Glove Suggestions

[robnix]

Something I don't hear talked about much, gloves. I'm tired of using cheap gloves that stain my hands black. Any thoughts on gloves? I'm looking for something not too heavy, padding not needed, stain free.

I use Fox motocross gloves, they are not very padded, but have harder plastic across the tops of your hands/fingers and have held up very well to use on the field.

I reccommend Dye or proto gloves because they are the most comfortable and don't stain. Something I have noticed is non-pb gloves are a pain to wear in a game because they are bulkier and you really cant have bulky padding with a tight trigger guard. Dye and Proto have made lighter small gloves that dont stain. Eclipse has good ones also but they stain your hand...

Empire SS are really nice as well.

personal glove reviews

Dye C4 gloves - you can find em for 20.00 or less online, they dont stain, the look nice, they are comfy, and thick enough to take a few bounces.


I have Dye Core - stain your hands bad, craptastic stitching, will fall apart in a few weeks of play.

Raven Morphion - rubber "straps" on fingers break off, and surface material gets slick if hands get paint on them, but I have a pair that have held up to a lot of play for 6 years

JT - anything - stitching will last you about 2 weeks in these piece of garbage gloves - bette roff using Mechanix shop gloves than these things.

Invert SS Gloves - New, have not played with them yet. they are thin with a lot of tactile feeling and a squeegie they run small ( as do the pants )

Dye C4-C7? - All have about the same "glove" feel, the sensa touch crap is all hype ( little nubs in the finger tips ) but they dont stain, and are very comfy - thincker than most gloves, so you lose a little tactile feeling, but you are pulling a trigger not picking a lock

Wool half finger fish cleaning gloves with rubber nubbies - Comfortable, thick to take massive bounce, itch when they get wet, and make your hands sweat pretty good. May also stink of fish if you took them from a tackle box <- it was a spur of th emoment paintball game


Just my opinions for you

For the money - go with Dye, as poser-ish as it may seem, I think DYE puts out some of the best gear for paintball, just buy the stuff from 2-3 years ago and it even becomes affordable.

Oh I still have 3 pairs of them that I use on occasion - usually filling tanks and working in the box at the field. but every one of them has thread coming out on the fingertips or the edge of the palm area now.

I have a pair of Raven gloves got them for 7 bucks on AV, for the price best gloves ever. They are kinda bulky but they are pretty durable. I just got a pair of evil gloves there nice, not bulky at all. So if you feel like spending more money I would say evil, dye or proto. They all felt the same to me.

Soak the gloves in water for a few days, then wash them with some dark clothing. It will take care of the majority of staining...however you generally end up with purplish colored gloves.

Thanks for the tips from everyone. I'm going to start with the Dye C4's, found 'em on Ebay for $9.99. I'll see how they work out and go from there.

I use bicyle gloves. The good ones have a soft padding on the beck, for wiping you nose, but work great for those hand hits. The name brand is Izumi, I think. Very comfortable.

I saw those at a local sporting goods store the other day, almost got them.

I won a pair of evil gloves that I use a lot but the best thing I have ever used were regular old brown jersey gloves without fingers and a couple sizes big. Close range bounces to the hands rule.

If you're gloves are bleeding dye then soak them in salt water. Change it out twice a day. after 2 or 3 days the water will stay clear.

Despite what people say, my proto gloves stain my hands something feirce...

Ive found the best remedy though.

Dont wear gloves.

(cant stand wearing gloves, but thats just me.)
