Lightweight Gloves

Postby Archangel 06 » Tue Sep 20, 2011 4:38 pm

Alright, so I used to have a pair of super-lightweight, wind and water resistant unlined gloves that were perfect for all sorts of outdoor activities, including airsoft, shooting, photography, comms deployments, etc.

I can't find them... :(

So, any recommendations as to where to get some new ones? I paid like 15 bucks for mine at REI on a closeout, and the last time I was there (about a week ago) I didn't see any.

Thanks for the help.

I've had good luck with mountain biking gloves in general, because of the slight armor on the back of the hands to deflect brush. Also, I had good luck with a cheap pair of mechanix gloves. They weren't specifically waterproof or windproof, but they worked well.

Try the OC Hardwear gloves (Mechanix). I have a pair of grey ones and a pair of black ones, and I like them better than my M-Pact II's. ~$15 at Home Depot.

Alright thanks for those suggestions. I will clarify a bit though that I am looking for less of a work/brush glove than a weather glove. I have snow gloves and work gloves and fleece gloves, but nothing (anymore) that is a nice lightweight glove.

Edit: I found them for sale in Santaland! (Canadia)
