This is the next series in the Empire gloves family. Fortunately for you the Empire have decided to get rid of the ugly brown part on the palm of the Contact 07 model and took a little bit of the React 07 design, achieving a perfect design combination. The Contact 08 looks so much better form its predecessor, and posses all of its good qualities plus some new ones. Again the best thing in those gloves is the knuckle area designed for better flexibility and comfort. The Contact 07 also has some extra padding for even better protection. The model is designed to fit your hand perfectly so you don’t have to worry about the glove sliding off your hand. The ventilation is really good too so even that it fits perfectly that does not mean that your hand’s gonna sweat. The silicon palm makes your grip very strong which you know is very important, so no problems there, too. For the other features keep reading:
• Contact Fingers-no more cutting the fingers off!
• Knuckle gel pad sewn in for the ultimate impact protection.
• Clarino Palm- not only is this one of the best feeling thin palm materials but it wont turn your hands the same color as your gloves
• Lycra hinged fingers and thumb- again we know how important it is for you to become one with your marker. We took every consideration in flex especially in the thumb to make sure you dont even realize you have gloves on
• Medical Velcro closure with gusset- keeping the gloves on and the dirt out
• Kevlar reinforced palm pads where you need it most. Sliding? Go ahead put your hand down.
• Micro fiber embossed thumb panels so you can buff up or remove any unwanted splatter from your lenses without scratching them
• Silicone palm- its like superglue on your hands. Paintball can be a messy sport and we dont want you dropping your $1000 dollar marker out there.
• Stretch micro mesh finger gussets to let your digits breath
• Reverse wrist closure for mobility- these gloves actually allow you to bend back your hand easier no matter what position you are shooting from
• Neoprene wrist bone coverage because we know you dive into the snake. We’ve got it covered.
• Breathable Airprene construction for maximum protection *Available in sizes: S, M, L, XL.
If we have to compare this model with the Dye models, as much as I wanna say the Dye keeps it’s leading position they don’t. They still have some things to improve in their gloves. Things that Empire has already took care of. And at the price of $39.94 I can tell you for sure that I really doubt if you can find anything better than those gloves on the market right now. Another thing they thought of is adding some more shades – this model can be found in black, blue, desert camo, woodland camo, red and fire. All of the shades look awesome by the way. So no place for wondering here – if you need new gloves Empire Contact SE 08 is the way to go.
