Ray Allen Manufacturing Kevlar Bite Gloves
Ray Allen's Kevlar Bite Gloves hold a best-in-class position for protective bite gloves because they combine high cut and puncture resistance with a lightweight, flexible design that keeps trainers safe without sacrificing dexterity. Technically advantaged by woven Kevlar fibers, they are often more affordable than heavy leather or multi-layered European specialty gloves, making them a cost-effective choice for regular training and law-enforcement applications compared with the pricier Schweikert and Gappay options.

Review Summary
"Reviewers consistently highlight outstanding protection and premium craftsmanship with the Gappay hard gloves, noting they stand up to heavy-duty decoy work; however the hard-shell design is heavier and bulkier for long sessions. Considered a top-tier protective option despite the weight and higher price."
