Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze sits in the ancient tier and leans hard into green-and-white contrast—one of the Sport Gloves finishes people name-check most often. Lore ties them to the Icarus Competitive Association; the in-game name Hedge Maze fits the palette, but your inspect is what seals the deal.

<i>Only cowards fear flying close to the sun.</i>

| Float | 0.06 – 0.80 |

Green-white reads loud on Sport Gloves’ shape and pad layout—third-person flicks and reloads make the arms a focal point. Ancient rarity keeps it in the “signature green-white Sport Gloves” conversation. Float starts at 0.06, so Factory New and low floats stay tight; 0.80 cap means Battle-Scarred exists—inspect brightness, edge crispness, and white “pop” shift a lot by tier, and listings usually ladder with float.

What to check in inspect

Official copy sets the vibe; satisfaction is inspect-driven. Spin the view on back of hand, knuckles, and wrist blend—confirm green-white placement matches your taste, not just the store thumbnail. If you’re wearing them long-term, peek the same pair on two maps / lighting setups before committing. For budget, anchor on ~0.06 FN vs mid-float tradeoffs inside 0.06–0.80.

Loadout tip: Clean “arena” loadouts—simple rifle bodies, same-family primaries, or muted sticker stacks—let Hedge Maze anchor the fit. Demo and clip watchers get solid read from spectator cam.

Shopping verdict

Worth it if you want a recognizable ancient Sport Gloves green-white piece from the Glove Case pool and you’re happy paying for float + inspect quality. Pause if you’re chasing hype without checking hand-specific pattern—this skin lives or dies on how the white breaks on your float.

Before checkout, compare same-float listings and recent sales on C5; ancient glove supply and attention move with the meta and seasons.

Editor’s aside

Hedge Maze is the glove people bring up when someone says “green Sport Gloves”—not because it’s the only option, but because the contrast survives motion better than flat greens. Icarus lore is gravy; float floor 0.06 is the real FN tax. BS at 0.8 can look washed in inspect—fine for flex, rough if you care about knuckle definition. Treat it like any ancient case skin: inspect first, market second, then decide if it’s your daily driver or a screenshot pair.
