Almost two weeks ago, I went to the Insight Interactive indoor Airsoft field in Rancho Cucamonga, California. A very accurate opponent was able to hit my exposed fingers, wearing Saranac Rip II Gloves, from across the field. The welts lasted a week and a half. I decided that I am a wuss and no longer want to expose my fingers. So I ordered the Matrix Terminator CQB Combat Tactical Full Finger Gloves (medium size, black color) from Evike. It arrived as shown in the photo below.
As you can see, they showed up on my doorstep as Valken Tactical Gloves. They looked just like the photos on Evike's site. So I'm guessing the gloves are the same, but the branding are different.
The back of the gloves are layered with plastic armor (see photo below). A bit of spacing is provided to cushion the BB's from the inner layer. Almost the entire back hand is covered.
The inside of the hand is also thickened with suede fabric. It seems that it can handle the BB's when you try to raise your hand to call yourself out.
Because of the thick fabric, these gloves makes your hand very big. Trying it with a M4 rifle, I found that the index finger fills the trigger well. Sometimes the layered fabric at the finger tip will catch on the trigger well. But at no time did that prevent the finger from entering the trigger well to pull the trigger.
