What the ★ Specialist Gloves | Big Swell look like in Battle-Scarred

The back of the hand carries a big-wave picture: blue swells with white foam under a cream sky. A golden strip with the lettering TORTUE runs across the knuckles. The fingers are made of muted light-blue fabric, with a dark gray-blue trim along the edges. Valve describes the gloves as durable, breathable and stylish.

On gloves, wear shows not as scratches but as scuffed fabric and leather, most of all at the finger creases. In Battle-Scarred the scuffing is the heaviest of the five wears, and it is fixed at the drop. The ceiling of the scale here is 0.80, not 1.00: on this pair Battle-Scarred ends before the standard limit.
