On December 10, 2002 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued BlackHawk® Industries Patent # D466,672S for the HellStorm™ Gloves incorporating the Quad Index Finger Stitching.

The U.S. Patent grants BlackHawk® Industries the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the design throughout the United States of America or importing the design into the United States of America for the term of fourteen (14) years from the date of grant of this patent.

The Quad Stitching Rings on the index finger increase grip and allow the user to custom fit, cut and modify the index finger portion of the glove.

Cutting in between any one of the four stitch lines allows the user to remove a portion of the glove to expose the trigger or index finger for more dexterity, better trigger control, better use of the finger for buttons on radios, keypads on GPS units , the list goes on and on.

The significance of the HellStorm™ Glove patented stitch rings is to enhance glove performance and prevent the glove from falling apart or unravelling after custom modifications.

BlackHawk® Industries HellStorm™ Gloves are designed for the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement Special Operations units.
