Nomex Flight Gloves Military flight gloves nomex gloves olive drab Best leather aviator gloves and pilot gloves nomex

OK, here is the skinny....I have had a couple strokes, I have issues with not only arthritis in my hands, but with that, a noticeable uncomfortability when it gets cold.Someone had suggested I look into buying a pair of these. Man, am I glad I did!!! They really don't offer a lot of warmth when it is COLD, but I do notice that when I put them on, my hands don't seem to hurt so much. Maybe its in my head, but my understanding is that the leather strips on the surface of the gloves affect certain accu-pressure points in the hand. Makes sense when you think that the US Military designed these glove for their pilots, who are constantly doing repetitive hand motions every time the go up. And it is a known fact that repetitive motions are the groundwork for several painful conditions.Long story short..... I LOVE THESE GLOVES!!!!! So much, they became Christmas gifts for every one of my friends who I thought could benefit from them.I can assure you, I will never go through another day without having at least one pair in my possession (or at least close by)HINT: I wear a size 12 ring on my left hand. I ordered a size 11. They fit PERFECTLY.

I use to buy these from the National Guard PX at TYS until 9/11 screwed the pooch on the fun in aviation. It was just this year that I found these on-line. I wear these as a glove in cold weather for driving or as a liner when hiking in the winter months in the Great Smoky Mountains. They fit well and if you get them 11 or so inches they will keep lower arm warm tucked under your sleeves. These are there real deal and smartly priced.

The only complaint with the gloves is you cant fasten them to a perfect fit but other than that they are great. Sizing can be kinda odd as my left gloves fits slightly tighter than my right one but other than that the fit is good. The gloves offer good coverage and really good control when using fine parts on things like firearms and using keys and such. The gloves offer good protection while keeping the ability to feel around and I enjoy them. Pros - Great dexterity and movement along with grip and is at a good price and quality. Cons - Does not work well with touch screens and fit can vary based on glove, The gloves are not made for touch screen though so I am not really considering it a bad thing. The gloves do their job and are a good investment I will probably get a spare set in the future. 9/10 would recommend purchasing.

I was introduced to this style of flight gloves as a shooting glove last year. They were designed around dexterity, provide a little protection against wind and abrasion, but are still breathable enough to be used 3 seasons.The original pair I had were my grandfather's from the 70s, and they fit like...well.. glove. I could pick up seeing needles off a table wearing them the fit was so perfect.I bought these in the same size, expecting the same fit. While in every other way these are identical, the fingers are 1/8 - 1/16th too long. For my uses, they work perfectly, but you may not get the surgeon's glove fit you may expect.

While watching Blackhawk Down, my son saw the helo pilot's gloves and said he wished he could find a pair for himself. I found them on the Amazon site and purchased them as a Christmas present. They look well made and just like those in the movie so I think my son will be pleased. The seller delivered on time and at a fair price. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I have had a lot of trouble with flight gloves of the years, with the sizes being off and thumbs being twisted. I bought two pairs of these gloves to be safe. The fit on both is perfect, and both are constructed identically. Although the right thumb is a little twisted on both, it's not nearly as much as a lot of other flight gloves I've had, and not to the point where it causes any issues.The only downside is that I cannot use these gloves with a touch screen. I know they are not rated for touch screens, but flight gloves I've had in the past have always worked. Not sure what the difference is with these gloves (although the leather does feel a little thicker than other pairs I've had).

I bought these gloves to use while riding my motorcycle in warmer weather and also as a glove liner in cold weather. They arrived quickly and like others have noted are marked with what appears would come with items made for the military, a sort of "gloves, nomex, fire resistant" speak.The leather is blemish free and smoothly finished and the nomex fabric is mated to it by sewing which is first rate. The fit is spot on. I measure my hands according the the proper way and thus ordered a size 9. The palm, fingers all fit perfectly except as is often for me, the small finger is a little long. The fit snugly and when wearing them as a liner they fit in other gloves one size up nicely. By themselves they offer great dexterity.While the gloves are thin and as it probably not the perfect solution alone for riding motorcycles without paying a lot of money, finding almost perfect fitting gloves can be a chore. Coupled with a super lightweight glove used as the outer barrier with knuckle protectors these nomex gloves would offer the best of all worlds. As these gloves provide little bulk, using them as liners is easy.I like these so much I'm going to buy a second pair, this time in Olive drab as this pair is black.

Ordered size 11 since the only gloves that fit are all XXL. Fits like a L (arge), too short and too narrow, can get them on but can't bend my fingers. Not worth a dime below 35 degrees either, although that may be because of they cut off the circulation in my hands as they're so narrow. Thought maybe I'd be able to use them for walking the dogs, but no joy. Can't recommend these unless you're looking for driving gloves - BUT NOT for riding. I wouldn't rude with these unless it's over 60 degrees. And even then, the gauntlet portion isn't long enough and wouldn't go over the cuffs of my leather jacket either.
