Rat[TK] Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm looking around and having a hard time sourcing gloves. Most chemical gloves I find are averaging $50-$70. I'm on a tight budget for such parts any tips where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raintrooper Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hey Rat,I think you're looking at the wrong kind of chemical gloves. Not the expensive PVC gloves, you want the rubber gloves around $5 per pair. Try Home Depot, or trooperbay.com The Home depot gloves are quite a bit thinner rubber than the ones trooperbay carries. I tore mine in half trying to squeeze them on. Trooperbay's are pretty sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliens8us Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 If you go to Walmart and look for chemical gloves they will run you about $7 or so. If you go through the automotive department of Walmart they have black rubber gloves that are the same material as the chemical gloves but has a pretty frilly design that you can simply use a knife to cut off and pay $2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Slight thread hijack, but any suggestions for more breathable ones? Or does rubber end up being ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the rubber gloves to get accepted, submission pictures. On troops, I use a tactical winter glove. Where what's comfortable, just make sure it's black Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks Jason and Andy I thought perhaps I was looking in the wrong places. I was pretty sure I had heard that $5-$10 range on them and then kept running into above stated prices.<br><br> Tim as always you're there with the obvious good and helpful cheer. <br><br> Thank you gentlemen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 So these gloves can be cut down right? Also what are some good options for leather? I'd like to keep it around $20 if possible.<br><br> Jason any ideas for our local area here in Vancouver or Portland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you're using with a TK, the long chemical gloves tuck nicely into the forearm piece. Use cotton glove liners to help reduce the sweat build-up within the gloves.

humperdingle Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah TK of course, I was just thinking trimming them down a bit. Problem with doing that, is that 1. You will lose the reinforced 'lip' around the edge of the opening, and 2. The loose nature of the wrist section may crumple and cover parts of the forearm section of armour. Trial and error, though, you find what suits you when trooping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat[TK] Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So I ended up going with some grease monkey gloves. Now I have a question, is there a way to get rid of the powdery look? I would like to get a little more of a black look, as they are they look dried out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
