Neumann gloves

[RockSkyGirl 10]

Neumann gloves - the tackified football receiver gloves with the big N on the back - are no longer being made. I have tried on a couple other brands including Akando and the others all seem to fit like gardening gloves - roomy - and roomy gloves aren't good for gripping.

Does anyone have a recommendation for tackified skydiving gloves which hug the hand and fingers and fit skin-tight like Neumanns?

The Gun Glove - summer weight shooting gloves. They come in half sizes!

I use the 99 cents grippy gloves from Home Depot. They're thin, so maybe not enough for real winter, but enough for the temperatures when your hands get pain from cold. Can't find exact model, but similar to this:

They provide excellent grip and precise feel-through.

Imho, Neumann's are way overhyped. Way overpriced ($45 LOL); not warm for real winter, either; weak, tear easily; not enough precision feel to make things like collapsing slider easy.

I recommend to everyone when needing peripheral gear, to look elsewhere, not skydiving shops. Gloves, helmets, goggles, even altimeters - there are excellent alternatives available that work well and are not outrageously priced.

I wear the golf gloves. They are soft and cheap.

hey girl!

We have a few pair of black ones left. And I'm pretty sure the PD gloves are a damn-good knockoff of original neumanns. I might order myself a couple pair. Same with the NSL gloves you can buy on the website.

I have a pair of under armor cold gear receiver gloves which are excellent. Tight fighting neoprene glove, with a synthetic tacky palm which is made of a very grippy material that would probably make a good SM kink suit if it was used for a whole garment.

They work great for tandems at the beginning and end of the season, complete dexterity for hook-up sequence and handle checks.

I like them, so when they shit the bed I probably won't find them again.

This is the only example I could find with a google search.

Has anyone tried the Tunnel Rat or Chutingstar brands of tackified gloves?

[dpreguy 14]

Dang, I always relied on Para Gear to order more of them.
Esp since I need double XL gloves. Always was able to get them ordered. I'm sad they are gone. Are they out of business?

[RockSkyGirl 10]

XXL are the only size you can order from any supplier right now (unless Paragear has more sizes? Betzilla, any summer-weight mediums left?). But you CAN still find some XXL out there. If that's your size I'd get them fast.

Note on the RockSkyMarket page is that the manufacturer is no longer making that product. I can't find a webpage for the manufacturer anywhere. The brand itself is owned by another company.

I have a pair of the tunnel rats ones, they’re ok, not as good as Neumann but certainly not terrible

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

OP

The US distributor seems to list them in next year's catalog. Page 14 to 16.

And many sites are selling them.

Jump more, post less!

I HAVE found the listing all over the web but the only available size has been 2XL.

It is promising that they are in the Adams catalog for next year. I'd checked that site but I hadn't checked the 2019 catalog. Hopefully that means they will be available soon. Until then I will need to find something else; my last pair (over a year and a few hundred jumps and several tunnel hours old! They DO last...) finally sprang a hole this past weekend.

I have short, stubby fingers. Youth football gloves fit me very well. They dont last as long, but neither do they cost as much. Most adult sizes have either fingers too thin that constrict, or too long.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Rocksky - Thanks. I ordered XXL no problem. They are already shipped.
