You see your gloves on screen every round, even more than your knife. And the cheapest pairs cost less than many AK skins. Here's which gloves you can get from about $25, which models are worth it, and which wear to pick so you don't overpay.

Cheapest price for every glove model
- Hydra Gloves — from $25.5

Which wear to pick on gloves
- Field-Tested is the best choice. Wear on gloves is barely visible in game, and the gap to Minimal Wear can be 2–3x.
- Battle-Scarred works on dark finishes. On black, green and camo gloves scuffs disappear, saving another 10–30%.
- On light and bright gloves (Overtake, POW!, Vice) wear shows more, so stay at FT or better.
More on float and wear in our FT, MW and BS guide.
How to match gloves to your knife
Pick gloves to match your knife, not the other way round: there are fewer cheap knives in each color. Green knife — Hydra Gloves | Emerald, red — Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red, blue or purple — Hydra Gloves | Case Hardened. See ready-made pairs in the cheapest knives and gloves for Doppler by phase.
In the builder, pick a color and budget and Skinset will match gloves, a knife and every gun in one palette.
