First Lite Shale Gloves Vs Kryptek Gunfighter Gloves

[wilkes]

Your pick and why?

Kryptek look like a better fitting glove to me. The leather reinforcement on the palm of the FL is probably much stronger.

Anyone have them and can share thoughts?

I have the shale hybrid and love them. Great glove for stalking, the leather palm has held up well for me. I like the cuff not having any kind of Velcro closure on it because my release still fits nicely with them on. My only complaint is that they don't hold much warmth and are thinner than they look. If it's in the 30's and I'm not moving much I'll usually use a liner glove with them. If I'm on the move they're okay down to the mid 30's or so. As for the kryptek glove, I can't say.

Thanks Mark. Would love to hear from someone on the Kryptek.

Shale gloves are my favorite glove, i find a lot of gloves make my hands clammy, but I think with the merino backing on these they breath a lot better. I didnt think they would be as durable as they are either, they are holding up great on their second season. When its cold ill just put on a thin merino liner underneath

I wish the FL glove didn't have that big ass pad I. The back of the glove. It was very uncomfortable for me after a while.

It shows the gunfighter gloves are all synthetic. If I were looking for that type of gloves I think I'd just go with some mechanix gloves. 60 bucks for a pair of gloves seems pretty high to me and I'm a big Kryptek fan. IMHO
