I'm a fan of the hard knuckle gloves and I'm looking to see if anyone can tell me what they know/think of hard knuckle made by Hatch, Oakley and Blackhawk.

I've only ever worn the Oakley SI Hard Knuckle, so I can't compare them to anything else. I will say, though, that they're the only glove I've ever found comfortable and flexible enough to use for Airsoft. They're pretty thin, so they don't interfere with handling your guns/gear, but they're also pretty rugged - I've been using mine for two seasons now and they don't have any rips/tears/holes/etc. I found them to be uncomfortable at first, especially the hard knuckle. After a little bit of wear-in, though, they adjusted to my hands, and now I don't even notice it being there. I can't imagine using any other gloves, honestly.

I wear the same as Composite, there is a bit of a break in period to get them feeling nice. They've also become... crusty or stiff for me I guess in the palm region. They also run a bit large from my experience and what I've been told. I like them just fine for gloves, but don't have my experience with anything else.

I was thinking about picking up gloves of the same nature so my question would be, can you fix this crustiness by rubbing the leather with some oil? Or is it not in the leather?

I've always just assumed it was from the large amounts of dirt/mud/sweat that get poured into my gloves and that never got washed out. Mine have always loosened up after a little bit of play time.

Yeah, when you're glove get hard and "crisp" it's usually 'cause enough water soaked it and just dried like that. Depending on what kind of gloves you've got, you can just run them through a wash cycle and they should be fine.

Used my Oakley SI gloves for the whole workup for this deployment. They managed to last me all the way up until fast roping and SOTG course. Now the left and right index finger is missing and the palms are looking rather thin, only a matter of time before those go. But as for airsoft goes. I'd definately reccomend. Another idea is take out the carbon fiber knuckle part (It's possible) and you've got yourself a nice Oakley glove with no set in formed area.

It's not the same glove, it's a replica.

Aside from the color being a little off, those would probably work fine. I wouldn't expect them to last as long though.
