Who This Is For
The ColdWork Base Layer is built for shooters, hunters, tactical professionals, and outdoor workers who need a slim, functional cold-weather glove — either worn alone in mild conditions or layered under a heavier shell glove when temperatures drop hard. The coyote colorway suits field use, range days, and any application where a low-visibility, earth-tone finish is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear these gloves while operating a firearm safely?
Yes. The ColdWork Base Layer is designed with dexterity in mind, making it suitable for trigger operation, magazine changes, and firearm manipulation. The slim SoftShell profile and stretch construction keep finger sensitivity high, while the Padlock silicone grip pattern helps you maintain a firm hold on your firearm even in wet or cold conditions.
Are these gloves warm enough to wear on their own, or do they need a shell glove over them?
The ColdWork Base Layer is versatile enough to use as a standalone glove in cool to moderately cold temperatures, thanks to its microfleece lining and water-repellent treatment. In more severe cold or sustained wet conditions, they perform best when layered under a heavier, insulated shell glove — the slim fit is specifically designed to accommodate that layering system.
Will these gloves work with a smartphone or GPS device screen?
Yes. The thumb and index finger on both hands feature touchscreen-compatible patches, allowing you to operate smartphones, GPS units, and other capacitive touchscreen devices without removing your gloves — a critical feature when working in the field or on the range in cold weather.
