I need a pair of gloves...

[Glock 'em down]

I've never owned a pair of "tactical" gloves, and frankly, after seeing some of the prices out there, I'm not sure I really want a pair.

I've looked at all the major makers...Oakley, Hatch, 5.11 Tactical, Blackhawk, Voo-Doo tactical, etc. They all look about the same to me. Is there a brand out there that most everybody swears by? And of course, you know me what's the best gloves for the money (read: inexpensive).

I've read good things/reviews about the Oakleys, but I've got the Wiley X gloves. I'm planning on getting a pair of the Oakleys as a backup.

I have Oakley's but pretty much never wear them. If I'm wearing gloves, they're almost always either nomex flight/CVC gloves with the cuff flipped up, or some mechanix gloves. I pay about $12 plus shipping for the flyers gloves on eBay, and about $19 for mechanix at walmart. Both gloves serve their purpose. Dexterity and fit are good with both, and protection is ok.

Mechanix wear them for everything

Under armour tactical fit nice and work well for me. You can pick them up for around 35.00

I just got som in Coyote and I think they're really nice. They fit a bit snug but they're still comfy and I like them a lot more than my Mechanix gloves.

Have you considered that you can get the Oakleys many people seem to favor at a deep discount because you are LEO?

Keep that in mind when pricing them.
