Those gloves were originally designed for mountain bikers.

And they are teh secks for that too. JC I don't know wich kind of riding you do on your MX (track or trails) but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a pair if I were you (well the MX type not the tac ones p-)). They saved my knuckles on quite few occasions on the downhill trails.

I'm too cheap to buy 'em anyways:) I have some $20 Thor MX gloves and they do the job just fine. I dropped the big dollahs on my lid and neck brace.

Black Diamond had some good double gloves and mitts. I have a pair of each. I would not get goretex ones. Just be sure they are seam sealed. In Sub zero it don't matter. Seal seams is for rain.

Technical climbing does not require Techie cloths. One does not climb on their knees. Stay on your toes and away from the ice. Our natural propensity is to hug the wall, a No No. With crampons, keep the heels down.

With reverse curve tools, Hang them don't bash them in. When I followed, I would use the leaders Ice axe scars to place my tools. Very little effort to place and remove.

Layering on gloves is a good idea. A very light finger glove allows the hand to be free, yet maintain warmth.

[TacoDelRio]

I know. :-)

The specifics of San Gabriel mixed climbing has me needing some tough gloves. Lightweight, non-insulated, with funny handjams in "fun quality" rock.

Yeah, Maybe a light weight bomb proof glove for the jams and a warm glove for the S & I.

The best drytool glove out there atm are the Alibi Gloves, http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/browse/Handwear/Ice.html


Theyre so good they have been banned in many ice and drytooling competitions. I just made an order from Outdoor research but didnt order them, they dont fit me :(, which is good cuz theyre bloody expensive. I havent tried the grivel ones.

I like the logo by the way, just made another grivel order yesterday :D :D :D :D, not that Im going to climb anytime soon with a broken ankle :P

I just got a pair of those Oakley gloves for $55, got XXL an they fit me pretty good. Just gonna have to wait till Spring/Summer to actually use them though.

I see now what you mean, I handled snow intentionally with them the other day, took fookin ages to dry! Im not using these gloves for winter climbing!!! soo disappointed, they fit perfectly as they stretch. I really thought I had cracked the gloves problem with them... mmm

[JC0352]

was at this powersports store the other day, and i saw that Fox makes a motocross glove, similar to the oakley the airsoft kids drool over

[RSone]

I'm looking for a pair of gloves for mountainbiking. Preferably with some kind of (frontal) reinforcement on the fingers, breathability and a sweat wipe of some sorts. They must be light enough to articulate properly and enable a good grip on a mountainbike while at the same time keeping my hands at least somewhat warm.

Right now, all i have are fingerless gloves(which you DON'T want to wear this time of the year around here) some light fleece gloves, and thinsulate ones, which are a britch to hold a grip with.

Anyone got any recommendations? Would be much obliged.

[Vince S]

Oakley bro (as I recommanded few pages back). I had a pair like JC just posted but dunno... Never had great experience with Fox products as a whole. I just stick to TLD and Oakley.

I also wore some Shift some time ago, a little less expensive than Oakley and still more durable than Fox.

I climbed with Powerstretch's on, and they'd get wet on steep snow/ice. Swap out for my thicker shell-type gloves when one reaches a ridge or exposure to weather/wind/etc, and place the damp ones in my pants to dry out a bit. They can hold water for a loooong time, though.

Might get some Sealskinz or other thin, waterproof glove for this instead. I can't afford the expensive do-it-all gloves yet.

[airsoftfarmer]

I just got these Oneal Butch MX gloves for Christmas and I gotta say, they're comparable to my Oakleys. They're a lot better protection than mechanix, but they seem to have thin polyester between the fingers. At least they got carbon fiber knuckles.

[KilledByAGirl]

Just got a pair of Camelbak Magnum Force gloves. I was looking for a pair that has protection along the fingers, so these take care of that. The fingers are a little short for me, but that's normal. I always get a large for longer fingers, but with hard knuckle gloves like these, they end up being a bit wide. I hope they hold up better than my blackhawk gloves!

http://www.extremeoutfitters.us/ProductImages/camelbak/gloves/magnumforce.gif

I have the same pair.
They stand up pretty well to abuse.
Excellent gloves with very good protection ive seen in a while, very comfortable and the build quality is top notch.
Hope you enjoy them.

This may be true, but in my experiences no matter how much you pay for a set of gloves they tend to wear out in four months or so. So $19.95, or ~$80?

[Roy Batty]

Oakley gloves are a rip off in comparrison to Mechanix gloves. The Oakley's may last twice as long but at 4 to 5 times the price it doesn't make good math......but if you want to pay for LCF feel free.

just got myself a pair of Hatch Specialist NS430 gloves (for all weather use)

The reason i got them was because of standing guard at plus 3 dgr celsius with massive rain did not do well for my nomex flyers.. my hands we're freezing !

I have the exact same gloves. You do not want to get them wet. Also the leather is not very durable. I almost cut through the glove by tearing apart a thin piece of string.

I had the exact same problem. Problem is that you can't combine warmth and search friendly gloves in one. For thats its better to have a warm jacket and pockets to put your hands. And so I have the perfect solution for you *runs over to the cabinet to see the name of the gloves and runs back*

negatron. all they had was the leather/black/synthetic. taking them to the range this week to see how they do there, but it seems like they are thin enough in the fingers to be all right. 99 percent of the time they will be for construction/field work. the other 1 percent will be hunting. need to pick up some of the regulars just for hunting.

