CS2 Gloves: All 8 Types, What Each Costs, and How to Pick a Pair

Every glove in CS2 belongs to one of eight types. That count comes from Steam, not from memory. A plain search for "gloves" in the Steam Community Market returned 405 item pages on 14 October; two were stickers with "gloves" in the name, which leaves 403 glove items. I then searched each type separately, and the eight counts added up to exactly 403. Nothing was left over, so there was no ninth type hiding in the results. If you searched "new gloves cs2" hoping for a type that launched recently, Steam's own market didn't list one that day.

Each item page is one finish in one wear, so a finish that exists in all five wears takes five pages. Here is how the 403 split, with the cheapest listing each search returned.

Source: Steam Community Market search, one query per type, sorted by lowest price, 14 October 2026 between 06:30 and 06:31 UTC. The page counts include item pages with no live listing, so treat them as the size of each catalogue, not as supply.

The page counts tell you something before you look at a single price. Driver, Specialist, Sport, Moto and Hand Wraps are the big catalogues, with 55 to 92 pages each. Hydra, Broken Fang and Bloodhound are small, with 19 or 20 pages. A small catalogue means fewer finishes to choose from, and in Bloodhound's case it also meant thin selling: the cheapest Bronzed Battle-Scarred pair had only 10 listings behind it.

The cheapest glove on Steam that morning was a Battle-Scarred Hydra Gloves | Rattler at $33.21. The chart at the top of this page puts all eight floors side by side, and the spread is narrower than most people expect. Five of the eight types had a pair under $50. The dearest floor, Sport Gloves | Bronze Morph in Battle-Scarred at $85.28, was 2.57 times the cheapest.

Three of those floors sit very close together. Hydra at $33.21, Driver at $34.50 and Moto at $37.95 are all within $4.74 of each other, which means at the bottom of the market you are choosing a look, not a price tier. Specialist and Broken Fang start $11 to $20 higher. Bloodhound and Sport start well above everything else.

One thing the floor table doesn't show is condition. Seven of the eight cheapest pairs were Battle-Scarred, the worst wear tier. The odd one out was Driver Gloves | Racing Green, where the Field-Tested copy at $34.50 was cheaper than the Battle-Scarred one at $34.99. That happens more than you'd think with gloves, and I come back to it in the wear section below.

If you want a running number rather than a one-morning snapshot, my feed tracks three gloves on every refresh. On 19 October 2026 the lowest listings across the marketplaces it checks were $51.99 for Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red, $37.09 for Hand Wraps | Constrictor and $45.74 for Broken Fang Gloves | Unhinged, all in Field-Tested. Those three update with the rest of the CS2 skin prices on this site, so they may have moved since I wrote this.

The type sets the floor. The finish decides everything above it. The clearest case is Driver Gloves. In Field-Tested, Racing Green cost $34.50 and Crimson Weave cost $1,782.50. That's the same glove model in the same wear tier, and one is 51.7 times the price of the other.

Moto Gloves show the same thing. Transport in Field-Tested was $38.20 and Cool Mint in Field-Tested was $1,649.99, a 43.2 times gap. Sport Gloves are the type people associate with expensive gloves, and even there the range inside one wear is wide. The cheapest Field-Tested Sport pair, Bronze Morph, was $97.70. A Field-Tested Sport Gloves | Vice was $493.74, 5.05 times as much.

These are the finishes my searches showed, grouped by type. It isn't a complete catalogue, because I only recorded the ten cheapest items per type plus the ten dearest gloves overall, but every name here was on sale on 14 October:

• Sport Gloves: Bronze Morph, Creme Pinstripe, Red Racer, Blaze, Big Game, Vice, Arid.
• Specialist Gloves: Buckshot, Chocolate Chesterfield, Mogul, Lt. Commander, Field Agent, Emerald Web.
• Driver Gloves: Racing Green, Overtake, Queen Jaguar, Rezan the Red, Crimson Weave, Brocade Flowers, Dragon Fists, Diamondback.
• Moto Gloves: Transport, 3rd Commando Company, POW!, Finish Line, Turtle, Cool Mint.
• Hand Wraps: Desert Shamagh, Constrictor, Arboreal, Giraffe.
• Bloodhound Gloves: Bronzed, Snakebite, Guerrilla, Charred.
• Hydra Gloves: Rattler, Mangrove, Emerald.
• Broken Fang Gloves: Needle Point, Yellow-banded, Unhinged, Jade.

