Matt's leather field gloves, and the feel they keep.
Why we picked this
Matt Gehrmann wears the Final Rise Field Gloves, from the maker of his Summit XT vest. What he really likes is "how much tactile feel you still have" through them. This page used to call them the Upland Glove; Final Rise sells them as the Field Gloves.

The full review
Final Rise makes the Field Gloves with goatskin palms and deerskin backs, cut close to the hand for dexterity, with a touchscreen-capable index finger and thumb and a short cuff that leaves room for a GPS watch, according to its product page. Sizes go by the measurement around your palm: 9 inches for a medium, 10 for a large, 11 for an extra-large.
Feel is what Matt likes about these.
Final Rise listed them at $95 when we checked and showed them as unavailable, so check stock before you count on a pair. For a cheaper glove, SKD Tactical's PIG FDT Alpha is $49.95.
What we love
- Feel: "how much tactile feel you still have," in Matt's words.
- Touchscreen fingertips on the index finger and thumb.
- A short cuff that clears a GPS watch.
What to know before you buy
- $95, about twice the price of SKD's Alpha.
- Check stock: Final Rise showed them as unavailable when we checked.
