Tactics Nomex or Sealskin, shooting you won't be allowed wear them on the firing point during competition.
If for range practises etc, pair of fingerless cheap leather do the job, usually can pick them up in Mi surplus places for a bout a fiver.
Aldi and lIdle often do gloves for Cycling fishing etc that would meet your needs.
Aldi currently have some in its WiGiG range.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Had no problems wearing them on the range for competitions myself
I went on to argue should I also remove my thermal underwear and socks which I doubted anyone else was wearing and certainly wasn't on issue.
I lodged a complaint against the referree which my OC commanding shot down as he believed that the complaint would put the unit in a disadvantaged situation should we come in contact with smae referree again....
I was informed the same night that I had been promoted to sergeant, obvioulsy my reward for not pushing the matter, but from that point on, my enthusiasm for fairness in open competition and faith in even my own CO was 'tarnished' to say the least.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Originally posted by Seanachie View PostShooting competition at all army level I was ordered by the referree to remove the gloves as I would have an unfair advantage over anyone else had the weather become cold..it did...and my gloves were not on issue and therefore should not have been worn. Second leg of the comptition...and we were winning..agenda?

That sort of stuff makes my blood boil.

the nomex style gloves are very good especially on summer days , the ones like swiftandsure recommend would be more to my liking as they offer a better trade between the robustness of leather and the feel of the nomex style ,
the nomex style are not particularly thorn / gorse proof either"take a look to the sky right before you die, its the last time you will"

Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
