★ Driver Gloves | King Snake (Field-Tested)

The ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake in Field-Tested (FT) is a white leather pair with snake scales on the cuff. Extraordinary rank, with the star. The gloves come out of the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case. The float scale starts at 0.06 here, so Factory New is squeezed between 0.06 and 0.07.

What the ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake look like in Field-Tested

The leather is white with a creamy tint, and the pair has no red details. A snakeskin panel with a gray-green diamond scale pattern covers the back of the cuff. The fingers are perforated, and the white palm has a similar scaled insert. In its description Valve names the materials outright: white leather and snakeskin.

In this wear the ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake span 0.15 to 0.38, a stretch where nearly clean pairs and visibly worn ones both turn up. On white leather, rubbing reads as darkening and a dirtied tone on the finger creases and along the cuff edge. The wear is locked in when the item drops.

What to check before buying

When choosing the ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake, pay attention to the following:

• float: it is the same 0.15 to 0.38 band, and nearer 0.15 the white leather is cleaner;


• the scaled insert on the cuff: it shows how dark the gray-green pattern has become;


• the wear in the listing title: Factory New is sixteen times dearer, and Minimal Wear a little over three times.

Getting the ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake

The finish sits in the Clutch Case and in the Revolution Case, where Valve added the gloves from the Clutch Case on February 10, 2023. Both cases hand it out as a rare special item, and the wear and the pattern number come out at random. Through a trade-up contract, five Covert skins of one collection turn into a rare special item, but the pair cannot be chosen. The wear you want is bought as a ready listing.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is worth taking on the ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake for these reasons:

• you need a white pair for a CS2 loadout, and light darkening of the leather at the creases does not bother you;


• skipping Factory New saves a sixteen-fold surcharge;


• you want a finish from the middle of the Driver Gloves lineup.
