I worked the flight line on the F-4E Phantom, F-15C Eagle, and F-16 Falcon while serving as a Weapons Technician in the USAF many years ago. These gloves served me very well while I was stationed in Iceland and Arizona! They are part of a system that incorporates a wool insert if needed. The work gloves were issued when you first arrived, and were surrendered when they became unserviceable or when one was reassigned elsewhere. So, it was difficult to stow away a pair of these gloves just for me,
There are many other foreign imports, or higher tech options available in today's marketplace. Regardless, I decided to go with the gloves I know and have fond memories of.
