US vehicle crew combat gloves, leather/Nomex, surplus

Aviator gloves quickly found their way to decorate the hairy hands of the ground troops as well. These are specifically meant for vehicle drivers. An old but still very functional design.

Aviator gloves quickly found their way to decorate the hairy hands of the ground troops as well. These are specifically meant for vehicle drivers. An old but still very functional design.

A carbon copy of this glove has also found its way to the use of German armed forces. Since the only difference is some text on the inside, we won't separate them from each batch. They are externally the same after all.

During the Vietnam war they came up with a pair of silly good aviator gloves with the grippier side made of leather and everything else of fire retardant Nomex. This meant the gloves did not melt on the pilot's hands if the plane caught fire. Needless to say, a pair of light, dextrous gloves weren't good only in the cockpit, so they were a coveted piece of gear among others as well. Naturally similar gloves were a bit later made for ground troops as well.

On the palm side these are made of leather from the wrist to the tip of each finger. The leather on the palm gives superb grip and dexterity. The back of the glove is made of fire resistant Nomex. Gloves are kept firmly in place by elastic straps on the wrists. Long cuffs offer protection from small cuts and scrapes.

Perfect stuff when good handling is needed. Working with small bits and pieces poses no problem (e.g. vehicle parts, guns, and such). However for demanding and continuously abrasive work use these are not meant for - everything is a compromise, these offer great dexterity and grip, but not the same kind of toughness that thickest work gloves give.

Size info

Sizes according to user's palm circumference in inches, as is usual with gloves. Measure yours like shown here. Easy size in the brackets.

Condition

Used but in serviceable condition. Being a military issue, they do have some wear to them. Might not be original pairs, but the same size anyway.

A viable alternative for German combat gloves

Compared to the German Bundeswehr leather/nomex combat gloves, these don't have the knuckle reinforcement but the leather itself is just a bit thicker.

These are by far and away the best driving gloves I've had since spending twice as much on a pair of OMP karting gloves back in the day. Fantastic for driving (duh) and really just about anything else. Not the thickest of course, but still very warm with the extra long cuff.
Don't believe the "Do Not Wash!" instructions, I soaked mine in a Dettol laundry wash for 30 mins then rinsed thoroughly, dabbed with kitchen towel and dried off in our boiler cupboard. The leather suffered a bit, but was quickly restored with some Aveeno handcream (non greasy and works into the leather very well).

Got the Bundeswehr equivalent of these. Minus half a star because the pair I received was quite well-worn. Very comfortable gloves, hard wearing and dexterous! Not to mention fire resistant!

Oli paikattu sormista jo minulle tullessa ja intissä tetsatessa sain pari sormea auki lisää melko pienessä ajassa. Sen kuukauden mitä kestivät, niin olivat kyllä toimivat ja mukavat!

Not sure if this is still true, but the leather used to be goat skin, very soft yet tough. I always wore them folded down, very long cuff on these. and these are not for cold weather. Great gloves, and they have pretty good stretch if your between sizes and want a close fit. Great for shooting gloves too.

Aivan jukopaskaa. Pakko tästä on avautua. Nää oli meiän palvelushanskat intissä 2022. Ei pidä vettä, imee kosteuden maasta, ei koskaan kuivu.
Varus(varasta)molla oli laatikollinen vanhoja intin puutarhakäsineitä hankintahinta 0.7 euroa ja pidin niitä aivan rehellisesti, objektiivisesti parempina kuin näitä 20 eur vastineita.
Puutarhakäsineet kun ainakin koittivat pitää vettä, ja vissiin olivat edes jostain polyesteristä ja tekonahasta. Nämä ovat kangasta ja nahkaa, eli sienet.
Hanskat menee vähän väliä rikki, asetta ladattaessa useimmiten repeää nomexista. Varusvarastamolla on aina sääli vaihtaa uusiin kun hanskoihin on tullut pieni reikä. Ihan käsittämätön rahantuhlaus. Oma mentaliteetti on että hanskan pitää kestää tai hylkiä vettä oli mikä oli. Ei helvetissä imeä sitä. Toi nomexi on aivan kuraa, suosittelen polyesteriä.
Varmasti ovat paremmat jos aiot sulattaa nämä käteesi nuotiolla tai kamiinaan kiinni, ja varmasti ovat mukavat ajohanskat, mutta kukaan ei käytä näitä metsässä. Ehkä pari varusmiestä, ei kukaan alikki, eikä helvetissä yksikään kokelas.
Mukavat kuivana, suojaa hyvin rannetta, mutta ei maasto-olosuhteisiin tarkoitettu. Yhtä hyvät sorminäppäryyteem kuin puutarhanskat. Hankkikaa kalvolliset motonetistä samalla hinnalla jossa on lumihiutaleen kuva. Kuivat ja lämpimät talvikäyttöön. Hanskan ei tarvitse olla mallia ja kokoa PV:n rukkanen ollakseen lämpimät, täytyy vain pitää vettä. Pieni hiki hanskan sisällä ei ole mikään ongelma, hanskan ei tarvitse omasta kokemuksesta hengittää. Alleviivaan, että Nomexit ovat talvella aivan helvettiä, sekä märässä tai kosteassa metsässä. Hankkikaa vedenpitävät hanskat (ei kuitenkaan kumirättejä). Kesällä kuivalla nomexit on ihan jees, mutta ei hintansa väärtti. Yksikään puutarhahanska ei ole vieläkään mennyt rikki, samaan aikaan olin palauttanut ainakin viidet nomexit varusvarustamolle.

Käyttötarkotukseensa soveltuvuus:

Ajohanska:
PV rukkaset: (ajokolari)
Nomex käsine 10/10 (rallimiehii)

Mutta huudetaan Lipasta!
Nomex hanska (otan hanskan pois)
Kuka lipastaa hanska kädessä?

Sota
Puutarhahanskat 8/10 (Aina mukana)
Nomex käsineet 3/10 (Löydät nämä kaapista)
Motonet kalvolliset 8/10 (Sotilaalla on aina mukana yhdet märät, ja yhdet kuivat hanskat.)

Sota talvella
PV rukkaset 11/10 (Kuolee vuoksesi)
Puutarhakäsineet 4/10 (nyt ne kädet pois sieltä taskusta!)
Motonetin kalvolliset 11/10 (Valkoinen kuolema)
Nomex käsineet 1/10 (dogshit maister. Lääkintämies: "Amputaatio keikka." Nämä jätetään viholliselle sabotaasi-mielessä.)
Varustelekan merinovilla alushanskat + Motonetin kalvohanskat 99/10 (tykkimies nönnönnöö, te varmaan viihtyisitte niissä vänrikin tehtävissä)
Paljas käsi 5/10 (Kersantti: "Kuka on hän, kun hän kulkee paljain käsin? Alikersantti: "Tuo on Korpraali Äijä, herra Kersantti. Äijä kova äijä"

Metsään meneville suosittelen hankkimaan vedenkestävät hanskat, lekan merinovilla alushanskat koleammalle kelille, sekä jotain vettähylkivää, joka ei ole kangasta. Esim puutarhahanskat, sillä ne suunnitellaan niin, että multaa kaivaessa eivät mene märiksi!

Has anyone tried these (or the BW variant) for use in traditional archery? They're obviously not purpose-made for that, but seem like a good option for traditional bow hunting.
