Okley is the way to go, I just got a set for my deployment, I have wrecked my knuckels too many times to count, and now I don't need my brass knuckels any more, lol not kidding. But have a set of mechanic gloves on stand buy.
I burned through so much Gucci (5.11, Converse, Oakley......) kit last tour I just stopped trusting it. Stay simple. Mechanix gloves are 1/4 of the price and last twice as long.....
Which experience do you have with Mechanix Wear gloves, model Original with protection over sharp thinks, puncture protection? Thank you for answer.
Just got some Hatch X11 gloves for my job as a bouncer. Feels good, looks good. Just hope they work good![]()
Can anyone recommend a glove that have protection at the middle joint on the fingers? Most gloves omit protection there to bend your fingers more easily. Price range of ≤$50
I know the Ironclad Super Duty gloves have the entire back of each finger protected, but I'd rather not have the yellow on my gloves. Also, I know the Camelbak Magnum Force gloves have protection there too, but they are expensive. I had ordered them from Botach for a good price, but I never received them.

......and Botach are renowned thieves. Lots of folks have paid for stuff that never arrived. I avoid them like the plague.
Thanks! I dont know how I never saw those on their website.
Re: Botach - Yes, after I ordered from them the first time, I saw all of the terrible reviews, and was so nervous, but thankfully, I received the order (~$200 worth), but I was not so lucky the second time.
Oh, and if a glove like I described above exists with a long cuff, that would be even better.
i still run issue nomex, i get about a year out of each pair, cant go wrong!
I bought a pair of these on eBay for mild weather ****ing around, shooting and such. But when it gets really cold im relying on the standard issued mittens.
