They have a unique hybrid construction which combines high and low density materials to deliver maximum “cush”, while the contoured ergonomic shape offers superior knee pad support. Part of the DKX-1’s secret is its GEL and GEL foam center cores which contain two types of shock-absorbing gels bonded together to create unsurpassed comfort. The GEL also absorbs body weight and disperses it within the pad. • Heavy-duty, hard-shell composite cap which is truly NON-SLIP and plants you firmly on any surface. • The GEL cores and the unique caps then work together to produce the best possible knee zone protection from blunt force trauma. • Perforated breathable neoprene coated with silicon at the tops of the pads hug the leg above the knee. • 1000 denier nylon Cordura® braces and protects the rest of the knee area. • Both straps feature silicone coated strips to prevent pads from slipping in motion, and reinforced rivets. • Lined and protected with AEGIS Microbe Shield® which controls bacteria and fungi that cause odor, staining, and material deterioration. • The ergonomic design of the DKX-1 as a unit conforms to the knees like no other and produces superb mobility. The pads have been extensively designed specifically for law enforcement and military to produce the highest level of durability and extended knee pad life. 28 • Available Colors DKX-1 (black), DKX-2 (od green), DKX-3 (coyote tan), DKX-4 ( ACU digital camo) Elite Tactical Ops #DEP : IMPERIAL™ Hard Shell ELBOW Pads • Hard shell polyurethane thermoplastic non-slip elbow caps • Reinforced foam padding for shock absorption and wear comfort • Two adjustable Elastic straps with Velcro® and D-rings for the most secure fit • High tenacity, air textured DuPont Ultra Cordura® nylon outer materials • Superior abrasion and tear resistance • Dull finish non-reflective tone-on-tone grommets • Ergonomic curved form • Interior name tags for personal identification • Washable • One size fits all #DKP : IMPERIAL™ Hard Shell KNEE Pads • Hard shell polyurethane thermoplastic non-slip knee caps • Reinforced foam padding for shock absorption and wear comfort • Two adjustable Elastic straps with Velcro® and D-rings for the most secure fit • High tenacity, air textured DuPont Ultra Cordura® nylon outer materials • Superior abrasion and tear resistance • Dull finish non-reflective tone-on-tone grommets • Ergonomic curved form • Interior name tags for personal identification • Washable • One size fits all Colors and Style #’s: #DEP-1 / Black #DEP-2 / OD Green #DEP-3 / Coyote Tan #DEP-4 / ACU Digital Camo #DEP-5 / Foliage Green #DEP-6 / MultiCam® Camo Colors and Style #’s: #DKP-1 / Black #DKP-2 / OD Green #DKP-3 / Coyote Tan #DKP-4 / ACU Digital #DKP-5 / Foliage Green #DKP-6 / MultiCam® Camo NEW NEW DAMASCUSGEAR.COM Hard Shell Knee / Elbow Pads 29 #DNKP-4 : IMPERIAL™ Neoprene Knee Pads with Trion™ non-slip pads #DNSG-3 : IMPERIAL™ Neoprene Knee/Shin Guards with Trion™ non-slip pads •Stealthy durable neoprene outer shell with reinforced stitching throughout •Silent and form fitting •Trion™ Non-slip grip technology on knee pads •Shock absorbing 10mm foam, plus a second layer of polyurethane foam in knee pads for max comfort •Multiple adjustable elastic straps and Velcro® closures for secure fit for various leg girths •Can be worn inside or outside of gear •One size fits all •Stealthy durable neoprene outer shell with reinforced stitching throughout •Silent and form fitting •Trion™ Non-slip grip technology on knee pads •Shock absorbing 10mm foam, plus a second layer of polyurethane foam in knee pads for max comfort •Multiple adjustable elastic straps and Velcro® closures for secure fit for various leg girths •Extended padded protection in shin section to deflect debris •Can be worn inside or outside of gear •One size fits all NOTE: Available in Black (-B), By Special Order: Olive Drab (-OD) Tan (-T) #DNE-4 : IMPERIAL™ Neoprene Elbow w/non-slip pads 30 Neoprene Pads / Shin Guards #FA30 : FlexForce™ style Hard Shell Forearm/Elbow Protector #DSG-100 : IMPERIAL™ Hard Shell Knee/Shin Guards •Two piece hard Electrum XK8™ outer shell provides flex needed by your forearm and elbow. •Shock absorbing Protium™ foam covered with 420 denier Cordura nylon •Polyester mesh lines the inside which offers comfort and breathability •Adjustable straps fasten with durable nylon elastic and Velcro® •Two Sizes: Men’s MD/LG and XXLG/XXXLG •Hard-shell knee caps with Trion™ Non-slip grip technology •Hard-shell polyethylene shin plates with dull black finish to avoid reflection •Heavy-duty reinforced foam padded nylon inner leg support •High tenacity, air textured DuPont Ultra Cordura® nylon outer materials •Multiple adjustable elastic straps and Velcro® closures for secure fit for various leg girths •Adjustable (and removable) foot guard plates •Interior name tags for personal identification •Washable #FP-10 : IMPERIAL™ EVA Forearm protectors •Forearm protection from wrist to elbow •Lightweight EVA foam with hard shell plastic inserts •Two adjustable straps •Protected with a durable tight-weave polyester mesh •One size fits all Available Sizes: • MD-LG • XLG DAMASCUSGEAR.COM 9” shin guard (22.86 cm) / 15” total length (38.10 cm) *excluding foot guard 11” shin guard (27.94 cm) / 19” total length (48.26 cm) *excluding foot guard Forearm / Shin Guards 31 #DCP-2000 : IMPERIAL™ EVA Upper body and Shoulder Protector •Lightweight cellular EVA foam pad design for maximum movement and protection •Neck-roll features 40mm high-density sponge foam •Shoulder pads with hard shell plastic inserts and foam padding •Protected with a durable tight-weave polyester mesh •Adjustable reinforced straps with Velcro® •Non-ballistic •Approximately 2 lbs (.9 kg) #TG-20 : IMPERIAL™ Thigh / Groin Protector DCP-2000 Back View Size Range (as measured by chest size): • Medium: 38”-42” (96.5 –107 cm) • Large: 42”-46” (107 – 117 cm) • X-Large: 46”-52” (117 – 132 cm) • XX-Large: 52”-56” (132 – 142 cm) • XXX-Large: 56”+ (142 cm+) REFLECTIVE NAME PLATES AVAILABLE.

DAMASCUSGEAR.COM Promotional Products 45 CARING FOR DAMASCUS PRODUCTS GENERAL PRODUCT CARE: Damascus Gloves® are quality products made with the highest quality materials and can be easily washed if done properly. While we feel our gloves are extremely durable and an excellent value for your money, they are not indestructible and common sense does apply. Damascus Gloves® are NOT work gloves. If you use them for rough manual labor, stacking lumber, changing tires, expose them to extreme heat, expose them to harsh or caustic substances, leave them to bake on the dash of your car, or allow your cat or dog to use them for chew toys, you will likely find your gloves to be in substantially worse condition than when you bought them. Many people find our gloves will last them several years while others will wear them out in a few months. It all depends on how often you wear them, how you use them, and how well you take care of them. Only you can determine whether or not our products lived up to your expectations. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, please let us know about it. Regarding Cut Resistant Gloves, while the liners are highly abrasion resistant, remember, the leather shells of styles such as the Q5, Q6, etc. are designed for sensitivity, close fit, and maximum dexterity. Our leathers are not cut resistant in and of themselves. As such, the gloves must be treated in the same manner as our other all-leather gloves. While Cut Resistant Gloves should significantly increase the wearer’s safety against sharp or highly abrasive surfaces, if such contact is encountered, the shells can likely be permanently damaged. We assume this is preferable to serious injury to your hands. Also, Cut glove inserts are knitted products. Another thing that will help extend the life of your Damascus brand handwear: be sure you have a correct fit. Gloves that are either too tight or too loose will wear out more quickly. Gloves should fit snugly but not tightly. If they slip on easily when first bought they will probably be too large when broken in. Conversely, even though a main feature of our gloves is a snug close fit, don’t try to overdo it. If you’re a size Large, wear size Large gloves even if you can force your way into a size Medium - what you will end up with is a very odd looking restrictive pair of gloves that will split apart so on after first putting them on. WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLOVES: Leather or Leather Palmed Gloves: Leather is a porous material. Gloves that are left covered or impregnated with grit, dirt, or grime will not only look and feel unpleasant, but will also wear out more quickly. To wash your Damascus Gloves®, remove excess grime, dirt, etc., and gently hand wash in cool to lukewarm water using mild PH-balanced detergent. DO NOT wash any other articles with the gloves as some of the dye will run. This is normal. Many