Guys I was wondering what kind of gloves you guys wear, if any. I'm looking at the Mechanix M-Pact gloves in all black.
Thanks in advance,
Justin

I found that these work quite well. The second set works better in the winter time.

The kind of gloves you speak of are too big for police work. Originally Posted by JSam21

Only wear gloves when I'm touching someone bloody (and then surgical gloves). I bought two pairs of frisk type gloves, but the size just isn't right. Besides that I try not to touch anyone I don't have to, especially dirty homeless drunks and people with aids.

I would highly suggest that anyone that wears gloves on duty practice shooting (even qualifying) while wearing them.

I have Hatch search gloves (forget the model). They have spectra & leather, and go for about $40 or so. To keep warm I have leather gloves with thinsulate. To deal with aided cases I have the non-latex rubber glvoes. They're supposed to be a little stronger, and better at keeping stuff out.

Friskmaster are the best ones I have owned. It is hard to get the size just right, so I usually go and try on several pair before purchasing. Some guys order -send them back -order again and so on.

Hatch KSG500 Kevlar shooters. I can't find them on Hatch's site anywhere, but I LOVE THEM. I used to use the unlined specialists, but I found they didn't breath very well, due to the synthetics of the palm. These gloves don't offer quite the dxterity of the Specialist, but they DO offer a very thin Kevlar lined back of the and area, and I can still type on an MDT with em (I'm gloved up for 95% of my shift). They're pretty cut resistant. That's where it is ESSENTIAL to have the protection, as opposed to the palm (IMO). And they're not too expensive either...about $25 as opposed to $35+ for other ones.
