Which glove do YOU wear? Any why?

[paradigmsk8er]

either hatch operator in tan, or hatch knockoff neoprene gloves.

 

 

the knockoffs are good for stuff where i need to be really tactile, theyre thin and breathe a lot more, but offer little or no protection from anything.

 

 

 

the operators are insane..nomex with kevlar lined palms means the razor sharp palmetto leaves, barbed wire, adn thorns arent a problem for me..and they fit incredibly well and look sharp. only drawback is theyre hot as hades

[Skarclaw]

Thinsulate olive fingerless or some polartec ones if it is colder and I don't need to use a gun or something.

[Drayvn]

Best ever stuff ive tried are these, many a time ive used a lighter with these on and havent even burnt through

 

Brambles and thorn bushes havent been a problem and just great to wear when having a gun around them!

 

Blackhawk Fury Gloves

[kliskey]

I just use standard wooly gloves Though I am thinking of upgrading

[The Quarter-master]

I have used weight lifting gloves for ages don't give you any real protection against BBs though. Might stop being such a cheap skate one day and get something a li'l more tactical.

[gunsR'us]

I wear the full finger PVC and there pretty good protection wise, like Tome said there not to great for doing fiddly stuff.

[HaVoC]

Nomex Aviators, Oakley MTBs, Ringer's Originals.

 

Depending on the weather and area, basically.

 

I voted Oakleys 'cos they're my favourite

Alpinestar neopreme motocross gloves FTW.

The white scratched of along time ago so no worries about that giving away my position.

ATM I have the South West Motorsports Heat Grip CT gloves. I really like them, and I cant wait for SWMS's new line of gloves to come out

 

I am looking at the Oakley gloves, but IMHO they are very expensive for what they are

Pair of SUG's I found at Wal-Mart one day

 

Like this:

 

 

...but in a very stylish OD

I use nomex, works very well and I am very pleased. I would like to try out the "Operator" gloves one of these days.

[JCYC5]

Wow! A lot more operator gloves than I thought and less flight gloves..

 

Damn, really craving for those Oakleys...

[catsfrommars]

I wear a pair of leather kevlar-lined motorcycle gloves my day gave to me. They@re damn comfortable and protected me from everything from hits to razorwire! Problem is that it@s not a tight fit, so it@s hard to handle some weapons making reloading a pain. But they look damn cool

[The Waco Kid]

Kevlar SOLAGs for me.. got 'em cheap 'n' cheerfully and they're excellent gloves.... Nomex gloves are nice but I don't find them robust or long-lasting enough for my tastes, YMMV of course...

I wear the Operator gloves. They have saved my hands from a number of cuts and scrapes since our field has a great deal of mesquite trees. The padded knuckles have saved me a few bruises when trying to get under cover in a hurry. However, the seams seem to be weak on these gloves. I had to repair the seam on the left side of the right index finger, and the leading edge of the knuckle pad on the right glove.

 

Before these I used black Nomex flight gloves. The Operators fit much tighter and the elastic cuffs keep them from sliding around at all.

I voted other as I use a range of different gloves depending on the loadout (bit of a geerdo myself).

I have to second the above comments about the Hatch operator glove, my personal favourite as they fit me "like a glove" quite literally, however they are not the hardest wearing. The trigger finger stitching goes pretty rapidly, some of the sites used by PMC guys recommend getting a pair of gloves for each month or two of an operation.

I use a pair of black full finger Barbour shooting gloves with my DPM loadout in the winter. The suede palm & neoprene back work reasonable well in damp & cold weather. In the summer I have a trimmed down set of flight gloves that are favourite.

I've never liked fiddling about with BB's when wearing patrol or duty style gloves, flight gloves have just that bit more feel in them and cover your hand from minor scratches well enough. I mainly wear full finger gloves as I tend to muck about with pyro's & blank grenades a fair bit.

Specialised enduro kevlar reinforced full fingers

British Army OD half-finger

[boardslide113]

I wear black gloves that are made for mtn biking.

 

Godbless...

[Ghost_Rider]

I run full finger PVC 'rhino' gloves that I got issued when I worked for delta force paintball and never gave back......
