Well-Suited for Paintball, and very durable (see edits)
Edit 11/28/22: Yet another update. Gloves are still going strong and will hit the two year mark this coming January. All seams and stitching are good. The edge is starting to curl up a bit on the end of one of the wrist straps, but still fits securely. These gloves have survived many Saturdays of paintball, including two tournaments, and the left one took another hard back of the hand hit just this past weekend. A fellow frequent player tried mine on for size and asked where he could get a pair. I'm still extremely pleased with them. Just wish they'd offer more colors.Edit 02/14/22: These gloves saved my hand last weekend. I ran up on an opponent and forced a surrender, coming over the top of his bunker. He was startled and reflexively squeezed the trigger, shooting me in the back of my left hand from about 2-3" away. The paintball struck me between my little and ring fingers right at the base. It stung and went numb for a few seconds, and I had redness and soreness there the rest of the day, but avoided bruising and had no broken skin. Without gloves, I would have suffered a painful injury. The raised, padded ridge along the back of these gloves absorbed most of the impact. I can promise I will not be caught on the field without them.Edit 11/17/21: After nearly a year of playing paintball in them on a monthly basis, I can report that these gloves have held up very well. After each day of play, they get tossed in a small mesh bag and machine washed with the rest of my clothing, after which they hang dry. Seams and endges are all good. No visible scuffing or fading. And they've even gotten easier to take off as I have broken them in more. I'm extremely pleased with them. The guys who pay more than twice as much for paintball-branded gloves are getting ripped off.Original review below:Got these to replace my trusty old neoprene gloves that I'd been playing paintball in for ages. I wanted half-finger gloves both for dexterity and better fit. I have slightly long fingers relative to the width of my hands, so it is difficult to find full-fingered gloves that fit properly in the palm without the fingers being a bit uncomfortably short. With half-finger gloves, I can size them correctly to my palm width and not worry about jamming my fingertips. I was looking for gloves that would offer good knuckle and back-of-hand protection without too much bulk, and these filled the role wonderfully.I played a full day of paintball in these (8 or 9 games over about 7 hours), including crawling on the ground and taking some hits to the hands. The gloves did their job with no obvious signs of wear (other than the brightly colored paint splatter, which will wash off). I felt the impacts to my hands but they did not really hurt and left no bruising. The palms are not overly padded, so I could still feel the contours of my gun's grip. The protective padding on the top/out side of the gloves is sewn in (or molded in), so the outer surface has a contoured but smooth feel (sort of like suede). For my purposes that is preferable to the knobbly rubber that so many other gloves have, which creates all these little crevices that are hard to clean. I rather prefer the understated look of these gloves compared to all the "tacticool" ones out there with big brand logos and chunky rubber or plastic knuckle guards. I'm not punching concrete walls or breaking windows in these gloves and I have no desire to pretend like I'm going to.What I most like about these:Again, the simple and understated look. Too many tactical/shooting gloves look like boot treads.There's a hook and loop adjustment flap across the back so you can adjust the snugness of the palm to your liking, which also makes removal a little easier.The wrist closure is a smooth nylon strap (like a seatbelt) that passes through a flattened ring/bar and doubles back on itself, so you can cinch it down tight.What I least like:These aren't the easiest to take off. They'd be perfect if they just included little straps or loops at the finger holes to help pull them off, as some more expensive gloves do. I tend to take my gloves off between games, but I started leaving these on because they were a bit fiddly to get off.I can't speak to the long-term durability. They've held up to one day of heavy use (including direct impacts) so far. Hopefully they'll hold up for many more.Photo credit: Southern Alabama Paintball

Best pair of tactical gloves I've ever owned
Touchscreen adaptive fabric has got to be one of the biggest upgrades I've had on gloves, ever. Not needed for the half index finger version which is what I bought, but a very "handy" feature none the less. Exterior pads protect your hands from minor to medium impacts which is perfect for airsoft and paintball/speedball. The overall feeling is snug and a little restrictive but with time and wear that shouldn't be a factor. The non-abrasive velcro was a great feature to the gloves which really wowed me the most. They fit over HK and Dye elbow pads with no problems. I played my first airsoft game with these and I barely even noticed they were on, but I sure was glad they were there when I got shot in the hands!Personal Note: I wanted my index finger free of interference when readying to fire. I have full finger gloves for paintball and range purposes but they never really worked well, especially for walking the trigger when you have a speedball marker. The no finger gloves I have felt like weight trainging gloves and didnt protect any fingers which got shot playing paintball.Overall, I can easily see me using these gloves for more than just airsoft, might just buy another pair since they're only 20 USD. Check the sizing chart for references if you're unsure of fit. Multiple different options and versions to chose from if you check out the Seibertron (Cybertron/Transformers refrence) Amazon Store front. A+ product, "hands" down!

Good quality. Took too long to ship
Very comfortable. Size chart on the listing was accurate. I can tell these are great quality and should last me a while. I’m not giving a full five stars because it took a very long time to ship.

Sensible and fit well
Great pair of gloves that keep your hands warm with effective grip and padded knuckles for security that are not hard but soft and will not get you in trouble if you have to interact with aggressors while still protecting your hands.Good pair of gloves for a doorman or outdoor securityThey fit to size and don't come baggy which would compromise ability to grip

Great Gloves
I like half fingered gloves for shooting. The pair Iv'e had for 15 years finally fell apart. So I thought I would give these a try. Iv'e ordered other xx-large gloves in the past and they are still small. These are actually kind of big on me. Finally a glove that fits me comfortably. Guys with big thick hands - these will fit you if you order xx-large. I'm going to order a x-large pair to fit me better for shooting and keep the xx-large as a backup.These gloves are very comfortable, easy to take off and well made. They should last a very long time if only used for shooting. If using them for yard work and other heavy duty projects they should still last a couple of years. I did not buy them for that. I have big hands (not thick palms and fingers) just big hands. The xx-large is for really big thick hands, finally a glove for men that is sized correctly. Buy a pair you will be happy with them.
