Gloves

[confedman75]

Who owns/uses gloves here? I heard they slow down your bps, because of the cushioning?

[HoppysMag]

then get no finger gloves... but i doubt it even effects anything,forget about having an effect on it you know, it might slow you down a lil' but not noticible if they slow you down at all, which i doubt they do... i use Ecko skater gloves.

I wear Wicked Mpulse Recoils... Very comfy gloves.:D

[pbguy888]

I use these 10 dollar half finger ones I got a sports Authority 5 years ago. And still to this day they stain my hands black!!

[ogre55]

I used to use workout finderless gloves and these black leather fingerless gloves I have years ago.

No I like the JT full finger gloves. They fit will, the suede palm keeps a steady grip, they are thin enough to feel the trigger well and the give good protection from hand hits.

Got a pair of JT gloves caus they fit well and were comfy. I also play in Canada and needed some insulation in early spring and late fall.

I wear full finger gloves (JT pro series 2002), and have no time ripping 10+bps on my mag. The JT's are getting a bit worn though from heavy useage (I used them the other day when I was shoveling snow, heh), I think the 2003 DYE ones don't look too bad. If you haven't tried playing with gloves, ask to borrow someone's for a game. You really won't notice too much of a difference, except your hands will be much, much more comfortable :D

I am no wuss… but there is a huge difference between getting hit in the hand with gloves on, and without gloves…. I will take the gloved hit thank you. ;) I wear fingerless gloves.

I got a pair of full fingured raven gloves that are just amazing. The padded palm gives a great grip and the fingers are just thin enough to get a good feel on the trigger.I can't tell a difference between shooting without gloves or with them exept when you get shot in the hand from a few feet away you don't bleed when you got gloves on.

I personally don't like wearing gloves when I play. They don't seem neccessary.

[oldsoldier]

I picked up a pair of Mechanix gloves, and cut the first 2 fingers. I did this mainly cuz they only came in large, but they were the color I was looking for. So far, they work great. Havent taken a hit in the hand yet, but, they are padded to keep your hand from getting smacked while working on cars. They have a gel back, we'll see how long that lasts.

[Trench]

I always use them... I am planning on getting som Dye gloves and cutting off the top 2 knuckles of the right hand for better shooting abilities... I cant fan with full finger...

[giblit]

i use some BMX gloves called sidwinders that someone left in my car. i dont know how they got there but i got them. they have padded spots where all the joints are and they are soo cumfy and they have sticky stuff where the fingers are for the trigger :D

[Sparq]

Raven Inferno full finger...love 'em.

[Xerces]

i had the same gloves as pbguy888 for about a year, and i would keep getting hit on the tips of my fingers. last game of the day i got hit 4 times on my fingers in the one game so i decided to buy some JT full fingered gloves. haven't gotten hit on my hand once, since.

[FESTUS33]

I've got 2 pair of JT's
1 pair of
Paintball Mania fingerless
I'm presently using
Snap on Racing gloves
I've never noticed any
slow down in my ROF.
and hand hits don't hurt
as much when you wear em'

[digitard]

For the longest time I never wore em, then a month ago I was playing and got my hand layered from about 2ft away between the fingers resulting in the below picture (not to mention i had cuts all up my right arm from hand to shoulder and one on my neck) ... 1/2 finger gloves are a godsend now ...lol

i do not wear gloves....i dont feel i need them really i got shot twice in hand yesterday and they are cut up a bit but no biggie

[digitard]

This one scarred, thats the only reason I wear em ... welts/cuts are no biggie, just battle wounds to show off ... but I have a paintball shaped scare between my fingers now ... so might as well protect em.

Sincerely,
Dave K

Guy two posts up... Just wait till you are not paying attention and have a finger pointed fowards and you get shot in the tip of it... Holy crap that hurts like a mug...

I just started a few months ago, but not for protection. I figure I can take anything a paintball can dish out(so far...). Anyway I got mine for the grip; the sweat and paint really made it slipery. Gloves solved that, plus they are really comfortable- 2001 or 2000 JT Pre's. Got them really cheap (but they only had purple...)

[boomerfoxtrot]

DYE 3D Core Gloves...

they fit me really well.... and, it did slow my BPS down a bit, so I cut out my two trigger fingers on the right side.... ha... $30 pair of gloves just to end up cutting them... =]

they are padded too... so you won't hurt has bad if you get nailed....

[Bront]

I got my gloves for warmth. It was chilly out one day so I went to the pro shop and got some cheep Piranha gloves. They fit nice, feel comfy, give me a better grip if I get hit with paint, and cushion the blow from a hand shot. No slowdown in BPS either. And, they're pretty warm when it's below 50 or below.

I like the new Evil gloves, they look pretty sweet. I might end up getting those later.

[lloyd_kinky]

I wear my Fox moutain bike gloves. they rock for biking and paintball. yay!

[digitard]

Yeah,
I was looking at the new Evil gloves, chop off the 2 trigger fingers on the right hand and they'd be great .... they're even designed so you can do that on the trigger fingers if you look at the design.

**debating on how to protect his poor scarred fingers**

Oh well....

[Hasty8]

Actually, I use Blackhawk SOLAG gloves. Very tight fit but roomy and good grip.

[flatacid]

i use redz dimension gloves. there ok. to me, gloves are gloves. i used to own some jt's, and those were alot better in terms of warmth. the redz are kinda thin, so i have better feel in them.
