In two decades of service, you get a lot of crap issued to you. Here are just about all the gloves the Army has issued to me.
I've been using Bundeswehr version of those thin leather/nomex gloves for years for all sorts of outdoor use. Good compromise and excellent for handling open fire and hot pots and pans. Upgraded last year to US Masley gore-tex gloves and those are awesome! Bought also those winter flyers gloves but they turned out to be too narrow around finger tips and as a result colder than the basic Bundeswehr cold weather gloves. EDIT: So what I have now is what you showed around 07:10, but as far as I know they are fire-resistant according to Masley. They are made of nomex and goat leather and the liner is non-melt too. They are not rated for FIRE FIGHTING which of course is a completely different thing.
Thanks! Yea my second pair actually has an FR tag in it
love your videos, always can find informations i need! keep up the good work!!
Love your channel and thank you for your service
I used Oakleys SI factory pilots when I was in the singapore armed forces as a rifleman. Here they only issue crappy leather weightlifting gloves that have good padded palms but exposed fingers and knuckles. Cant recall the number of times the knuckleplates on my oakleys prevented bone exposure.
Anyway good video bro, cheers!
Awesome video brother! That's really interesting seeing the evolution of the gloves that have been issued. Even though you were being shipped all over like an Amazon package the positive is you scored lots of new issues...right on ✊🏻↕️ Those NBC gloves would go great with my gas masks and other obscure gear. If no one else is interested in those I could make use of them. Take care!
I know man, and for just about every pair of gloves, I have 4 different uniform patterns and all the other shit along with it.
I’ve got a pair of those nomex winter flyers gloves, they work ok, if there was a thin liner for them they would work better at keeping your fingers warm. But they are comfortable, and bulky. Very cool video brother.
thanks dude! I like em. They work for me hiking, camping, and working, because they're just warm enough while I'm moving around and I still have dexterity with them. Once I am sitting for a while, I go to mittens.
Love the intro 👍 one of the best in the business I've seen yet🇺🇸
Thanks man!
I have the arctic mitts. They get used for a LOT of stuff. Fat biking,winter camping, in the car for emergency use....they are incredibly warm,durable and easy to launder.
Third winter coming up and they're still going strong.
I use them heavily in the mountains
I have the ECWCS mittens too, for when it get's really cold out and I have some knock-off Nomex gloves that I like because of the dexterity. Would like to get the real military fire resistant ones for camping and bushcrafting. Cool gloves you got there. I have some of the wool fingerless gloves that I like a lot and bring camping all the time. And they're good for smoking a cigarette in cold weather.
In 94 the Navy issued those same gloves. The black leather and wool. I’m sure I still have mine packed away in my sea bag.
I had a pair of flyers gloves for 10-12 years. Sent my son out to rack and he ruined them. Oh well, time to get some new ones.
This mittens are super warm.
The Outdoor Research gloves and mitten they give out are super.
Great, i love gloves have a bag fall around 15 pairs lol. a nice pair of merino wool inner gloves, from platoon an army store in Rochester kent. Along with a nice webtex thermal top.
I have bought 2 pairs of those Extreme Arctic N4B Mitts, The ones you pictured are the USAF Flyers Mitts with the extra large Cuffs made to fit over the N3B Parka made by Alpha or Greenbriar etc, If you get a pair of wool thinsulate gloves to wear as a liner to wear with them you won't expose your hands to the Cold if you have to take off the Mitt, Those Mitts were worn in temps down to -61*f and below according to the US ARMY Training Video's here on YT, Thanks for posting the Video, great info, and don't forget to add some cheap pair of those Wool Thinsulate gloves from Amazon to go with those N4B's.
I dig that Nintendo DS background music lol
Mega man 3 coming in hot!
Where can we find the RIF Leather Combat Gloves (Orange Ones) you featured?
It's RFI - rapid field issue. They're actually sage green. Mine are just that worn 🤣 here's one place to get them. You might be able to find them on eBay for cheaper

@Grunt Proof , what unit were you in in baumholder? I was Aco 2-6 2004-2007. I think I recognize the guy who did the rifle inspection in the TUS rifle inspection video. It's been a while and I haven't kept in touch with anyone from back then.
Wow man, I was 3rd Platoon, same unit, for the same exact time period.....freakin Assassins!
2d platoon. So you were at fob blue diamond then in 2005-06. Living in that perimeter guard tower. This is crazy how small the world is.
I'd like to see you try cold weather gear issued to other branches and compare it to Army. Personally, I think the waffle tops are far superior to that XGO stuff the Air Force gets.
I've been burning through alot of gloves. Everything from harbor freight/walmart and the such. Finally ended up finding some of the army combat gloves and man they really are awesome. Besides the velcro becoming unusable from fraying away the gloves themselves are holding up to heavy use. Nothing beats actual leather, and they're very dexterous at that as well. Haha can see how they heled up so well for you as they are for me as well.
I still use mine, after 17 years
@@GruntProof Right on! Also see you starting your day early as well (assuming), lets get after it!
The first ones I got issued when I joined 3 years ago
2:48 is there a specific link to those gloves or a recommended site to purchase them?
search for "nomex flyers gloves"
First Cool stuff bro!
Are all the gloves size medium???
They vary because army sizes did over the years. When I first came in everything was over-sized, but now they've adjusted to standard sizing
@@GruntProof hmm I wear a size large glove 10 probably in numbers...
Someone should make a thick pair of gloves, with a thin pointer and thumb
Id like a pair of those issued impact gloves you have if you can spare a set
Army combat gloves, green
This is awesome
Dare I a say, you've got your hands full when it comes to gloves?🤣
What does the army issue for eye protection? You should do that one next. I know Oakley has a military/law enforcement discount, but did you get issued some sweet shades?
I've got a bunch and one of the pairs will be up for the surplus giveaway. 👍
@@GruntProof 👍👍
I picked up the old black 'work' glove and wool insert long ago, and they are miserable. Even the leather glove alone is uncomfortable.
And those were what we wore for a long time 😂
can you give a name and what to search for on the black glove you are holding at 6:08
Sorry, they aren't around anymore
@@GruntProof i have a few questions, 1: what are the best gloves in your opinion for using an ar15 in 10-25 degree f, wet weather?
2: what are your thoughts on these gloves, when I google "gi cold weather gloves, these pop up: shop.opticsplanet.com/hwi-gear-cold-weather-combat-glove-berry-compliant.html?_iv_code=HWI-GL-CWCGB-5264&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvbiBBhD-ARIsAGM48bwrWWT4NBncYqsoD7savBd1VFov6_LH90kuyicDZtdNGHpEyVbtHxEaAl_TEALw_wcB
3: I just ordered these after watching your videos: www.fortbraggsurplus.us/Cold-Weather-Flyers-Glove_p_3198.html
usually i wear 2xl gloves, but all they had was xl, will they be too small? can I wear GI wool liners under these too meet my above conditions?
Thank you.
I haven't used the winter combat gloves. The winter flyers gloves are awesome but tight fitting. Indoube you'll be able to fit a liner in their. They are great for shooting and dexterity
@@GruntProof will they be too tight to wear since i ordered xl but i usuallt wear 2xl gloves?
Maybe. Mil surplus items are usually oversized though. You can always return them
Who in the fuck would want MOPP gloves? I spent days in those hot charcoal impregnated suits with my mask working 12 hours shifts followed by 12 hours in a shelter. You would pull off the gloves and dump a cup of sweat out of each one and then you where left with a pair of wet hands that take forever to dry
