Flight Gloves

Post by Rhino » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:27 pm

I see everyone using those NOMEX gloves. Ive looked on ebay but can not find any big enough, I need like a size 11. Tired of getting really sweaty palms and tried batting gloves, and football gloves, but they just are too slippery. Any ideas?

I have never used the nomex, but have purchased a $19 pair if deer skin gloves from Home Depot that worked great. The were very soft material. Try that too if you like.

Cool, I've never thought of using gloves, I'm sure they'd work great. Tally a pair up on a Christmas wish-list :D .
