It was the only place in town I could find them in my size and it was years ago before they "woke". I don't shop there anymore.
Do you wear gloves?

I’d try a pair if I could try them on first. If they’re not nice and tight I’d never wear them.
There is a 5.11 store near me. I wonder if they’d have them there where I could try a pair.
Generally I avoid 5.11. I know you LEOs like them, but I think they’re overpriced for my needs. I also have no desire to look like a cop. Which if you are wearing 5.11 pants you look like a cop.

Hatch brand ultra thin leather search gloves are also really good. I always carry a pair in my back pocket on duty when I have to pat down and or search someone but they're not cheap but I can say they do hold up... Just my two cents....

I still have a pair of those I used for duty years ago. Not much tactile sense but good for warding off cuts and needle sticks. Do the new ones let you use a screen?

Somewhat tactile to use a screen but the First Tactical brand thin patrol gloves I find are the easiest to use touch screens with...

Glad to hear they work for you. I tried on several different models in different sizes, as I liked them, but just couldn't get the right fit and feel for my hands. When buying gloves, I gotta try them on due to odd size hands, especially for pistol use.

I am fussy about fit as well. Ever since I was a young officer I bought my gloves a size too small and stretched them while wearing. My test is whether I can pick up a dime from the table while wearing them.

Quick story about a pair of my gloves. My dad, my friend and I packed up Don's truck to head the 4 hours north to our hunting cabin.
When we got there I walk around to the back to drop the tail gate and there on the rear bumper sit a pair of my deer skin gloves. I must have sat them there while loading and forgot to pick them up.
They sat on the bumper of that truck going down the freeway at 70 mph and all the other bumpy roads and dirt trails for four hours. I was amazed...

Back in the day I wore sap gloves on certain calls and to day I wear leather with cut proof liner as I am a bleeder and my hands have had enough damage to them and there are already enough scars

Oh yes, I carried a PR24, Big Tex slapper, and sap gloves to fight calls and calls to the wilder honky tonks. It's a different world today.
