Mechanix FTW!
I picked mine up from crappy tire for 30 bucks. They have great dexterity and are built tough. Not to mention all the cool guys wear them |

For more protection, I use motorcycle gloves. Leather and armour.

Which Mechanix gloves model are you using?
I just noticed in the Canadian tire sales flyer pg 42 the Fastfit on sale 1/2 price for sat instore. Too bad about all that crazy lettering on the gloves though. Mechanix FastFit™ Gloves, Black Sale: From $9.99 Reg: From $19.99 Product #25-7086-8

I had operators for over two years than they fell apart in a matter of a week. Tips of the fingers just came apart. Awesome range gloves, but not so good in the field.
I picked up a pair of 5.11 gloves a few months ago and they're pretty good. Spent a few days filling sand bags with them and they held up great. The only problem I have with them is that the area between the thumb and index finger isn't reinforced like the operators, so it is starting to come apart.

I wear these ones.
I used to use nomex flight gloves, but they don't seem to last very long. |

Not Eye Safe, Pretty Boy Maximus on the field take his picture!

So Hellstorm Fury seems to be the best reviewed glove eh?
I use the Rothco flight gloves because it's what I could pick up at the time, they just fall apart after a while, if you get a good pair that lasts the season consider yourself lucky lol |
