@backstageleft maybe you should try these? You had said you hate when women’s gloves are all pink, but these come in all black and down to size XS! Plus the features seem hella cool!

*begin shameless gushing about work gloves* Dude. I love these gloves. We got to meet Danny at USITT and I bought a pair of these as soon as I got home. Let me tell you they are fantastic! First off, because he’s a live entertainment guy, he knows what the job entails and is designing gloves specifically for our applications. And he’s doing a hell of a job already. Reinforcement in all the right places, including on the edge between your thumb and index finger (where I always get blisters) and the top of the knuckles. They’re made of a great breathable material, too. Did we mention that they come in ALL BLACK? Not mostly black, not black with spot color. ALL. BLACK. Oh, and here’s a cool thing: the finger pads are that awesome touchscreen compatible material! And if you’ve got really fine adjustments to make on something (or if you’re working on an older M7 where the touch screen material doesn’t work on the touchscreen) then the finger tips on the thumb and first two fingers pull back so that you can use your bare fingers! I was worried initially that the whole finger tip thing would be really bad, but it’s actually rather ingeniously designed with a semi-rigid finger protector, so that when you want the tips on, they stay on, and when you want them out of the way, they stay out of your way. The gloves don’t come in XS or XXL sizes yet, but Dan has promised to have them available by summer. And he has also promised that there won’t be a “ladies glove” separate from the rest of the lines with a bunch of bright pink and female logos all over them (like dirty rigger does). Which means you can get the All Black version or the insulated version in XS without losing features. F'real though. I have NEVER been this excited about a work glove.
