JAPBI Brief

Cold Weather Glove System

Where We Are: 

• US Army current cold weather hand wear consists of 7 items ranging from liner and 

anti-contact gloves to Extreme Cold Weather (ECW) mittens 

• Some components of the system are no longer procurable. The Trigger Finger (TF) 

Mitten Liner for example is no longer domestically produced. The TF liner was shared 

between the TF mitten and the ECW mitten 

• Results from CTAPS-H study demonstrated areas where Soldiers feel improvements can 

be made 

• ECW mitten well regarded 

• Intermediate Cold Wet Glove can be improved

• Dexterity study, user eval show value in TF mitten

• ECW mitten identified as versatile

Where We Want To Go: • Modular cold weather hand wear solution that balances protection from environmental 

and man made threats found in extreme cold weather environments

• Packable/light weight

• Moisture management

• Durable

• Capacitive 

• FR/NMND 

• Investigate Novel materials and 

design solutions

Army Combat Glove-Capacitive, 

Gauntlet

Where We Are: 

• The Army has transitioned the Army Combat Glove (ACG) from 

RFI to Defense Logistics Support – Troop Support (DLA-TS) 

• The ACG-C is a capacitive variant of the ACG that allows the 

wearer to interact with touch screen devices while gloved

• Joint interest from USAF 

Where We Want To Go:

• Gauntleted version of the standard ACG-C to support 

Aviators and Combat Vehicle Crewmen

• Limited user evaluation with mounted and aviation units for FY18

• Evaluation of design features aimed at improved digital device 

interface and durability

• Safe-to Fly
