So, after almost three decades, the old black and green outer/liner cbt gloves have been turned in, and I now have the new CADPAT Gloves. I found immediately that the seams are all wrong on the middle two fingers, and the two seams which should be at the sides/tops of your fingers are actually closer to the palms/bottoms, thus, any dexterity on the tips of your fingers is lost. You don't feel the surface the gloves are touching, only the seams of the glove fingers.
I thought they may have gone light on the specs at the factory (who checks theses days?), so I looked at them and I think they may be sewing the fingers onto the gloves upside down.
Just for a laugh, I turned them inside out, and tried them on - WORKS GREAT.
This is the only piece of kit I have been issued in 30 years that works/feels better inside out.
But, hey, what's fifty bucks to the taxpayer, right?
