Yeah, I'm looking for a new pair of gloves. Given that my current shooting gloves are the only gloves that fit me well, I use them for EVERYTHING. I feel bad putting non-gun use through them (especially since they aren't washable), so I want a new pair of work gloves. Problem is, I can't find anything that fits my criteria.

1. Full-finger. No compromise here.
2. Terrycloth back/thumb. Full back preferred.
3. Leather palm (preferred, not required)
and
4. Washable AND/OR
5. Easy-remove finger loops

Shouldn't be hard to find something with so few requirements, but I've been searching for a couple hours now and I haven't found a single pair. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ironclad gloves. I think they're what you're looking for. I wore the Tac-Ops, the most reasonably priced tactical gloves ever. Can also find them at Surplus stores or Home Depot.

Actually, the Ranchworx and Tac-Ops came up in my search, and they were the closest to what I wanted. They do fall into the categories listed above, but I'd rather wait and see if something better comes up.

They do fall into the categories listed above, but I'd rather wait and see if something better comes up.I wore the Tac-Ops for about two years. Terrycloth thumb, leather palm, breathable fingers, and washable.

It's a nice pair of gloves, and I used them for everything from shooting to digging a grease pit. Cheap enough you don't feel bad doing stuff like that either.

Yeah, I'm using a pair of $100 WileyX tactical gloves for s**t like 'heat protection' and 'carrying things'. I kind of want something cheap that I don't feel like I'm not getting what I paid for out of it. Also, I've sweated into the Wileys so much that they're stiff and permanently look like there's a hand in them.
