Get the Hellstorm SOLAGs, they are by far the best gloves I've ever owned. The fit is incredible and they're extremely durable.

I own the SOLAGs and LOVE them! You have an incredible amount of dexterity with them on. I find I hardly ever have to remove them when i wear them at the range. (doing things like loading mags-not from strippers, fumbling with sights/scopes, fooling with various small parts)
Also, heed what Blackhawk says about sizing! Print off the sizing chart they have and measure your hand, several times. These are seriously form fitting gloves! |

Have SOLAG, like it a lot. About the size of the gloves, if you generally wear large size, then order X-large, in other words, order 1 size larger. |

thanks all. i had some on order from Botach along with a hatch hood. they first told me the hood was on back order, so i told them to send gloves now and hood when they get it. well turns out they don't have any gloves for 4 to 6 weeks. what a bunch of jack asses. so i cancelled my order with em.
then i looked at lightfighter and see the hatch and am just wondering about which are better. I have decided to get the hellstorm SOLAG. I have taken the measurements several times, and am sure about the sizeing. :Þ thanks for the help all, and Botach sucks terribly grrrrr [:(!] [chainsawkill] |

I have the SOLAG's and the Navigunners..love them both...I ordered straight from BHI and rec'd the Navigunners first and the SOLAGs about a week later....heed the sizing thing...while the SOLAGs fit perfectly the Navigunners are not as tight as I would like and hopefully won't loosen up once wet...

I was watching Mission Impossible 2 tonight. Towards the end, when Hunt pulls the grenade out of his vest, you can clearly see that he's wearing Hellstorm gloves [:)]

Blackhawk products are now being made in Korea and soon to be in Vietnam.

Quoted: Blackhawk products are now being made in Korea and soon to be in Vietnam. Although I usually agree with your pro-globalization, one world government, one world economy, pro UN stance, I really think LilDew should choose his gloves based on fit and quality. Our support for our friends to the South East should not come at the expense of personal securtity. National security, maybe, but certainly not personal! |

Just following up on the subject. I did decide to get the Hellstorm gloves, and am very glad i did. These gloves are great, in fit, feel, and looks. I will be very warry of ever doing business with Botach again. But Lightfighter took care of me, shipped them ASAP. Lightfighter is a great store, and all of you should shop there and buy stuff, like me. [;)]
Thanks for all the help! [:)] |

A day late and a dollar short but..I use Hatch Friskmasters at work and have gone through a pair a year. The leather they use is very thin and wears out rather quick. Although the leather isn't the part that makes then cut proof, it does come in handy for stopping or reducing liquid from getting on my hands. I usually wear latex gloves under them when searching and always when dealing with blood,etc.
