CuLane Wednesday, November 15th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 3 months 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Evil '06 Gloves - More comfortable, significantly so, and the Dye's aren't uncomforatable at all. Marker Setup: SP Impulse - 14" SS Freak Back Blue Freak Front, CP Rolling Trigger, CP Clamping feedneck, LPR, Crossfire 68/4500, SP Chrome drop/on/off. Stock .45 VSC Phantom. Spyder Imagine w/J&J S2 14", Evo II z-board, T-Board with eyes and 18-gram switch. Strengths: Durability, style, padding. Weaknesses: The sensi-touch fingers and cost. Review: The gloves are good. They're durable, they match the dye line of jerseys. I don't know WHY Dye keeps putting the rubber nubs in the fingers. Any tourney player wearing Dye gloves cuts them off, most tourney gloves are cut for the trigger fingers anyway, but these things are ridiculous. I'm using '06 Evils and I like them better, and they cost less. Conclusion: They're good, but probably not worth the cost. Some of Dye's products are, but in this instance you're paying a lot for the name. A 9 for function, a 5 for cost/benefit ratio. Rating: 7 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

JEDerrick Wednesday, March 16th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 5 of 5 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Dye C4 Empire Marker Setup: Black Karnivor w E2 Grip, Halo B w/Rip Drive, Pure Energy 68/3000 HPA, Karner Barrel Strengths: Ventilation Fit Padding/Grip Comfortable Weaknesses: Price Review: Once again Dye has proved themselves at another great product from their 05 line. First and foremost I have found these gloves to be great when it comes to ventilation. Sweaty hands are something I think no player wants. The padding and grip are well designed and well thought out in the gloves. The padding provides that all so needed protection for our delicate fingers, knuckles, palms. There is nothing worse than a stinger on the hands. The grip gives you a tight control over your marker while still allowing you the freedom of movement when needed. No drops with these puppies. The overall fit of the gloves are nice. They don't bunch up at the fingers like some do, or leave that annoying extra finger material at the tips. A good solid comfortable fit. The gloves themselves are great when it comes to how durable they are. I'm a fairly rough player at times,and being able to know that my gloves will stand up to hard slides, and bumps I take is good. The only problem I have experienced is the inability to walk my cocker. With the padding and grip it can make it difficult to walk a trigger as fast as you could without wearing gloves. Many people cut of the first two fingers down to the knuckle so that they can. Yet at the price they are listed at, I know I am not! Last is just the looks. Pure eye candy folks. Coupled with the rest of the 05 line from Dye, it gives any player that pro streamlined look. Conclusion: Another great 05 product of the Dye line.

nerdcore Thursday, January 13th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: baseball gloves tactical gloves IronClad carpenter gloves Marker Setup: WGP 2k3 Vertical Cocker AKA Sidewinder reg Equation 12" Bizerk barrel APM Tigershark bolt Hybrid Mini Savier Drop (MSD) Hybrid Grind Empire Reloader Crossfire 68/4500 Strengths: Ergonomical Padded Ventilated (sweaty hands suck) Well made overall Weaknesses: Price Review: Personally, i'd rather wear cheaper gloves. But the problem is i get hit in the hands a lot so i wanted gloves with more back padding. I didn't want to prevent breaks, persay, those hits just hurt! The baseball gloves have no padding at all (nicest fit, though). The tactical gloves have a ton but are too bulky. The carpenter gloves are the nicest of those three (open index & middle fingers & snug fit) but the only padding is the IronClad insignia on the back of the hand. I went to my local shop (i feel compelled to support them) looking for a pair of Proto gloves. All out! They had a pair of Dye '03 gloves still but they didn't fit (they were cheap, too). None of the C4s fit either, so i was left with only the C5s. Picked them up, tried them on, then went to the register. The fit is nearly flawless. Right out of the package, they take the shape of a human hand at rest. Padding is all along the back & vented mesh between the fingers helps them stay dry. Oh how i hate having to put my hands into some icky, sweaty gloves after lunch. There's reinforced padding at the base of the palm for all the hands-out sliders. Rubberized grip on the fingers helps the wearer grip their marker. Conclusion: If you can't find any C4s (since they're just as nice as the C5s) chip out the extra couple bucks for a pair of these.

-Nick Sunday, September 3rd, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 6 months Marker Setup: Stock Ion... (For now...) Strengths: - Comfortable - Good ventilation - Nice fit - Great design Weaknesses: If any I'd have to say price. Review: These gloves are amazing, I got them in black/red and they look great, they're extremely comfortable and the ventilation gives you hands plenty of air, no one wants sweaty hands on the field. On top of that they fit amazingly... Just maybe price is a problem but I'd recommend these to anyone. Dyes done it again! Conclusion: Buy them Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

azndragon2222 Wednesday, June 7th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: Do football gloves count? Marker Setup: '06 PMI Piranha GTI 16" Smart Parts Progressive barrel ViewLoader Evolution II Shocktech SupaFly Bolt Flush Cocking Rod Thumb Adjust Knob Fireball Mountain Delrin Double Trigger Shocktech Low Pressure Chamber Shocktech On/Off Bottomline w/ Dropforward #1 Macroline w/ 2x 90' elbows ACI Bulldog 3 68ci/3000psi N2 Tank Strengths: Sensi-touch REALLY helps Durable Looks cool Weaknesses: Could use a little more venting Review: These are my first paintball gloves and at first i was suspicious about the sensi-touch inside the trigger fingers. but after a while, it really help me shoot somewhat. it'll feel funny at first but after the first breakout of these things, u'll love 'em. one problem is that it could added more or bigger vents. the microvents dont really cool ur hands down all that much, so expect some pretty sweaty hands after each session. Conclusion: With the new C6 gloves, these gloves should be priced down a bit (i got mine for $25). Get them while they last. Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

