Personally I would pick the Oakleys but I have heard of some tearing at the seam where the thumb meets the palm. Some guys love them though I just find the fingers a little bulky for my liking.

If you are looking for gloves with hard knuckle protection which I assume you are another good choice is the Damascus Nitros. If not I would recommend Mechanix or Outdoor Research.

I own a pair of Oakley hard knuckles. Best gloves I have ever spent money on. Few problems here and there like OMEGA said with the stitching. Mine are fine in that department for now thankfully, it's really just how they feel. So comfortable, however, expensive IMO for a pair of gloves.

Oakleys are great if depending how you treat them.
Mine had ripped near the thumb and index finger. I decided I to cut them off.

Id say whatever u do try gloves on befor u buy what is comfortable: fits well for some may not work well for you. The condor gloves i cant wear i tryed medium and the fingers are are just too short and large are good in the finger but the palms are too wide. Go to yer local tactical shop and try em on

This.

All of the glove sizes are usually different. When I bought the Oakley gloves I had to go one size smaller.

What a medium was with my old gloves, became a small when I bought from a different company.

Always try them first before you buy to make sure that your choice is what feels best for you.

I love my mechanix, Mpact is also not bad. If you want hard knuckles then go with Oakley, They are pretty comfortable, just be careful you don't end up buying replicas, they are the same price.

If you want hard knuckles get some bigger pockets. What a pain in the ass sometimes...

Go with the Oakley gloves as long as they're real the fake ones leave your hands looking like you just got back from coal mining with your bare hands.

I bought 2 pairs of the Oakley hard knuckles in Tan for around $20 each at their outlet store in Portland, Oregon.

They are amazing, however the stitching around the thumb is tearing but still holding up!

I bought a pair of Mechanix Hard knuckles (http://www.mechanixwear.ca/tactical/taa-m-pact-3-glove).

Unless you can get Oakleys for cheap (like RaisinBran did) I would steer away from them, they are good gloves don't get me wrong, but break down too fast if you run them hard. Same thing for Condor.

I just picked up another pair of Oakley's and I would recommend them. You might want to consider mechanix mpact gloves though they have enough knuckle protection from BBs as well as anything else. I have thrown at them. I used them daily for almost a year before I needed to replace them. The Oakleys are nice but I would almost consider them more gauntlets than gloves.
