I've never understood the black trauma gloves, nor have I ever had a medical professional like them. When you're doing a sweep for blood under armor or clothing, the black doesn't have the contrast for the blood to really show. Kind of like all the medics I know use blue led's for light because the red light doesn't show the blood either.

Is there an advantage I'm missing?

Black gloves matter..

I've got some blue gloves I will throw in.

Quite frankly if you are shot, I'm not taking time to put on gloves before I try and stop you from bleeding to death.

Black gloves have 25.4% more tactical.
All marketing. In EMS we always just used whatever the higher ups bought.
They all work the same.

I think the gloves are included so you can blow them up as balloons, and give them to Tiny as you try and get a TK around his bleeding leg. Keep him distracted so he doesn't think you are going for his meat and two veg..

An elephant made out of a blue glove is pretty sweet.

Yeah, the gloves wont fit over the boot he will be using to step on the bleeding area.

No. I am hoping to get an order for 4 or 5..

The black gloves are thicker, that is their only advantage. AB is right though, they do not show blood very well.

Black is a slimming color, not the other way around!
