★ Driver Gloves | Diamondback (Minimal Wear)

Minimal Wear (MW) on the ★ Driver Gloves | Diamondback is a narrow float band, 0.07 to 0.15. Their rank is Extraordinary, with the star. Their cases are the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case.

What the ★ Driver Gloves | Diamondback look like

The back of the hand is wrapped in snakeskin: sand, olive and beige-green diamonds with dark spots. The palm and fingers are dark brown, with perforation on the fingers. In Valve's wording, it is light leather mixed with black leather and snake skin.

In Minimal Wear the leather holds almost whole: the perforation and seams are clean, and the scales on the back keep their contrast. The wear was fixed at the moment of the drop and does not change.
