 |  | Gloves?
< on 2/27/2007 3:04 AM >
|  | | | I'm having a really hard time lately finding some gloves that actually fit well. My problem is that I'm a photographer so I need very tight gloves, but I have fairly small hands for a guy of my age. Does anyone else have the same problem, and have you found a good pair of gloves?

| | | | I personally like motorcross gloves. they are tight, durable, thin but still keep your hands fairly warm.

Just bought these, and I love them. Designed for policemen to use with guns, so they are durable and flexible.

| | | | Mechanix gloves fit really well. They'll set you back $30 or so dollars. Auto parts stores usually carry them.

Yes, if not those, try to find some high-tactile GoJo gloves.

They are very durable, and when they get dirty at all you can throw them in the laundry!

Buy women's leather gloves, at a vintage or consignment shop. They fit small hands well, they're thin yet durable, and tight. The black ones don't look half bad either.
It seemed like a good idea at the time... |

| | | | I don't handle my camera with gloves so that I don't transfer the crap (sometimes it really is poop) onto the camera.
Take off yer right glove, take photo, put yer damn glove back on.

| | | | On the subject of glove use in general, I like women's gardening gloves. They fit my girl hands, and they're durable for climbing and whatnot. Additionally, they provide enough insulation that I can use them for winter ue.
WTF indeed. |

| | | | I use these Gorgonz Pro 350 Extreme Tactility All-Season Gloves from Home Depot. I have no objection to admitting to having girlyhands, and the Small version fits me nicely. The only part I don't like is the cuff, in that it covers my wrists at the point where they bend, and that just bugs me.
Please don't be stupid. It might piss me off so much that I have a seizure or something. I hate stupid people. |

| | | | Hatch Specialist All–Weather Neoprene Shooting Gloves
The NS430 is our most popular duty glove. Designed specifically for all-weather handgun use, this glove is an essential piece of equipment for all men and women of Law Enforcement. The palm is made of Synsi-feel™ synthetic leather, which provides excellent grip and accurate feel. For maximum grip, Toughtek™ non-slip patches are sewn onto the palm and all fingertips except the index finger, to facilitate the best possible trigger control. A Velcro® closure keeps it comfortably and firmly in place. The NS430 feels like a second skin, with unmatched flexibility, dexterity and grip.
Cheers,
UWSDWF |

| | | | Military issue nomex flight gloves are the best value.
They have leather palms/fingers and nomex is pretty durable.
Just fold-up the long wrist gauntlet inside the palm and you're golden.

| | | | im with colinski. i dont wear gloves very often but when i have to, i use mechanics gloves. also walmart sells these gloves called 'SUG" (sport utility gloves) and they come in all different sizes. nice and thin, but they'll keep your hands warm, and also safe.
