Evan, I've always liked the Damascus gloves. I have 2 pairs that I found as new-old-stock from the 70's that the leather is just as soft in as they should be. I'd go with the Mechanix as my second choice. I use the Mechanix everyday
Since your an LEO you can sign up with Oakley for some SICK discounts. I ran Oakley's in A-stan and they held up great. I did ALOT of climbing.
