Torisempai Posted April 26, 2009 Report 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
synaptyx Posted April 26, 2009 Report 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. See Smitty, or cheaperthandirt Edited January 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
synaptyx Posted April 27, 2009 Report 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
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 27, 2009 Report 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. Quote
Torisempai Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report 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
bluehickey Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Those are probably more screen accurate but you'll sweat to death in them! Quote
Torisempai Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report 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
bluehickey Posted May 8, 2009 Report 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. Edited January 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Torisempai Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Posted May 8, 2009 yeah if all else goes wrong with the rubbers thats the one i am going to >.> right now i am on low budget so not even a penny can be wasted Quote
bluehickey Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 yeah if all else goes wrong with the rubbers thats the one i am going to >.> right now i am on low budget so not even a penny can be wasted I hear ya, I too am trying to see how little I can spend while still creating a quality set of armor.

Billhag Posted May 8, 2009 Report 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
synaptyx Posted May 9, 2009 Report 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
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 9, 2009 Report 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
firebladejedi[TK] Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 I always troop in rubber gloves and have no probs over the last 2 years doing so Quote
Torisempai Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 =) cool i bought the rubbers and tried it on for like a whole day and it seems to be no probs =3 thanks ya all for the opinons Quote
TK-8224[501st] Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 You can always wear a pair of cotton gloves under the rubber gloves, feels much better. Quote
TKyoda[501st] Posted July 27, 2009 Report 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.. Quote
