Construction style of Wildland gloves

• A. Gunn cut, two middle fingers separated for extra mover ability
• B. Roll cut with reinforced palm
• C. Gunn cut, two middle fingers separated for extra mover ability
• D. Kepro cut with enclosed fingertips

Answer: (C)

Wildland gloves need to protect the hand while still letting you manipulate tools and ropes with precision. The Gunn cut pattern follows the natural bend of the hand and tends to keep bulk away from the fingertips, giving a comfortable, close fit. Having the two middle fingers separated further reduces fabric between the fingers, which enhances finger independence and grip feel. That combination improves mover ability and dexterity without sacrificing protection, making it the best choice for handling small handles, fine control, and rapid tool manipulation in wildland work. Roll cut patterns often add more bulk to the fingertips and can limit dexterity, while Kepro cut with enclosed fingertips can restrict fingertip feel.
