The Next Generation: Vanguard MK-2 & MK-2 Ultra
The original MK-1 set the foundation. The MK-2 series redefines it. Whether you are looking for the streamlined precision of the MK-2 or the over-engineered excellence of the Ultra, the new Vanguard line represents a total overhaul in design language and technical capability.
PROTECTION
PERFORMANCE
-
Five layers of 100% Kevlar®/Para-aramid knit provide an unprecedented barrier. This multi-layer architecture delivers premium thermal, cut, and puncture resistance without the bulk of traditional liners
​
-
Now certified to the NFPA 1970 Standard. Our moisture barrier doesn't just block chemicals and bloodborne pathogens it is part of a fully PFAS-Compliant system (Ultra model), ensuring the next generation of fireground safety
​
-
Integrated Leather Grab Patch: A new feature on the Ultra to improve "wet don/doff" (getting the gloves on and off when sweaty or wet)
-
Optimized Material Selection for Grip The MK-2 features a premium Goatskin palm for a naturally flexible, "broken-in" feel right out of the box. The MK-2 Ultra utilizes a Kangaroo Skin palm, offering the highest tensile strength and thinnest profile for unmatched tool handling and hardware manipulation.
-
Refined Sculpted Fingertip Design Our signature sculpted fingertips have been updated to follow the hand’s natural anatomy more closely. This design minimizes dead space at the tips, providing the highest level of tactility for fine motor tasks like clicking buckles, operating radios, or handling thermal imagers.
​
-
Advanced Anatomical Fit Moving beyond "intricate sewing," the MK-2 series features a Modified Functional Fit. This tailored construction reduces bulk across the back of the hand and palm, ensuring the glove moves with your joints rather than resisting them.
DURABILITY
MK-2
MK-2 Ultra
-
The MK-2 utilizes a strategic blend of heavy-duty Cowhide and Goatskin, while the MK-2 Ultra features a Kangaroo skin palm. This provides an industry-leading tensile strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the glove withstands extreme abrasion without losing tactical feel.
​
-
5-Layer Kevlar® Multi-Knit Integrity Our protection isn't a thin lining—it’s a 5-layer 100% Kevlar®/Para-aramid knit architecture. This multi-knit construction ensures the thermal and cut barriers remain structurally sound even after hundreds of fireground cycles
​
-
To prevent the common "liner pull-out" failure, the MK-2 liners are both sewn and bonded at the fingertips. This ensures your glove stays one cohesive unit, allowing for effortless re-donning with wet or sweaty hands.
