{"product_id":"garrett-metal-detecting-gloves-touchscreen","title":"Garrett Metal Detecting Gloves, Touchscreen Fingers, Medium \/ Large \/ X-Large","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarrett's detecting gloves in three sizes, Medium, Large, and X-Large, with touchscreen fingertips.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every detectorist has done the dance: target in the hole, phone in the pocket, one glove off to photograph the find or check a map, glove back on, repeat at the next signal. Garrett built this glove so the glove stays on. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger of each hand work a phone screen, the palm and knuckles carry foam padding for the digging, and a Garrett hook-and-loop tab locks the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarrett Detecting Gloves, part numbers 1628101 (Medium), 1628102 (Large), and 1628103 (X-Large). Olive green and black. Touchscreen-capable thumb, index, and middle finger on each glove; foam padding at the palm and knuckles; cut and scratch protection for the fingers; Garrett-branded hook-and-loop closure. Genuine Garrett accessory, sold by History Seekers, an authorized Garrett dealer, and drop-shipped from Garrett's warehouse in Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy these gloves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarrett lists four things this glove does, and each one maps to a moment in the field. The touchscreen fingertips are for the photograph, the GPS pin, and the text to your hunting partner, none of which should cost you a glove. The foam padding at the palm and knuckles is for the fiftieth plug of the day, when the shovel handle and the rocks in the fill have started to bruise. The cut and scratch protection is for what lives in the dirt: glass, can slaw, rusted iron, and the roots you tear through to reach a deep signal. And the hook-and-loop wrist tab is what keeps grit out of the cuff and the glove on your hand when it is wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Garrett's rather than a generic touchscreen work glove: the sizing. Garrett sells this glove in three real sizes with a part number for each, so a Medium hand is not swimming in a one-size glove. Garrett also states plainly what the glove is not: it gives some warmth, but it is not built for very cold weather. For a frozen-ground hunt, layer a liner under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy three sizes matter for the fit: other dealers report this glove runs snug, and recommend going up a size if you like a looser fit. We carry all three, so the choice is yours at the size picker.
