Sport Gloves often set whether a loadout reads cold or warm. Frost (internal ID glove_sport_camo_winter; many players call it Frosty) is a new finish on the Sport Gloves line. The in-game name is short, but it signals frost, cool tones, and a winter-camouflage direction. What follows sticks to verifiable facts so you can nail wear and inspect before you spend.

Release date

Frost went live on 11 March 2026 as part of the Dead Hand Skins update. Community references such as pattern.wiki and wiki.skin.club list glove_sport_camo_winter on that date. Valve’s notes for the same patch mention seventeen weapon finishes from community creators and twenty-two brand-new gloves from the studio; Frost is one of those twenty-two and sits in the Sport Gloves family.

What defines the skin

Category: Gloves → Sport Gloves. Rarity: Ancient—the top tier for gloves, so it usually pops in inventory and inspect.

Valve’s storefront blurb is literally the name Frost with no pattern breakdown. Color placement and contrast across knuckles and palms should come from your own inspect, not from second-hand descriptions in this guide.

Wear: 0.06–0.80, from near–Factory New territory through heavy Battle-Scarred. The 0.06 floor means you cannot assume “mint”—check the exact float. The 0.80 ceiling leaves room if you like beat-up texture. The range is wide; different float bands can look like different skins and often matter more than the name when you match rifles.

What to weigh before buying

Start by narrowing the float band you will accept, then compare screenshots and prices within that band. Gloves one step off in wear can throw off the same AK, M4, or AWP pairing.

Without a long official art breakdown, value comes down to cool vs warm read, contrast, and how the glove color talks to your main rifles in inspect. Sport Gloves have a clean silhouette; Frost leans winter camo in naming and vibe. If you main AK, M4, or AWP, try cold or neutral rifle skins first, rotate inspects, and see whether the set pushes the “temperature” where you want it.

On marketplaces such as C5GAME, treat page float and screenshots as a starting point—jump back in-game for a final inspect before checkout to cut mismatches.

Bottom line: Ancient Sport Gloves, 2026-03-11 with Dead Hand Skins, wear 0.06–0.80. Align the drop date, your float window, and live inspect—that is the core Frost buying checklist.
