    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.

    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.

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