Lots of people search by colour, "blue gloves cs2" for example. I don't rank gloves by colour here, because a listing's price data doesn't record colour and I'd only be describing images. Open the Steam listing for a finish and look at the inspect image yourself before you decide anything on looks. People searching "vice gloves cs2" mean the Sport Gloves | Vice, and its numbers are in the next section.

Glove wear works like weapon wear. Each pair has a float value between 0 and 1, fixed when the item is created, and the float decides the wear name. The standard ranges, as BLAST's wear guide lists them, are Factory New 0.00 to 0.07, Minimal Wear 0.07 to 0.15, Field-Tested 0.15 to 0.38, Well-Worn 0.38 to 0.45 and Battle-Scarred 0.45 to 1.00. My CS2 float chart covers this in more depth, and how to check CS2 float shows you how to read the exact number on a listing.

What's different about gloves is where the price steps happen. I took five finishes from the 14 October searches where Steam showed four wears side by side:

Source: lowest Steam Community Market listing per wear, 14 October 2026, 06:30 UTC.

Two patterns stand out. First, the bottom three wears are close together on cheap finishes. On Rattler, Racing Green and Transport, Battle-Scarred, Well-Worn and Field-Tested were all within $7 of each other, and Well-Worn was actually dearer than Field-Tested on all three. Second, the jump to Minimal Wear is large every time: 40% on Rattler, 62% on Racing Green and 81% on Transport. On the Vice it was 239%, from $493.74 to $1,675.20.

Factory New gloves exist, but they're rare enough that none made any type's ten cheapest listings. The only Factory New pairs in my results were at the very top of the market: Driver Gloves | Brocade Flowers at $2,026.95, Dragon Fists at $1,710.85 and Diamondback at $1,679.51, each with one or two listings. The Vice search returned four item pages, Battle-Scarred to Minimal Wear, and no Factory New page at all.

The listing counts in that morning's searches matter as much as the prices. On all five finishes in the wear table, Field-Tested had by far the most copies for sale: 183 for Racing Green, 187 for Transport, 177 for Rattler, 138 for Buckshot and 98 for the Vice. Battle-Scarred had between 24 and 56 on the same finishes, and Minimal Wear between 44 and 50, except the Vice, which had 4.

That matters for two reasons. When you buy, a deep pool of Field-Tested listings lets you pick a copy whose float and wear pattern you like instead of taking whatever is cheapest. When you sell, you're competing with a lot of other sellers, so your pair has to be priced at or near the floor to move. Battle-Scarred is the opposite on both counts: fewer choices, fewer competitors.

Field-Tested is also a wide band. 0.15 and 0.37 are both Field-Tested, and on a pale finish they can look like two different pairs. My guide to Field-Tested in CS2 goes through how to read that range. With gloves I'd always open the inspect view first, because a high Field-Tested float on bright leather often looks worse than a low Well-Worn one.

Where you look changes the price you see. My feed records the lowest asking price across CSFloat, CS.MONEY, market.csgo and Skinport. Steam is a separate market with its own sellers. On the same gloves the two can be far apart.

The clearest example from this week is Broken Fang Gloves | Unhinged in Field-Tested. The feed's lowest listing on 13 October was $46.90 on CSFloat. On Steam the next morning, the cheapest Field-Tested Unhinged was $64.00, 36% higher, with 93 copies listed. Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red showed the same direction: the feed had it at $53.00 on 13 October, while on Steam it didn't appear among the ten cheapest Driver listings, which topped out at $58.74. Its Steam floor that morning was therefore above $58.74.

