Like weapon and knife skins, gloves in Counter-Strike offer no competitive advantage. However, players are still willing to drop hundreds to thousands of dollars on such cosmetics purely for visual accessories.
In this article, we’ll review the twenty best CSGO gloves available in the market.
#1 Sport Gloves | Vice
The Vice Gloves are easily one of the most popular gloves in the game due to their simple yet eye-catching design. The skin was crafted with synthetic fabrics that make these gloves bright and appealing. The design follows a color scheme of light blue and pink technical fabrics.
Price Range: $516 – $18,920
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
Overall, Vice Gloves fit really well with Fade and certain Doppler knife skins that complement its colors.
#2 Specialist Gloves | Crimson Kimono
The Crimson Kimono is hands-down the best red-colored gloves available in the game. Like the Crimson Web family, the crimson color gives these gloves an incredibly premium look. Additionally, the gloves have been accented with a stark red diamond pattern.
Price Range: $886 – $13,752
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
It is one of the few glove skins with pattern seeds like a Case Hardened skin would. Getting your hands on a Tier 1 pattern can bump its price up, even though it’s pricey already.
#3 Sport Gloves | Pandora’s Box
Being the most expensive glove skin on the list, putting the Pandora’s Box gloves any lower would be a crime. This pair of gloves follows a black and dark purple look, with subtle patterns printed on the palm areas.
Price Range: #1,825 – $61,430
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
Despite being released almost eight years ago, there is a very limited supply of Factory New copies—only 28 exist. The scarcity has allowed the Pandora’s Box skin prices to exceed the $60,000 mark!
#4 Specialist Gloves | Emerald Web
As you can tell from the name, the Emerald Web is a successor to the famous Crimson Web family. Following the same concept, it features a spider web pattern. One of the best AWPers in the game, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, has chosen this pair of gloves as one of the best CSGO gloves he’s owned.
Price Range: $314 – $9,509
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
Unfortunately, unlike certain Crimson Web knives, the Emerald Web does not have any extraordinary spider web patterns to look for.
#5 Driver Gloves | Black Tie
A real gentleman’s pair of choice would be the Black Tie. The back of the gloves is entirely black, while the opposite side is mainly white. It’s a classy and minimalist choice.
Price Range: $109 – $2,250
Collections: Operation Broken Fang Case / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
The Black Tie gloves work remarkably well with black-colored skins such as the AK-47 | Slate and AWP | Graphite. However, the Black Tie only looks good in Factory New condition.
#6 Driver Gloves | Imperial Plaid
The Imperial Plaid gloves are an excellent way to start if you’re trying to distinguish yourself from others and look different. This pair of gloves features a leather flannel design in an imperial hue with different shades of purple.
Price Range: $200 – $1,400
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
Though the color of these gloves does not match most weapon skin colors, they go exceptionally well with purple skins like the AWP | Lightning Strike and a few appropriate Doppler phases.
#7 Moto Gloves | Spearmint
The Spearmint gloves are a personal favorite. Using a vibrant mint green color scheme, they are a great addition to any player who is looking for a refreshing gaze. A few touches of spearmint leaf patterns complete the skin. The Spearmint gloves are currently the best option for white gloves.
Price Range: $307 – $13,405
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
This pair works best with white-colored skins, notably the Printstream family and the AK-47 | Vulcan.
#8 Sport Gloves | Amphibious
The Amphibious is the first blue-themed glove skin featured on the list. It features a synthetic blue and white mix that offers an eye-catching, ocean-depth look, similar to the Bright Water family of skins.
Price Range: $380 – $4,850
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
The transparent shades of blue make the Amphibious gloves one of the best CSGO gloves for professional players like Team Liquid’s Keith “NAF” Markovic and legendary Brazilian player Marcelo “coldzera” David.
#9 Sport Gloves | Nocts
If you’re looking for sleek and straightforward gloves, the Nocts becomes an attractive choice. The Nocts skin is one of the few glove choices offering an all-black design that matches most colors on weapon skins.
Price Range: $217 – $2,073
Collections: Operation Broken Fang Case / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
This particular set of gloves has been crafted with a dark, matte black finish with a pattern that doesn’t stand out too much. It is perfect for players who prefer to stay lowkey and don’t want to rock skins that take too much attention.
#10 Hand Wraps | Slaughter
The Slaughter skin family needs no introduction, as it is one of the first designs to be released in Counter-Strike. This glove skin includes leather hand wraps with distinct patterns of sharp and jagged lines.
Price Range: $159 – $1,443
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
The concept of the design and name of the skin gives players the impression of danger. The contrasting colors allow these bad boys to stand out, making it perfect for players looking for an eye-catching skin.
#11 Sport Gloves | Superconductor
The next glove skin on the list is another one that will cost you a fortune. The Superconductor is easily one of the cleanest glove designs out there, thanks to its systematic fabrics complemented by blue and black colors.
