Torisempai Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Ok since i didnt want to cause a whole nother post (original posting in quotes) on just gloves here is round two! Mom of mine found these at walmart --------- would they work? seems to be a cotton/polyester mix also my under armor shirt is long enough to stick over the end of the glove if that causes conflict Quote I got this from my brother in law and was wondering if i can use it...got em for free from------- the materials the same but logo locations are different on the hand grips parts for "Silicone printing for enhanced grip" as for the logo strip elastic on bottom i think i can take it off Edited January 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) It's nice to get stuff for free and probably not, sorry. You really need long gloves to go under your forearm armour. You'll see flesh when you bend your wrists with those and I'd be concerned about the logo on the palm and back showing under the corner of a handplate, too. You need Nomex flight gloves style things, or rubber chem gloves.

synaptyx Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Better. The detail on the back will be covered by the handplate. I'm still thinking they're too short. If they're cheap it may be worth a try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd say "no". The nomex seem to get a pass as they at least have leather on many key areas, and most of the fabric is covered by the hand plate. The ones you show are 100% fabric.

Torisempai Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) ok how about latex gloves ------- from homedepot =) i just found em when i was looking for screen meshes for the helmet Edited January 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehickey Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Those are probably more screen accurate but you'll sweat to death in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torisempai Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Those are probably more screen accurate but you'll sweat to death in them! lol yeah i was be thinking about that but i am willing to give it a go since i have access to em easier *points a homedepot across the street* though i dont sweat as much in the hands and i know the gloves cause i wash the dishes with em yellow ones in super hot water so i recon i'd be use to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehickey Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) I just bought these gloves on ebay and they are so awesome. Really impressed with the quality and comfort for such a good price.

Billhag Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) bluehickey said: Those are probably more screen accurate but you'll sweat to death in them! Not exactly true, I wear mine all the time and don't have any problems with them -------- If you're on a budget these are great, not only are they screen accurate, they're also dirt cheap. You can pick a pack of ten up for next to nothing if you hunt around Hope this helps Edited January 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hey, Billy. I'm going to go rubber soon as I get my act together to fit the rubber handplates to the black marigolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 No fooling. I want to look as good as a UKG trooper too. Will be on my upgrade list for next month (all my spare cash went to the UK this month). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8224[501st] Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 You can always wear a pair of cotton gloves under the rubber gloves, feels much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKyoda[501st] Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I use the rubber gloves as well...at first they get sweaty and found them hard to take off after a couple hours trooping...try a little non sented baby powder first then put them on...helps a bit..
