MECHANIX
I swear by these gloves. I have used them for the last several years for everything for projects around the house to 8 hour days of intense manipulation of AR15's and Shotguns. Go with these from Amazon for $18 and you wont be disappointed in the least!
Fits true to size. Kbails84 |

Mechanix roofing gloves (with the protective strips on the knuckles) are $20 at lowes, and are the best damn tactical gloves ive ever used! low profile, great knuckle protection, excellent dexterity, wonderfully grippy palm. They are also tough as nails. Flaw:not made of nomex. That's IT.
I liked the Oakley Hard knuckle assault gloves, but the mechanix are 1/3-1/4 the price, and handle way better. |

If you want a third choice, the Hatch SOG L50 Operator Shorty gloves are made of nomex/kevlar with goatskin. Very nice fit, excellent grip & dexterity, good low profile, plus added protection from flashburns. Very comfortable, great protection, very tough gloves. Not very sexy, but incredibly well made.
They run in the $40-50 range |

Another idea... strol by your local pharmacies and take a peek at some of the wheelchair gloves. Most are fingerless (short fingered), but they are padded well, and are expected to last quite a while.

Sources for gloves, $, styles...
Depending on your budget & the use(s) you plan for the gloves, here are some top websites/firms.
www.Blackhawk.com www.Safariland.com www.5.11tactical.com www.policehq.com www.uscav.com www.qmuniforms.com . I'd suggest the type that protect the knuckles/back-hand & provide a tight, secure fit. Nomex & Spectra-Shield help protect the hands & digits. I'd heard from a few sources that Kelvar does not function properly when it's wet.  The Blackhawk SOLAG, the Hatch Shorty-Operator & the 5.11 ATAC styles are good. Some brands allow you to cut out the thumbs & index or trigger fingers.  CF |