Price Range: $760 – $13,268
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
The Superconductor features a geometric grid pattern and blue touches to complete the skin. Professional G2 Esports player Nikola “NiKo” Kovač has made this skin one of his top choices for gloves.
#12 Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze
On this list, the Hedge Maze takes second place in terms of costs, but we’ve chosen to put it relatively low in 12th place. As the name hints, the Hedge Maze is inspired by a labyrinth hedge maze, which has become the central aspect of the skin’s design.
Price Range: $1,200 – $26,261
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
The Hedge Maze is a good choice for players who want skins with a mysterious vibe. However, we’ve subtracted points due to its light green color, which isn’t the most fan-favorite color for Counter-Strike skins.
#13 Hand Wraps | Cobalt Skulls
The second Hand Wraps glove skin to make it to the list is the Cobalt Skulls. These Hand Wraps were designed to protect the knuckles of the user and stabilize their wrists when punching. The Cobalt Skulls skin features printed images of skull motifs placed all around the skin.
Price Range: $242 – $2,099
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
Overall, the skin uses two shades of blue, mostly covered with light blue, the perfect color for grabbing the attention of others. However, there aren’t too many skin colors that match well with the Cobalt Skulls.
#14 Sport Gloves | Arid
The Arid Sport Gloves uses a utilitarian design that doesn’t stand out too much but gets the job done. With this skin, we have a desert-inspired color scheme, mainly consisting of different brown shades.
Price Range: $228 – $6,344
Collections: Glove Case / Operation Hydra Case
The Arid skin is finished with subtle camo prints to give these gloves a distinguished look. This creates a nice blend that represents desert terrain, as the name of the skin suggests. Truthfully, it is a very underrated skin and one of the best CSGO gloves in the game.
#15 Driver Gloves | Snow Leopard
Though the skin’s name is already a big tell, the Snow Leopard Driver Gloves were inspired by the big cat of the Himalayas. The skin features a nice blend of ice white and subtle gray colors, combining to resemble a snow leopard.
Price Range: $248 – $2,902
Collections: Operation Broken Fang Case / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
The main highlight of this skin is the silhouette of the animal, which is an incredibly nice touch for a pair of gloves. Since snow leopards are predators, owning a pair of these gloves can certainly make you feel like one.
#16 Sport Gloves | Omega
It might be a little difficult to tell at first glance, but once you’ve taken a good look, the Sports Glove | Omega uses a futuristic and sleek design, giving it a rather high-tech appearance. These gloves make use of a bold color scheme to back up their name of Omega, which means the end.
Price Range: $219 – $3,730
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
The skin design uses a streamlined silhouette with patterns of geometric accents, finished with black, silver, and strong yellow accents. Not only does the skin give a striking look, but it also works well when paired with weapon skins of varying colors.
#17 Sport Gloves | Scarlet Shamagh
A shamagh is a wrap-around head covering used in the Middle East to protect one’s eyes, nose, mouth, and neck. In this case, the Shamagh has been turned into sports gloves.
Price Range: $175 – $1,402
Collections: Operation Broken Fang / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
The Scarlet Shamagh precisely follows the characteristics of the shamagh, representing the Middle East and its rich heritage. The red color scheme and patterns represent a desert sunset, embodying the region’s artistic history and a touch of its culture.
#18 Hand Wraps | CAUTION!
The Hand Wraps | CAUTION! skin has a simple yet unique approach. If you’re looking for gloves to catch someone’s attention, you’re looking at the perfect choice. There isn’t too much to explain regarding the skin’s design, as it features crime scene tapes reading “CAUTION”, “DANGER”, and “WARNING”.
Price Range: $131 – $939
Collections: Operation Broken Fang Case / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
Grabbing this pair of gloves lets everyone in the game know that you’re someone they shouldn’t be messing with. Yellow-colored skins like the AK-47 | Fuel Injector become a perfect pairing with these hand wraps.
#19 Specialist Gloves | Fade
Though the Fade skin family has always been prestigious, we don’t think they did an amazing job with the gloves, so we’ve decided to put it low on the list. But hey, at least it made it. The glove version of the Fade features a multicolored design with metallic accents.
Price Range: $155 – $3,567
Collections: Clutch Case / Revolution Case
The best part about the Specialist Gloves | Fade is that they were solely made to become the best CSGO gloves to pair with Fade skins, such as the AWP | Fade or any of the knives!
#20 Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike
Lastly, we have the Tiger Strike gloves to close the list. Similar to the Snow Leopard, the Tiger Strike is inspired by one of the most notorious predators in the animal kingdom, this time, the tiger.
Price Range: $147 – $2,288
Collections: Operation Broken Fang Case / Recoil Case / Snakebite Case
This isn’t the first tiger-inspired skin, as we’ve had others, such as the CZ-75 | Tigris. The combination of orange and black stripes creates a powerful look for this pair of gloves, making you feel like a boss when wearing them.
