Nylon or Leather Gloves

[Vic 0]

I use Nylon. Not sure why, I just like the feel and look.

Not sure what the benefits or pro's of choosing one over the other would be (breathability? feel? etc...)

I prefer Nylon even though I use leather :(

I prefer the look of leather but I like the feel and weight of nylon.

Nylon for sure. There is little to no break in time, it dries out quickly, the nylon gloves dont stick to glass, they are alot lighter, and i think it looks better.

Ye I guess they are lighter, although, I never really noticed. Hmm Or did I?

Also little to no break in time = Very true

I feel disenfranchised. I use CCM Vector 4 gloves, which are a combo makeup

Never had full leather gloves. Started with Pallas, am now using Sherwood 9950's which are also a combo. (although mostly nylon, just a strip of leather)

i haven't used nylon since my first ever gloves when i was lil. am i missing out? i may like the look of leather enough to suffer for the vanity of the weight.

Nylon all the way...

Lighter, look is better and I find nylon gloves are more flexible.

Nylon. Lighter, less water retention and easier to break in.

You just need to make sure you get good nylon gloves. Getting some junkers just because they are nylon does no good. For instance, the Vapor XXX, and One90 are two good nylon stock gloves. If you want to go all out, order some custom Eagles, or TPS nylons.

Nylon FTW

Nylon. I think the last time I used leather was back when 1350s were around. I picked up leather Eastons and still can't get used to them but I'll soldier on.

I voted leather....my first few pairs of gloves were nylon...but once I tried leather I never went back.

To me it looks better and feels more....solid, for lack of a better word.

I prefer nylon.

After using mostly leather most of my life I picked up some PR Supreme 5000 gloves and they are lighter and more comfortable and breath better. Like butter.

Breathe like butter? Thats a new one ;)

I find the leather gloves just feel more substantial. I don't know why that's important to me, but it is.

It's also probably a historical thing; Gretz etc. used leather when I was growing up, my Dad had leather gloves, so I like leather.

I love the look and feel of leather. While nylon is a lot more flexible, i still would choose leather. I am currently using a combo glove and love it.

I prefer the nylon gloves for flexability more than anything. I cant tell much of a weight diff.

[TBLfan 25]

Most top end gloves, leather or nylon are nice and fit everything that I'm looking for in gloves. But if I had a choice of designing my own glove, it would be nylon.

Actually, it would be a nylon vector pro with the breathe-ability of one90s(vents and beatheable material between fingers) and nash palms.

I prefer nylon over leather. I like the flexability of nylon. I use leather, but just because I couldn't find a pair that I liked in nylon other than a set of RBK's.

Nylon, only because I sweat buckets and leather doesn't dry fast enough.

Nylon. Gunning for TPS customs.

I don't really have a reason for liking leather, so I'll just piggyback on his.

Some leather/ synthetic leather gloves are light anyway, and can be pretty darn flexible too. I find tour gloves to be some of the lightest and most flexible gloves around, and they have the loose fit that I like.
