The Best Hand Protection

[cbcsteve]

Thanks a loads everyone (except for the obvious troll)

So many choices going to have to try them all

[Crunchmeister]

I have a pair of the ebaybanned Oakley knockoffs. They're cheap, quite comfortable, well ventilated, and offer decent protection. The down side is they're not terribly durable, and repeated contact with velcro (reaching into mag and drop pouches) will ruin them in a hurry.

Based on my experience, next season I'll more than likely pick up a pair of the real Oakley gloves.

Cavity searches... Gloves... Going in dry?

LOL

CBC, I have the first pair from the links you provided. They are durable and cheap, but not very comfy.
I'm looking into the Oakley's myself.

Did someone say cavity search gloves?

Hmm Oakleys and Mechanix I'll remember these names sounds like they hold their own well

I'm currently using Mechanix in Coyote Brown. Excellent dexterity and fairly good protection.

Got these mecahnix mpact for $15 at Canadian Tire on sale. Not too thick or thin and the knuckle plastic helps protect a bit. I painted the plastic black.

Mechanix are awsome! I always use the pair I don't need anymore at work for AS. The 20$ price tag doesn't hurt at all when they fall apart (though it takes quite some time to actually rip them)

I gotta say I am a big fan of the oakleys. I got two pair and I wear them for everything. I wear them with the army, airsoft, motorcycle, as motorcycle gloves, yard gloves, wood working gloves, moving gloves. Both pairs are still in great shape. I have even washed them despite them saying not to.

another +1 for the Mechanix gloves. I've got a pair of the coyote brown Originals. I know from experience with them from work that they'll put up with a lot of abuse.

I just bought a pair of genuine Oakleys. I love them! Great fit, very tactile sensitivity to gun controls, etc due to the thinner palm. The index and middle fingers have great little grip dimples on them, excellent performance.
