I found that RAF gloves were of somewhat variable quality. The white ones of the '70s and '80s were fine, then someone decided to make them a gopping green colour.....
Then they went back to white again; however, some politcal corrrecto thought that 'Cape Leather' meant that they cam from nasty apartheid seth efrika, so the supplier was changed. Heaven knows what they were then made from - Etruscan goat scrotums or something similar. The lasted no time at all and ripped absurdly easily. So back to the old type again.....
Mind you, for sheer nonsense, there was that well known tanker pilot, Lord Percy of the Navbags, who used to have one pair for carrying his navbags to the aeroplane, another pair for flying - and a special pair for prodding....
He used to change a pair every 2 weeks - hardly surprising that there were supply issues....
Of cause you could always try those great big leather gauntlets used by the Shuttleworth chaps!
I used to have a pair of American nomex ones for doing external checks etc on spamcans, but don't feel the need to fly wearing gloves these days.
