    I'm trying the Eotac Vickers Duty gloves. I like them so far, but I need to shoot more with them before I feel comfortable endorsing them. I got them in 9 cadet, I feel like i could probably have gone 8 cadet as they stretch pretty well.

    Camelbak 'Fast Fit'

    +1 on Camelbak. They have the KISS factor of flight-style gloves (which I also love) and good durability/dexterity/bang-for-the-buck. They have served me well this past rotation in some of the most harsh conditions on the planet. I was paying $22, but found them here for CHEAP!

    I've found mechanix gloves to be the best in terms of price. I also have the Oakley SI assault gloves, they are good in terms of dexterity and also look cool. But they are a bit on the bulky side in my opinion. Hatch Operators are also good but pricey if you need to go the nomex route.

    I've been thinking about trying some of the Nike Pro gloves as well.
    I use these same gloves (black/grey/red) "Impact Pro" (@ $24.00)... however I carefully unstiched and removed the palm pads. They are perfect now....

    Mech Wear MPACT Gloves

    I used regular nomex flight gloves when I was actually carrying a gun every day. They developed holes quickly but were easily replaced.

    I stock these Mechanix Wear M-Pact gloves now and they seem to be fantastic and relatively cheap.

    I sell them for $32.67 plus have a 10% off coupon (STUFFMYSTOCKING) until 21DEC.

    Picked up some Oakley mountain biking gloves cheap($13-15 pair) from the Oakley Vault Store. They work great for a reasonable price.

    Nike ACG Thermafit gloves----they've got this pattern that's something out of spiderman on the palms===grippy. Not sure if I'm gonna use them in summertime---they're warm.

    I use the Camelback Max Grip NT with the gauntlets cut off. It's their version of the flight glove. I raided the supply section before my deployment.

    +1 what CXS said- The misplaced padding in so many of the palms in tactical gloves these days boggles the mind. You shouldn't be allowed to call them "tactical" if it isn't designed for gun handling. We are introducing a "tactical" glove designed for the shooter later this year. Till then, the best out there for the money imho is the Fastfit (both SW Motorsport and Mechanix) and standard flight gloves.

    Wiley X

    If you don't mind spending the dough (or have a unit/dept budget to support it), the Wiley X CAG, TAG and Hybrid gloves rock. Flame retardant, armored knuckles (removable in the hybrids), and thin goatskin leather palms/fingertips. Some of the best I've used so far. But pricey...

    The Wiley X Orion is bar none the best aviator glove I've worn to date.

    Protec makes some nice aviator style gloves. Don't know what leather they use but I like them better than the standard issue aviator gloves.

    Standard issue aviator gloves are also very good.
