What the ★ Hydra Gloves | Case Hardened look like in Field-Tested

The fingertips are open. On the back of the hand the print gleams with rainbow heat tints: blue, lilac and orange patches on a silver-gray base. The cuff with its strap and snap button and the leather of the fingers are brass-gold. A gold snake sits in the center of the hand, with metal spikes set around it and along the edges. Valve describes the pair as gloves of vegan leather with a mottled metal print and the Operation Hydra logo.

Wear on these gloves shows at the finger creases and knuckles: there are no edge scratches, as on a blade. The ★ Hydra Gloves | Case Hardened should be chosen within 0.15 to 0.38 here, since the difference between the top and the bottom of the span is noticeable. The wear is fixed at drop and does not change.