No gloves like that are warm. You can pick a good warm glove (ie look for some leather with tinsulate or similar) or a thin glove where you can keep your fine agility.
Also, when it's cold, as in so cold that you have to cover your hands, wear mittens. And since you wear mittens when it's cold, drill with them. Because if you can change a mag in 4 seconds with mittens, you sure as hell can do it quicker with a thin 5 finger glove.

My 2 cents, and that's how I roll yo.

If you really want to have "assault" gloves or whatever they're called, and have 'em warm (always a relative term), get some liner gloves to wear underneath them (assuming they'll fit underneath).

It sure beats your single layer assault gloves. Also, if you want a liner, you need a glove that is big enough to have some airflow, because it sure as hell sucks if they are too tight. My experience is from Norway, where we have plenty of -Celsius and snow.

Sure? Because it looks like it got a black thumb and index finger, also it a slick fabric without any text on it. The previous one that I answered was Mechanix, but this sure looks green and not coyote.

[OMON]

you dont see the text because the sun shines on it, and the black thumb is because of the shade, u can see the shade continuous on the m240

btw, i use those to, and are great. certainly in those environments and cold

sure? i see no shadow continuoing on the 240 and why couldn´t you read the text but the label on the wrist. your exlanation dosent make sense to me.

[11BREACH]

Ive looked on Suunto website but couldn't really found the exact match, but then again, these images aren't really clear

It's a Suunto Vector.

I'm trying to source some Oakley SI Gloves, medium in Tan colour. No-one in my city sells them, the online retailer in Australia who sells them (legear.com.au) only sell it in black at a stupid price, and there aren't any on eBay.

Does anyone know of any international vendors with the Tan gloves that don't charge a ridiculous price? Cheers.

[flanker7]

Τan are a bit hard to find. The demand is great so they are a bit back on orders, at least that was the case 6 months ago when I was looking

I freaking love you. PM Inbound.

EDIT: I've been told Wiley-X CAG-1 gloves are a viable alternative. Again, these seem to be quite hard to source within Australia, and there aren't any availble on eBay in my size. Is anyone aware of a supplier of these gloves?

(pm response sent)

i didn't like them. others purchased them and were stuck with them. it was either that or the issued nomex that lasted a single month at best.

[Slouch]

You didn't like the Oakleys, or the Wiley-X's?

[timothygfowler]

You didn't like the Oakleys, or the Wiley-X's?

i'm sorry, i meant i didn't care for the wiley-x. 'loved the oakleys. plus the discount i get on oakley gloves/boots/glasses makes it even more enticing. now for the regulation-guided sereant majors out there, oakley now produces flame-retardant gloves.

The CAG-1 gloves are expensive as hell too at the PX. Oakleys are much cheaper for military to purchase.

[matticus]

I got these gloves a few months ago, after 2 weeks of constant use, they fell apart, holes in the fingers, hide dried out and rotting and tears everywhere. Definitely not worth $40.

Pick up a set of Blackhawks. Similar design, mine have lasted for about a year.

[PathFindeR[BE]]

We are issued these in the belgian military now

Haven't abused them yet, but first times i wore them they felt pretty good.

[matticus]

They look nice, we get issued these sh** mechanic gloves, which is ironic 'cause we're infantry

[CAV-TROOPER]

Roger that, great gloves very durable, comfortable, and just plain cool!

[Odassea]

mechanix team issue carbon x lvl 5 gloves

best gloves I have ever owned, more so then my BW SOLAG, OR overlands.

after almost 5 years of use these gloves have saved my hands over and over. other then the fact one hand is slightly melted, so its a bit tight, these gloves are seem almost new. HIGHLY recommend these gloves to anyone. outstanding quality

[Echo-Observer-31B]

Im trying to find some good gloves for the winter and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these gloves ?

http://ca.oakley.com/products/no-exit-snow-glove/94092-001

However It does not say what they are rated to, I was thinking of using these along with a pair of mittens but would like any feed back on them before I purchase a pair. Thanks

My experience with Oakley gloves has always been positive, well made durable gloves, but they've always seemed a bit over-priced.

When it comes to cold, I'm a little girl, so for snow and ice I wear Outdoor Research's Atli gloves, with a ibex micro wool base liner. I think the liner is rated at 400. OR also makes a pair of padded technical ice climbing gloves but I don't know if they are water proof.

Regardless of what glove you get I highly recommend a micro wool liner. They have gotten so thin and finely stitched over the last few years you can easily wear them w/o feeling losing dexterity. Just try and keep the wool away from velcro.

Now after a couple of months using them day in and out they still feel good and seem very durable. Nothing has broken of and no tears, hooray !

Guys have some of you used CamelBak MXC gloves ?

[1Echo]

Hi there,

Can you guys please advise me on some gloves, I have a pair of nomex flight gloves and thinsulate liners for in early spring and autumn times, But I still need a pair of GOOD and warm wintergloves to use in Norway this winter, preferably a little water resistant. I do have mittens but its not that practical during vehicle operations with a map, binoculairs and a whole lot of buttons to press :P

What should I buy, I drive on a vehicle during FTX so the cold wind combined with rain or snow is freezing me.

[Greek soldier]

Check these out.

http://www.theheatcompany.com/shop/gants-c-21.html

I know they're expensive for wintergloves, I do however like the concept of placing a handwarmer inside the gloves, like i.e. the HEAT 3.

Question. Can nomex flight gloves be washed and still retain fire retardant? The writing inside them is too faded to read.

[Greek soldier]

From my Hatch NOMEX gloves' label:

Hand wash with mild soap and water.
Do not use bleach.
Do not machine dry.
Leather conditioner may be used to restore oils.

[steyr_88]

Thank you :D