I don't treat either number as the "real" price. They are asking prices on different venues, with different fees, payment methods and buyers. Steam is the first-party market and the one every CS2 player can use without signing up anywhere else. The third-party venues often list lower, but you take on their terms and a trade between accounts. If you're new to buying outside Steam, read my comparison of the best CS2 skin marketplaces and the guide to CS2 skin scams first. Whichever venue you use, compare like with like: same finish, same wear and similar float, on the same day.

The three gloves in my feed give the only trend I can actually measure. My first snapshot was 31 July 2026, and I compare it with the 13 October refresh:

• Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red (FT): $60.76 on 31 July, $53.00 on 13 October, down 12.8%.
• Broken Fang Gloves | Unhinged (FT): $55.33 on 31 July, $46.90 on 13 October, down 15.2%.
• Hand Wraps | Constrictor (FT): $45.94 on 31 July, $37.03 on 13 October, down 19.4%.

All three went down, and none went down in a straight line. Unhinged was at $40.96 on 13 September, then back up to $46.90 a month later. Rezan the Red dipped to $52.40 on 31 August and was back to $56.63 the next day. Snapshots like these record the cheapest listing at one moment, and one seller pricing low for an hour shows up as a dip.

Three Field-Tested pairs under $61 are not the whole glove market, and I'm not going to stretch them into one. What they do show is that cheap gloves have not been a one-way bet over the ten and a half weeks I have data for. If you're buying to use them, a falling floor is good news. If you're buying because you expect the price to rise, my feed has no data that supports that. The CS2 skin price tracker page explains how the snapshots are taken and where the gaps are, including the jump from 13 September straight to 13 October.

A glove's price has fewer moving parts than a knife's. On 14 October, a Steam market search for "StatTrak Gloves" returned zero items, while the same search for "StatTrak Karambit" returned 55, all labelled ★ StatTrak™ Covert Knife. Every glove in my results was a plain ★ Extraordinary Gloves item. So with gloves you're comparing type, finish, wear and float, and there's no StatTrak multiplier on top.

Where they come from is a separate question. In the cases that contain them, gloves share the Rare Special slot with knives, and the 0.26% figure from Valve's disclosed odds covers that whole slot, not one glove. My page on CS2 case opening odds explains the tiers. At 0.26%, unboxing a specific pair is a very expensive way to get it next to buying one at the prices in the table above. I haven't listed which cases contain which gloves, because I haven't checked that against a source I trust, and a wrong case list is worse than none.

This is the order I'd go in, based on the numbers above.

1. Set the budget before you pick the type. Under $40 you're choosing between Hydra, Driver and Moto in their cheapest finishes. Up to $55 brings in Hand Wraps, Specialist Buckshot and Broken Fang. Sport and Bloodhound start at $75 and up.
2. Pick the finish by looking at it. The floors are close, so a pair you like for $5 more is worth more than one you're indifferent about. Open the Steam listing and look at the inspect image.
3. Default to Field-Tested, then check the float. It had the deepest pool on every finish I checked, and on the cheap finishes it cost within $1.52 of Battle-Scarred, once even less. Prefer a low Field-Tested float on pale finishes.
4. Skip Minimal Wear unless you really care about it. It cost 40% to 81% more than Field-Tested on the cheap finishes and 239% more on the Vice.
5. Check both kinds of venue on the same day. On Unhinged the gap between Steam and the feed was 36%. A quick comparison is worth more than any buying tip.
6. Don't buy gloves as an investment. The three pairs I track have been falling since July.

Once you have a budget and a type, go to the best CS2 gloves under $80 for specific pairs, or the CS2 knives and gloves hub if you're still deciding between gloves and a knife. Check the live Steam Community Market before you pay. Everything on this page is one morning's snapshot plus three tracked prices, and gloves move.
