A $100 budget in CS2 buys more than the cheapest gloves on the market: it buys a pair in good condition. Hydra Gloves and Driver Gloves Racing Green cost about $35 to $40 in Minimal Wear, while $65 to $85 gets you bolder designs such as Moto Gloves POW!, Sport Gloves Bronze Morph and Hydra Gloves Case Hardened. Below are 13 pairs that currently fit under $100 on LIS-SKINS, each with the wear worth buying and the reason it is good value. If you simply want to spend as little as possible, see our separate list of the cheapest gloves in CS2; this guide answers a different question: what is the best you can get for up to $100.
All prices are approximate and tied to the specific wear named for each pair. The glove market moves daily, so check the item page for the current price.
How to Choose Gloves Under $100
Every glove in CS2 has a float range of 0.06 to 0.80. Factory New covers only the thin band from 0.06 to 0.07, so those copies are scarce and almost always cost more than $100. Minimal Wear (0.07 to 0.15) is far more affordable, and on budget models Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred differ by just a few dollars. That gives a simple rule: on cheap models it pays to step up to Minimal Wear, while on pricier designs Field-Tested is the sensible stopping point. For a refresher on how float works in CS:GO and CS2, see the dedicated guide.
Hydra Gloves Rattler and Mangrove (cheapest Minimal Wear, about $35)
Hydra Gloves Rattler carry a snakeskin texture, finished with a leather panel showing a hydra on the back of the hand. Hydra Gloves Mangrove share the cut but come in gray and dark brown, with a metallic hydra on the panel. Both pairs drop from the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case.
This is the cheapest way to own gloves in Minimal Wear: about $35 a pair. Field-Tested sits around $25, so the step up costs roughly $7 and removes most of the visible scuffing on the palms and fingers. Factory New goes above $100.
Driver Gloves Racing Green (full-hand gloves for about $40)
If you prefer gloves that cover the whole hand, Driver Gloves Racing Green are the least expensive way to get them. The leather pair has a green back with a woven pattern and suits most green and brown loadouts.
Minimal Wear runs about $40 and Field-Tested about $30. Wear shows more on the light leather than on the snakeskin print of the Hydra pair, which makes Minimal Wear worth it here.
Moto Gloves Transport and 3rd Commando Company (moto gloves from $35)
Moto Gloves Transport come in shades of yellow, orange and light brown, with plastic armor over the knuckles and fingers. Minimal Wear costs about $50, Field-Tested about $30.
Moto Gloves 3rd Commando Company are gray with red details. The dark base hides wear well, so Field-Tested at about $35 is the smart buy: Minimal Wear costs around $80, more than double, for a difference that is hard to spot in game.
Broken Fang Gloves Needle Point and Unhinged (operation design from $55)
The fingerless Broken Fang Gloves arrived with Operation Broken Fang in 2020 and drop from the Operation Broken Fang Case, the Snakebite Case and the Recoil Case. Broken Fang Gloves Needle Point are covered in a fine botanical pattern with dark red overlays and a gold emblem; Minimal Wear costs about $55.
Broken Fang Gloves Unhinged are plainer: gray, with metal studs and a silver emblem. Minimal Wear is about $70, Field-Tested about $45.
Hand Wraps Desert Shamagh (wraps for about $60)
Hand Wraps Desert Shamagh look like strips of cloth with a yellow-brown ornament. They fit desert and camo loadouts and read very differently from any leather glove.
Minimal Wear costs about $60 and Field-Tested about $35. Wear is less obvious on fabric, so Field-Tested is a reasonable pick if you want to save.
Specialist Gloves Buckshot (Specialist for about $65)
Specialist Gloves Buckshot are mostly dark green and dark brown with a few brighter accents. Specialist Gloves cover the wrist, so more of the finish stays on screen than with moto gloves.
This is the most affordable Specialist pair: about $65 in Minimal Wear and about $40 in Field-Tested. It works well with camo and minimalist loadouts.
Moto Gloves POW! (boldest design, about $65)
Moto Gloves POW! use a comic-book look with the word POW! printed on them. No other pair under $100 is this loud, which makes them a good match for colorful loadouts.
Field-Tested at about $65 is the wear to buy. Well-Worn is only a few dollars cheaper, while Minimal Wear costs about $150 and falls outside the budget.
Broken Fang Gloves Jade (green accent, about $65)
Broken Fang Gloves Jade stand out with a rich jade green. It is one of the most recognizable Broken Fang finishes, and in Factory New it costs several times more than the budget models.
Field-Tested is about $65 and Battle-Scarred about $60. Minimal Wear already goes above $100.
Sport Gloves Bronze Morph (entry to Sport Gloves, about $70)
Sport Gloves usually cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, and Sport Gloves Bronze Morph are close to the only way to own the model on a budget under $100. The bronze tones with a pattern that resembles oxidized metal suit brown and gold loadouts.
Field-Tested costs about $70 and Battle-Scarred about $65. Minimal Wear is around $115, so Field-Tested is the right wear here.
Hydra Gloves Case Hardened (pattern play in Minimal Wear, about $80)
Hydra Gloves Case Hardened mix the blue, gold and purple tones of case-hardened steel. As with other Case Hardened skins, the look depends on the pattern index, so two copies in the same wear can differ noticeably.
Minimal Wear costs about $80 and Field-Tested about $50. Check the preview of the specific listing before buying: at the same float, the share of blue varies a lot.
Driver Gloves Overtake (top of the budget, about $85)
Driver Gloves Overtake are stitched from dark brown and yellow panels, which gives the back of the hand a high-contrast pattern. In Minimal Wear, at about $85, this is the priciest pair on the list.
To save money, Field-Tested costs about $40, but wear is visible on the light yellow inserts. On driver gloves the gap between Field-Tested and Minimal Wear shows more than on darker models.
What Drives the Price of Gloves Under $100
Model. Hydra, Driver, Moto and Hand Wraps are the cheapest; Specialist and especially Sport Gloves cost more even in low wears.
Wear and float. Prices jump only at Minimal Wear and Factory New; the bottom three wears of budget models cost almost the same.
Pattern. The pattern index matters for Case Hardened; on the other pairs in this list the finish barely changes from copy to copy.
No StatTrak. Gloves never come in StatTrak versions, so model, finish and wear set the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best CS2 gloves under $100?
On price versus looks, three stand out: Hydra Gloves in Minimal Wear for about $35, Moto Gloves POW! in Field-Tested for about $65, and Sport Gloves Bronze Morph for about $70 as the cheapest way into Sport Gloves.
Which wear should I buy with a $100 budget?
On cheap models (Hydra, Driver Racing Green, Moto Transport) take Minimal Wear: the premium over Field-Tested is roughly $7 to $20. On pricier designs such as POW!, Jade and Bronze Morph, Field-Tested is the best fit, because their Minimal Wear already costs more than $100.
Can I get gloves for less than the market price?
Gloves drop from cases at about 0.26% odds, shared with knives, and since fall 2025 they can also be crafted with a trade-up contract of 5 Covert skins. Both routes are random and cost more on average than buying directly; the mechanics are covered in our knife and glove crafting guide.
Are there Factory New gloves under $100?
Not right now: even the cheapest Hydra Gloves Mangrove and Rattler cost slightly over $100 in Factory New. The reason is the narrow 0.06 to 0.07 float band for that wear.
