Have been using leather work gloves for a long time. They are fine for a while but after being in the salt water get uncomfortable and fall apart.
Picked up a pair of GIRO Bravo Gel bike gloves, they have padding in the palm and the fingers cut off. Will see how they hold up after use. Have been looking at " tactical " gloves, but the good ones cost a lot and run small.
While at the Sports Authority saw a table full of Bounty Hunter detectors. SA is closing 140+ stores so there may be good prices when they get near the shut down dates. Everything was 10 to 15% off now, not great, may want to go back the last week when it gets down to " everything must go "

I had a pair of the Giro finger-less gel bike gloves, I used mine for biking. After 30 -45 days use, the gel started leaking through whatever was holding it in place. Took forever to get it all off the bike grips.

Thanks for the heads up on that.