alpha-sphere Thursday, February 16th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 6 months Paintball Experience: 6 months Similar Products Used: 32 degrees Marker Setup: SP ION, Lucky Stage 5 dust black, Lucky stage 1 bolt, Checkit unimount black, VP Scythe trigger, CP long regulator dust black, Dye Sticky grips black, SP stainless freak kit 14" black freak tip, SP Qlock, Clippard QEV, T-board, Crossfire 68/4500, Empire reloader B with Shocktech drivecone. Strengths: - Looks - Padding - Ventilation - Grip Weaknesses: - Price - Velcro strip could be bigger Review: The C5 gloves are really good gloves. The padding is really good. I even had some bounces off of it. Way better padding then my 32 degrees gloves. The venting is great and it grips really good. The only downside for me is that the XL's are a bit too roomy. I dont have sausagefingers :P so when I dont cut the fingers there's a lot of rubbing between the materials when I walk the trigger. Conclusion: Buy it if you have the moeny for it. The padding is great! Rating: 8 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

wyvern Sunday, September 25th, 2005 Period of Product Use: 6 months Paintball Experience: 2 years Marker Setup: Tippmann 98 Custom, Dye Boomstick barrel 16'', 32 Degrees Coiled Remote Line, Harness (forgot which brand... oh well) Strengths: Durability Feel Fit Look Weaknesses: See Review Review: This glove works VERY well overall. It fits easy by a Velcro strap and it is very comfortable. Most importantly, it keeps your knuckles from getting shot! The glove is thick enough to absorb the shock from a knuckle shot! Sure better than having your trigger finger hurt the rest of the day! This glove is also easy to clean (if you don't clean it, it starts to stink REALLY BAD from all the paint absorbed on it!). The only bad part was that it made my fingers feel big. Because of this, the glove prohibits very precise motor skills, so you can't field strip with these gloves on. Maybe I got my glove one size too big? Oh well, these gloves are easy to take off and put on. Conclusion: If you need a glove, this has everything you would ever need, and then some! VERY recommended! Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

el.dorito Thursday, August 25th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: those $10 plastic "armor" ones empire bare hands Marker Setup: 05 prostock empire reloader 2 Strengths: Ventialtion Durability Protection Grips Small is actually small Weaknesses: Price Review: Finally some gloves that size "xtra small" isnt equivalent to the size of a pancake. I do not like the price, but after a certain traumatic experience, I need the best gloves (1st day pbing, got lit up all on the knuckles :-\ ) The grips inside the glove are very comfortable and stop the glove from moving around after a day of play, most apparel shows some sign of wear n tear, not these gloves. "Like new" to a whole new level. THe padding is great. I am finally getting some bounces off my bony hands. The comfort is so nice you hardly know you're wearing them. I still find them a bit constricting, as all full-finger gloves are, and it almost seems a shame to chop off the fingers of a $50 pair of gloves but oh well. Conclusion: Dye has been known to make the best (yet expensive) products, and lives up to their name with the C5 series. Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

theblingpunk12 Friday, July 1st, 2005 Period of Product Use: 3 months Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: dye c4 gloves (not as good) Marker Setup: vision impulse with freak barrel system and empire reloader b ALSO autococker 04' vertical with black magik reg, dye throttle 47cu 4500psi, empire reloader b (same one) Strengths: Ventilation Movement Grip Bounces good fit Weaknesses: Price Review: My teamses these gloves and they work great for all positions these gloves give excellent movement it does not feel like you are actually wearing a glove at all this is good grip, but when coupled with the dye sticky's it is too sticky and it is not easy to move your hands these gloves have some rubber padding in them so they catch bounces (who cares if it "hurts") lastly these gloves have a great fit to the hand and are very comfortable Conclusion: I would reccomend htse gloves for a team that is playing at a fairly high level, or if you have alot of money these are hte best gloves to buy Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

NCSpyderMAn Sunday, April 10th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 4 years Similar Products Used: the 03 core gloves-cant compare Marker Setup: Spyder Pilot/Empire Reloader/Crossfire 68/4500 fiber wrapped/'05 Rhino Cover/CIP Feed neck/Blue Stickies Strengths: Looks Movement Breathing Weaknesses: Price Review: Comfort- These gloves r extrememly comfortable!!!! Everytime you put them on the feel and stay cool. along the sides of the fingers and on the back of your had there is a mesh that keeps your hand from gettin hot. Another thing i found that was cool is that they gloves are made so that when u were them your fingers are comfortable curved a littlebit, which helps because that show they are most of the game. Function- The sensi-touch bumps ont the finger trigger are really great, i had to cut the fingers on my core gloves but not with these the little bumps help u feel the trigger alot better. its also very easy to move your fingers fast in these, which is a very good thing. Looks- Every year when Dye comes out wiht its new stuff i think it looks awesome and cant get any better, but it does and this year is no exception. dont judge them on pictures from websites, they r so much better looking in real life. Price- The only negative about these gloves, pbc was havin a sale and i got them for 40 instead of 50, which is still alot but at l,east i saved 10 bucks ( i also got 2 stickies for 10 bucks) Conclusion: If You need new gloves, get these there is nothing better out there, i tried on proto and empire grind gloves and they didnt feel near as good as these Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment
