Oakley 'assault' gloves - PPE or 'deadly weapon'?

[Rex G]

The Oakley gloves have plastic knuckles. Im not a fan as they limit dexterity but are for protecting the hands against bumps when doing “tactical shit” and are not at all useful in punching someone.

Calling these “assault gloves” dates from the era when wearing bump helmets instead of actual ballistic protection was thought to be “cool.”

It’s is all a bunch of bullshit.

This. The solid plastic knuckle covering is protective. The Oakley gloves actually protect an opponent, too, became my skinny, boney hands have very sharp, prominent knuckles.
