Half- fingered armored gloves. |
|
| Marker Setup: |
Silver M98 w/ sight rail, Tear Drop, vert. adapter, Taso RVA, and black coiled remote. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
-Protects your whole hand instead of just your palm.
-They look nice and don't stay dirty for long.
-Cheap for a brand name product.
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
-The dye is hard to wash off of your hands but is easy to get off the gloves. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The dye was really frustrating, but I found an easy way to wash the dye out. Soak the gloves in a water/vinegar solution for about an hour. There will be a little dye left and unfortunately, will get on your hands if it's raining or your hands sweat heavily.

| Review: |
I have used these gloves for over a year and they have been very durable the whole time. I have literally had them buried in cow patties and mud, soaked in icy water, and shot dozens of times. Being made of leather and a bit of soft insulation on the inside, they are comfortable, snug, and rather warm in cold weather. I played in below freezing weather with nothing but these gloves on my hands. And they never got cold. The leather also sheds mud, so I never have to clean mine after a long day of paintball. The mud can just be wiped off. The leather also protects your hands from getting scratched by brush or briers. These gloves are a servant for your hands, and you never have to give them a second thought. Just toss them with your gear after a day of paintball, and they'll be ready to go for your next game, good as gold. Very reliable, durable, and comfortable. Not to mention, they look kind of cool. Like out of a James Bond movie of something. They're black. (They just look cool to me!)
Except for one thing. The gloves have left a black dye on my hands from day one and it has NOT gone away. I have worn them dozens of times, and when I take them off, they always leave the back of my hands black, usually for several days. (I just finnished a game 5 days ago as I write this, and there is still black on three of my knuckles.) It is very noticeable and annoying. Nobody wants, and nobody should have to deal with wearing stain covered hands to school or work just for a pair of gloves. The dye doesn't come out easily and is a chore to clean. Still, I have lived with it and ignored it. Stains really don't bother me, personally.
So, if you let all the good qualities of these gloves show through, then the stains shouldn't matter. (I think it only stains after you get the gloves wet with water, paint, and sweat. |
|
| Conclusion: |
PMI Paintball gloves are durable, comfortable, and made of good materials. The only bad part is the dye that can stain your hands for several days. If that doesn't bother you, then get them. They won't let you down. If you don't want discolored hands after every game, then you might as well get some different gloves. But it will be hard to find ones that are as quality made. |

| Review: |
There a pretty nice for the price (I think I got mine for $12.99) but they dont really give you any protection against a incoming paintball, but are nice if your trying to get through brush and dont want to get scratches on your hands. I dont like the fact if you start swetting in them you get black crap all over your hands, im not sure what it is but it's anoying to have to wash off. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you just want a cheap pair of gloves or if your short on money these might be the gloves for you. But if you really want something nice you might want to spend the extra buck on something else. |

| Review: |
For more strengths, they are warm if you play in the cold, but at the same time they keep ur hands cool if it's hot outside, other peeps said that they had problems with dye in theirs, i've worned mine a lot and so far i haven't had any of dye but that might be a new design no idea. These glove sare great too, the pad on the back really works good, got shot didn't even hurt my hands ewre just a little tingly heh. Everythign is good !!
Except one thing: If your dumb like me, and one of the velcro things is tigher than the other don't try to stretch the leather, because it just pulls the stiches out after a while. |
|
| Conclusion: |
GREAT PRODUCT, PRICE, FOR ALL THOSE LOOKIN FOR CHEAP GLOVES THAT FEEL GREAT AND LOOK COOL CUS THESE LOOK BADAZZ IN THE BLACK JUST BUY THEM.!! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION |

| Review: |
Well I was looking for some new full finger gloves since I was sick of getting shot on the tips of my fingers when I wore my fingerless gloves. I mean you dont get shot theyre often but when it does happens it hurts. I bought these soley because I love the piranha logo on them. I have 10 piranhas in my fish tank they happen to my favourite fish so these work great for me. Theyre very comfertable and fit nice and snugly on me.
Edit: Ok ive now used them around 3 times and I already have holes. I am hard on my gear but it should have been more durable. I'm going to keep using em but i wouldnt buy another pair. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Work pretty good look nice but they rip easy and leave me hands black. So ill leave em at 5 for average |

| Strengths: |
Cheap
Can stop a paintball sting to a point. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I really haven't found anything wrong except for the padding started to fall off |
|
| Review: |
I like these gloves for the price and I know it seems unbelievable that nothing can be wrong with them at this price but they are just basic gloves. I have now upgraded to the Dye Core 03's and they are a lot better but you're also paying for a difference. Nothing wrong with the PMI gloves and they're great for newbies that can't spend the big bucks on cutting edge gear. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend these gloves for newbies but not for a pro player. The Dye Core 03's are better but like I said they are also quite a bit more expensive. |

|
| Review: |
The pirahnna gloves are great for a quick cheap pair of gloves that are easy to move in, but they also will stain your hands till you wash them a few times and arent padded on the outside of the fingers. Also they dont look to good unless your main colors are black and yellow |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent for the low-low price of them, but cannot stand with higher end gloves. |

| Review: |
their good gloves, the are well padded, and they cushion the hit. they also stain your hands after you take them off... you cant get it off for a couple of days. they are a little stiff when they come out of the box, but they get better when you wear them more. i cut off the fingers for increased air flow. |
|
| Conclusion: |
this is good, very durable and reliable. only bad thing is the stains. |
