don't have to keep stopping to change what you're wearing.
Keep your gloves on. Keep the work moving.
Every day, skilled hands take on demanding work from handling materials, tools and machinery to the unexpected tasks that come with getting the job done. Their gloves need to keep up.
A Cut Level 9 knit glove is designed to provide high-level cut protection while maintaining the dexterity needed to move naturally from one task to the next. Add breathable fibers and touchscreen capability built into the glove itself, and there’s less reason to stop and change what’s already working.
Built for the hands that do a little bit of everything.

Ironclad understands that precision work and finger dexterity go hand in hand. Even though steel is a very tough material, fabrication often requires a fine touch to make fine adjustment and uphold tolerances. That’s why we place high emphasis on fit, comfort and flexibility in work glove design so you can stay focused on the work at hand and sweat the details, while staying safe.
The SKC3MF is a favorite among tradespeople, because it delivers excellent dexterity, breathability, grip and cut resistance; giving its wearer precision, comfort and protection. The perfect hand glove for intricate tasks.

A tactical loadout is made up of dozens of individual components. And whether the environment brings dust, heat, cold, rough surfaces, or extended time in the field, hands remain one of the most important, and most exposed, parts of the operator. That's where the glove matters.
From equipment handling to movement through demanding environments, maintaining a secure grip can be an important part of working confidently with the equipment around you.
The Tactical Grip Coyote was designed with that in mind. Its synthetic suede palm features a silicone grip pattern designed to enhance grip, while its protective features and versatile design make it ready for demanding field applications.
Because tactical performance isn't just about what you carry. It's about how effectively you can work with it.

In the field, gloves are more than another piece of gear. They’re part of the connection between the operator, their equipment and the environment around them.
Every interaction with equipment starts with the hands. Handling gear, securing a grip, or working through demanding conditions requires a tactical glove that provides protection without sacrificing the dexterity and control needed to get the job done.
Protection. Dexterity. Grip. Control.
A tactical glove needs to deliver all four without getting in the way.

When the mission calls for a steady grip, your hands need to be ready for it.
From handling equipment to maintaining control, SWAT and military teams depend on precision and dexterity in every movement. A tactical glove adds protection while helping maintain the grip and feel needed to stay in control when it matters.

The cut is where preparation becomes ex*****on. Once the layout is complete and measurements are confirmed, making the cut means maintaining control of both the tool and the material through every pass.
Working alongside Renovation Hunters gives us a close-up look at the demands renovation work puts on a pair of hands. From handling lumber and materials to operating tools and working through the details that turn a plan into a finished space, renovation work constantly asks something different of your hands.
That’s where our work begins. At Ironclad, we study the demands of the job to understand what workers need from their gloves, from dependable grip and dexterity to protection and comfort during hands-on work.
The COMMAND™ PRO LEATHER is built with those demands in mind, giving the Renovation Hunters crew a glove they can rely on as the work changes from one task to the next.
Because the right glove isn’t just about protecting your hands. It’s about understanding the work well enough to know what your hands need.
