CS2 gloves are the second-highest-value item slot after knives. Introduced with Operation Hydra in 2016, gloves come in five styles — Sport Gloves, Specialist Gloves, Driver Gloves, Moto Gloves, Hand Wraps and Bloodhound Gloves — plus the Broken Fang collection additions (Hydra Gloves). Each style has its own finish catalogue, so the total variant count runs to hundreds of unique glove finishes.
Flagship gloves (Factory New): Sport Gloves Pandora's Box ($4,000–15,000+), Sport Gloves Vice ($3,000–10,000+), Specialist Gloves Fade ($3,000–12,000+), Sport Gloves Superconductor ($1,500–5,000), Sport Gloves Amphibious ($1,500–5,000), Moto Gloves Spearmint ($1,500–5,000), Driver Gloves King Snake ($1,500–4,500). Entry-tier options like Sport Gloves Slingshot or Driver Gloves Overtake sit around $200–500.
Prices below are cross-market medians updated daily. Note: unlike other items, gloves cannot be traded through Steam Community Market for prices above $2,000 due to the listing cap — expensive gloves trade primarily on third-party marketplaces.

Are CS2 gloves a good investment?

Why can't I buy expensive gloves on Steam Market?
Steam Community Market has a $2,000 listing cap. Any glove valued above $2,000 (Vice, Pandora's Box, most flagship gloves in Factory New) can only be traded through third-party marketplaces (Skinport, Waxpeer, CS.Trade) or peer-to-peer via trade offers. Use Steam trade offers with a middleman for very high-value trades.
