I think the too-long pinkiesa re a common thing. A lot of off the shelf gloves are sized based on the middle finger, and the rest of them are averaged from there. I recently picked up a pair of ECC gloves (came out after this video) that are made of kangaroo leather and FR material. They're super durable, will probably last you the rest of my life with proper leather care, and I can even handle a hot suppressor with them without it burning me, albeit very briefly. They have a wider range of sizes to choose from, but they still have a bit of slop on the pinky.

My first pair of gloves was one of those Oakley hard knuckle one, so I subbed immediately when you call me out :D Very informative video dude!

Been wearing outdoor research gloves for most of my career and I really love them. They also have the phone finger and thumb and I use a sensor pair with a leather palm which is really amazing dealing with machine guns as they are quite hot and I seem to touch the hot more than I should

Had to subscribe 😂. They had them at the range and I kinda liked them. Now all I wear is Pigs too. Love em

I tested a few gloves and now use the mechanix recon.
All mechanix gloves fit my hand really well.
Before I used the pursuit with cut resistant, but Ive come to the conclusion, that having more dexterity and feel in the hands for patting down ppl is more important and relevant than the rare event of grabbing into a knife.

The recons have a thin leather on the inside, fit snug and the standard mecanix ventilated upper material. Only thing I would improve is adding a light padding for the knuckles.

I always wanted to try the PIGs, but here in europe their too expensive for working gloves I have to replace every 1 to 1 1/2 year or so.
Mechanix are readly available and tho the recons are expensive mechanixs, there are sales for them.

One of the best gloves for desterity ive ever tried were the First Tactical Slash gloves. Anti Cut, super light and very good for shooting

Didnt know you had a youtube channel 🤘🏻

[andrewdougherty]

What gloves would you recommend for searching? Preferably with good dexterity and at least puncture resistant.

[sneekisquirrel]

Would you consider developing gas mask pouches for barricade/ active shooter stuff?

[stevenlawrence]

What glove for cold weather and needle and knife cut protection?