fine glove leather products are available, however, we find a gentle shampoo works very well, is usually readily available, and very cost effective. Rinse thoroughly in cool to lukewarm water. Repeat if necessary. Gently squeeze out excess water. We also recommend thoroughly coating gloves inside and out with quality PH-balanced hair conditioner and let stand one minute (this helps replace any leather topping oils which may have been removed). Again, while there are many fine products on the market, we have found hair conditioner works extremely well, is also readily available and inexpensive, and has a pleasant fragrance. Rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water. Pat dry with towel, flatten out and shape. Lay on a flat surface and air dry. DO NOT MACHINE DRY OR USE DIRECT HEAT OF ANY KIND ON LEATHER GLOVES. DO NOT DRY IN THE DIRECT SUN. DO NOT USE BLEACH. RAZORNET ULTRA™ and RAZORNET MAX™ blend knit liners can be worn alone but will last longer if used according to design inside a glove shell. If wearing alone, avoid snags. Hand or machine wash, warm water only. Use soap or detergent. Bleach if necessary. Air dry at temperatures less than 120 degrees F. Inserts made with RAZORNET™ blend yarns can be sterilized using chlorine bleach. DuPont® Kevlar® knit liners can also be worn alone. If wearing alone, avoid snags. Hand or machine wash. Use mild soap, NO BLEACH. Sterilize in boiling water at least 20 minutes. Air dry or tumble dry low. Disinfecting: Unlike inserts of RAZORNET™ and Kevlar®, no leather glove can be completely disinfected against infectious pathogens, blood borne or otherwise, according to OSHA guidelines. In the event of such contact, gloves, like your shoes, uniform, belt, and other garments and porous accessories, must be discarded and/or incinerated. However, a disinfectant such as liquid Lysol® brand can be applied for everyday health concerns by adding it to the water during normal washing without damaging the gloves. This is the preferred method. As an alternative, the gloves can also be sprayed with an aerosol type disinfectant, allowed to dry, and repeating the process once or twice. The interior of gloves can also be disinfected by turning them inside out and treating in the same manner. Regardless of the manner used, the gloves should be washed thoroughly as described previously. Synthetic based gloves using materials such as Spandura®, Clarino® synthetic leather, Neoprene etc. as found in our styles MX10, MX30, DNS860, etc. can be cared for much in the same way as our leather styles. Hand washing is preferred, for longevity however machine washing is acceptable. NO BLEACH should be used at anytime. The products are best if air-dried. WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TACTICAL GEAR: Please contact us at CustomerCare@DamascusGear.com for specific requests on these products. For any product care details or questions not answered on this page, you may contact us directly. 46 Product Care SIZING YOUR DAMASCUS GLOVES How to Find Your Size: Usually one hand will be slightly larger than the other, typically the strong hand (e.g. the right if right handed). Using a tape measure, wrap the tape around the hand at the widest part as shown and make a loose fist. Round the measurement to the nearest whole inch. Sizing is based on a “normal” or “standard” size hand. Unfortunately, almost no one actually has a “standard” sized hand, no two people’s hands are the same, and no pair of hands matches exactly. Similarly, no two pairs of gloves are exactly alike, as each pair is cut individually and since leather is a natural product, no two skins are exactly alike, nor is the leather uniform throughout the skin. While we try to be exact, some gloves will have a little more stretch in the width, and some a little less. We refer to these as “soft” (a little more stretch) and “firm” (a little less stretch) sizes. You can check this by pinching the sides of the glove on either side of the knuckle area and pulling outwards. A “perfect” size should stretch about 3/4” for an unlined glove, 1” for a lightly lined glove, and 11/4” for a thickly lined glove. A “soft” pair will have slightly more, a “firm” pair slightly less. People with shorter fingers should try going down 1 size and trying on a “soft” pair. People with longer fingers should go up 1 size and trying a “firm” pair. Sizing is broader in the Damascus Hand Armor line and most are “firm” sizes.
