Glove question

[Pledford[TK]]

I need recommendations for gloves. I'm sort of at a loss here.<br>

I have looked through the forum but have not found anything yet.

First off, two questions:

 

(1) What version of TK are you doing?

(2) How accurate do you want to be?

ANH TK<br>

501st approval

[tkrestonva[TK]]

From the CRL:

Gloves

For 501st approval:
•Black in color, made of either rubber, nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed, non-textured.

For level two certification (if applicable):
•Gloves shall be rubber or rubber-like chemical gloves, in black.

For basic 501st approval, pretty much any plain (no visible logos or designs) black glove that extends past the wrist will do. Nomex gloves of the sort worn by military types are a popular choice.

For higher levels (Expert Infantry and Centurion) you will want black chemical gloves. They can be uncomfortable to wear, so you'll also want cotton undergloves to wear underneath them and to absorb sweat from your hands.

I use the ones from home depot. There a little sweaty but the feel is perfect for timid little ones when they reach for your extended hand.

Perfect! Wow that's the easiest part of the build!<br>

Thanks guys

Here in FL. it gets a bit warm wearing rubber gloves in the summer, so for those occasions I use these, and LOVE em'!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cold-Weather-Fleece-Liner-Nomex-Flight-Flyers-Gloves-Black-Green-Tan-/290607730461.  I like the fact that they are tight, (I can pick up coins), breathable,  and also the wrist extends a bit further than regular gloves, so they stay tucked under my forearm armor.

I have one pair of comfortable mountain bike black gloves with velcroed back to attach ABS handplates for average trooping, and a pair of movie accurate chemical gloves with latex hand plates for 501 approval
