Gloves that don't stain!

[InexactMelissa]

Possibly soaking them in salt water would help? I know that's a good way to set dye in fabrics. Alternately, if you don't care about armored fingers or looking cool you could just get non-paintball gloves. I have been using sailing gloves made of synthetic leather - they're designed to get wet without getting stiff, take a lot of abrasion, they're light and breathable, come with full or half fingers, BUT they don't offer much in the way of padding. Other people I know either wear mechanic's gloves or deal with black stains from the Dye gloves.

I think the black stuff that comes out of the DYE gloves is just absorbed paint. When ever I took a breech shot in my mag this black stuff would form around the bolt similar to what oozes out of my DYE gloves. If you wash them enough till the black stop comings out and dry them a few days before you play you should be fine. I've never got my hands stained playing if I wash them before.

These are the gloves I have (20 bucks).

These are nice too (30 bucks).

Guys guys guys. Its all to do with drying the glove properly before you use it. You should wash the glove after use (and if you leave it in your kit bag till the next time you play then more fool you) as you get sweat, paint, coffee etc on them. If you don't wash the glove and then dry it properly it will stain you.

Try it. If it stains, it probably ain't dry.

I've tried quite a few different brands. The easiest solution is to get the gloves you think feel the best, then make them bleed all the excess dye out. There have been a few different options already given. Personally I just throw a new pair in the wash. They will bleed out excess dye in the washing machine, so don't wash with your regular clothes. What I do is wait till I've got a load of dirty stuff from playing and throw the new pair in with all my other gear. If they still stain after you wash them once, repeat.

the old raven flames are the best

I've had to sew mine a couple times so they wouldnt completely fall apart, but they are worth trying to save

I have a pair of JT premiere 2K i think... They have never stained me, even after i wore them the first time with no pre-wash. I love these gloves and Im not looking forward to the day i need to replace them...

I just use my old pair of Axo MX gloves. Clarino palm(padded too), with lycra side panels on the fingers, and neoprene over the knuckles. Best gloves i ever had. cost 40 bucks though. Not sure what the new ones are like, but I would buy them again in a second.

I use JT that stain, dye that stain, and wake boarding gloves. I normally don't care, but if I'm gonna be doing something where I'll care if my hands are stained I just throw a pair of those disposable plastic sanitary gloves (like the ones doctors use) as a liner.

Yes, this winter I was thinking of getting all new gloves as well (for me and the kids). And the black staining is a top issue with us as well. This is also a reason I have been considering going outside the paintball industry for the gloves.

Hatch Tactical make ome really nice glove. Their specialist glove are pretty nice,

Blackhawk tactical make good ones too. The hellstorm ones are really nice, i have a pair, they fit great and have great wrist support too.
