Driver Gloves in CS2: All 20 Finishes, Bands and Which Case (2026)

Driver Gloves are the largest glove family in CS2 with 20 finishes, and the one we would point most first-time buyers at: the cheapest full-fingered leather glove in the game (Racing Green at about $27 Battle-Scarred on 9 September 2026), the most searched mid-band pair (Snow Leopard), and eight of the 22 new Dead Hand gloves. The design is a short driving glove — soft leather, a snap cuff, a perforated back — so the finish is mostly about hide colour and weave, and wear shows as scuffing at the knuckles.

What Driver Gloves are

A driving glove: thin leather, a snap at the wrist, and a plain back that takes a dye, a weave or a print. Valve's text says they "offer protection from the elements while still maintaining tactile sensation", which is the whole aesthetic — these are the understated gloves, and most of the finishes are a single hide colour with a contrasting cuff or weave. Four came in the Glove Case set in 2016, four in the Clutch set in 2018, four in the Broken Fang set in 2020, and eight in the Dead Hand Collection on 11 March 2026, the largest share of that set.

In first person the Driver reads as a slim hand: the back of the hand and the knuckles carry the finish, the cuff is a thin band at the wrist, and the palm is hidden by the weapon most of the time. That is why dyed and woven finishes suit the family and busy prints do not, and why Valve's skinning fix of 16 October 2025 — a correction to how the Driver and Sport hand models deform in animation — mattered more here than anywhere else.

The Broken Fang set: Snow Leopard, Black Tie, Queen Jaguar, Rezan the Red

Snow Leopard is the most searched Driver glove and the family's mid-band flagship at ≈$194 BS to ≈$1,899 FN; the white hide shows wear early, so hunt the float. Black Tie (≈$82 BS to ≈$1,172 FN) is the black-and-white pair and the best formal glove in the game; Queen Jaguar (≈$43 BS to ≈$394 FN) is the dark spotted one at a third of Snow Leopard's price; Rezan the Red (≈$49 BS to ≈$608 FN) is the deep red. All four drop from the Broken Fang, Snakebite and Recoil cases and craft from five Snakebite or Recoil Coverts at about $115–130.

The Clutch set: King Snake, Imperial Plaid, Overtake, Racing Green

King Snake is the Clutch set's prestige Driver at ≈$90 BS to ≈$2,239 FN — white leather and snakeskin, the cleanest white glove in the game below the Sport prices. Imperial Plaid (≈$99 BS to ≈$914 FN) is flannel and leather with an "imperial hue"; Overtake (≈$36 BS to ≈$328 FN) is black and tan; Racing Green (≈$27 BS to ≈$196 FN) is the green hide with a grey chevron weave and the cheapest full-fingered glove in CS2. Clutch and Revolution cases, craftable from five Revolution Coverts at about $110 — which is why the floor here is soft.

The Glove Case set: Crimson Weave, Lunar Weave, Diamondback, Convoy

The 2016 originals are Crimson Weave (≈$141 BS to ≈$2,082 FN), Lunar Weave (midnight blue suede and black leather, ≈$83 BS to ≈$1,090 FN), Diamondback (tan, black and snakeskin, ≈$94 BS to ≈$724 FN) and Convoy (brown leather and suede, ≈$60 BS to ≈$581 FN). Supply is thin because the Glove Case and Hydra Case left the drop pool years ago, and it shows in the listings: on 9 September 2026 Convoy's Field-Tested asks sat above its Well-Worn ones by several hundred dollars, a liquidity artefact rather than a price. Read the float and the number of listings, not the tier, on these four.

The eight Dead Hand Drivers

Wave Chaser (≈$118 BS to ≈$1,968 FN) is the set's most expensive Driver, a white silk pair with a dragon motif; Brocade Crane (≈$109 BS to ≈$1,608 FN) and Brocade Flowers (≈$102 BS to ≈$1,508 FN) are the woven brocade pair; Garden (≈$132 BS to ≈$1,371 FN) is the teal embroidered floral that people search for by name; Hand Sweaters (≈$83 BS to ≈$1,060 FN) is the green knitted novelty; Plum Quill (≈$82 BS to ≈$624 FN) is the purple; Seigaiha (≈$63 BS to ≈$864 FN), the metallic-blue Japanese wave pattern, is the cheapest new glove in the game; Dragon Fists (≈$71 BS to ≈$990 FN) is the red dragon-scale. All eight come only from the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal or from five of its Coverts (about $165 in Battle-Scarred on our read-day). Renders and the terminal mechanics are in the 22 new gloves.

Wear on Driver Gloves

Thin leather scuffs, and scuffing changes colour. On a Driver glove the knuckles, the fingertips and the edge of the snap cuff go pale first, so a light-hide finish (Snow Leopard, King Snake, Black Tie's white half) shows wear from about 0.30 while dark hides (Crimson Weave, Lunar Weave, Rezan the Red) hide it until the top of Field-Tested. Our rule: white and pale Drivers under 0.20 float, dark Drivers anywhere in Field-Tested, and no Driver above 0.45 unless it is a pattern like Snow Leopard whose spots survive.

Which case, and where to buy

Driver Gloves come from all seven glove cases and the Dead Hand Terminal, so every route in the complete CS2 gloves guide applies. For a Snow Leopard or King Snake we would use a float-filtered listing — CSFloat or Skinport — because the pale hide makes the float worth more than the tier; for a Racing Green or Overtake at the floor a trade bot such as Tradeit is fine if you are swapping skins you already own. Expected cost to pull any glove from a Revolution Case is about $1,000 at the reported 0.26 percent; five Revolution Coverts craft one for about $110; a listing costs $27 and lets you pick the float.
