Gloves: alternative to PIG gloves?

[Charger442]

ive been using PIG gloves for shooting/hunting/general thin gloves that are easier to handle things than the yellow rawhide construction gloves.

i really like the PIG gloves but i seem to be good with them for a couple of months of regular use and then the seems on the fingers blow out and they are worthless. Im not an operator or high speed guy but id like some dexterous gloves that are better quality than the PIG gloves. also, they have gotten more expensive like eveyrthing else.

are mechanix gloves the way to go? i dont really need the knuckle protection of the high speed oakley gloves but ill take all suggestions.

I would go outdoor research but they ain’t cheap.

I've been using these for years they work great except for one weakness. The stitching between the leather fingertips and the nomex backing comes loose. I have had to turn the fingers inside out and re-sew them.

I put up with that inconvenience because they are so comfortable, even in hot weather when I need something to protect my hands.

I like the Mechanix Fastfit gloves.

I will say I'm pretty medium speed, acceptable drag.

I look at gloves like I do sunglasses, I'm going to destroy them one way or another so why dump a bunch of money into them, they're a wear item. So for that, I like me some Mechanix Fastfit gloves. They're easy to find, easy on the wallet, come in multiple colors, and they're reasonably durable. I use them for work, the range, and around the house and have never really regretted it. I'm also reasonably dexterous with them on, I can manipulate small parts, operate safeties, stuff like that.

Originals are good too but I don't like the velcro strap thing, it always ends up coming loose and dangling.

for these type of gloves, i do like the velcro. if im wearing some buckskin gloves, i like the Wells Lamont hydrahyde slipons.

I have been using these for years. Really good.

Rogers Shooting Gloves

The Rogers Shooting Gloves are superior to any other shooting glove, in that, they provide a rock solid, locking grip to the weapon and each other via the patent pending design of interlocking textured silicon pads that run up both sides of each finger and palms. The textured locking pads are...

ordered a couple of pairs of mechanix gloves. will try a pair of these also. thank you,.

 

[powdahound76]

I have tried them all it seems.

Mechanix with velcro are decent.

Depending on what I am doing, I use them or the fast fit noted above.

Both are great and I buy several pairs when I find a good sale.

For $20 the Mechanix stuff is great. Get a merino wool liner for cold-ish weather if need be.

they look quality but looking for something that stops at the wrist.

Pentagon, onetac, and Magpul all make a short cuffed nomes glove like the long ones posted.


Or you could do what we used to do way back when, and have them cut and hemmed back

Maybe you could get something more fashionable but still a little mercenary like these guys:

Don’t like nomex gloves? Just saw this on another thread:

Hannibal couldn't hit shit. Maybe it was the gloves that affected accuracy?

 

[BlackCypressRobb]

Outdoor research makes several types of gloves that aren't too expensive and are more durable than the pigs. I usually buy mine off ebay for $40-50.

I use the Mechanix 0.5mm high dexterity. I like them for limiting bare skin exposure in light duty situations. I doubt they’d last more than a day or two if I used them for actual work. Sounds a lot like the Pig gloves, but at least they’re not $50!

Cut level 3 (or higher) nitrile dipped work gloves.

 

[ironman56]

Gloves, you guys wear gloves!!!!

It helps keep the bandaids on.

Cheap batter's gloves work awesome

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Is everybody wearing gloves only when it is cold, or do you shoot with gloves all the time?

I live in the south, and I never see anybody competing with gloves on, which is why I asked the question.

Spent 25 years wearing them. Not impressed with their durability. I'd got through 6-7 pair every couple months

Just when it's cold, for me. Non operator

For me it's situation and weather dependent. If it's cold out I'll throw them on, if the gun's hot from being in the sun and/or shooting I'll throw them on, if I just need some extra grip then I'll put them on. For me, having the Mechanix Fastfit gloves on at least my support hand while shooting with a sling (traditional loop fashion) helps too. That's why I always keep a pair in my bag, just never know when they'll be needed. More than once I've also balled them up and used them as a hasty rear bag.

It depends

When shooting a carbine I wear gloves mostly because the handguard gets pretty hot.

When I shoot clays I wear gloves to have a good grip with my right hand on the pistol grip and to keep my left hand from burning when opening the gun (over/under)

I don't wear them shooting bolt guns or handguns.
