Engineered to provide ultimate dexterity in tactical situations, the new Wiley X Aries Flight Gloves feature a unique Nomex/Kevlar weave material that lasts four to six times longer than traditional flight gloves. The thumb, index and middle fingertips have been removed to increase precision when operating machinery or handling a firearm. The fire-resistant material is tough and durable and will not wear down after extended periods of use. There is an adjustable cuff at the wrist for a customizable fit, and the gloves have been designed to match U.S. military uniforms. Built with military professionals in mind and NAVAIR approved, these gloves are tough and comfortable.

These gloves are the bee's knees. Last week I was evading my crash site, and the bad guys were there, so I was all like "PEW PEW! PEW PEW!" The lack of material on the fingers made it way easier for me to shoot those guys right in their face-holes. Then when their buddies showed up, and I used the padded knuckles to punch their heads THROUGH a tree. I would have taken a picture, but I was too busy throwing up from how awesome it was. I told myself, "You know what? I'm glad I spent $90 on these gloves instead of a subscription to ForeFlight. I might have avoided crashing into that tower or being pushed so low by weather, and will probably get fried in the investigation for wearing unapproved uniform items, but I totally killed the crap out of those guys." Those super durable, breathable, and 100% free gloves the government gave me to protect my hands from a post crash fire? Totally not as cool as these.

Very comfortable to wear. I barely know I'm wearing them at times. Despite being small, they keep the non exposed parts of your hand adequately warm. I have used them in bellow freezing weather with little discomfort.

I have owned Wiley X products in the past, and I expected much more out of this product. Given the price, I figured there would be some TLC in their manufacturing. However, the gloves are disproportional just as previous reviews have mentioned. One seam of the middle finger lands right on a knuckle and makes movement almost painful while the opposite finger is almost a half-inch shorter. The sizing of the product also seems off as I wear a size "8" in the standard-issue Nomex gloves and have a measured 8-inch hand based on the recommended measurements but the Wiley's seem to be a bit smaller.

Just started using these and the gloves fingers weren’t cut to the same dimensions. To the extent that the right thumb which should be exposed is nearly completely covered by the extra fabric.

He is more that happy!

Lovthe the look and all resists added - too bad you didn't load the knuckles with lil shot -like sapper gloves.
nothing like the sound of crackling cartilage when you have to get in very close!

The leather is thin enough that your still able to feel the controls. One problem is the ring finger on both gloves is a bit long. I could not go down to the next size, but the palm is already a bit snug when closing my hand and I know I would not fit into a smaller size.

Couple fingers are uneven between the two gloves. (Pinkey and ring finger are longer on the left glove).
