★ Hand Wraps | Constrictor (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Hand Wraps | Constrictor are fabric wraps printed with a snakeskin scale pattern in orange, copper and tan, wound over dark brown fingerless gloves. In Factory New the scales stay sharp and the warm colours look saturated across the knuckles and wrist. This is the cleanest way to see the reptile print as it was designed.

Item type: gloves. Extraordinary is the gloves rarity: in cases they are the rare special item, above any weapon skin.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The wraps are wound diagonally over the knuckles, back of the hand and wrist, each band printed with a snakeskin scale pattern. The scales mix orange, copper and tan with olive-green shading toward the band edges, giving a mottled reptile look. Underneath, the fingerless gloves, palm and finger sections are plain dark brown, and a small label sits on the cuff. On worn copies the knuckles and the overlapping band edges lose colour and detail first, while the wrist area holds the print longer.

Factory New occupies only a narrow band at the bottom of this skin's float range. The scale print is crisp on every band, including the knuckles. Colours are at full saturation and the dark base gloves look clean. In game the pattern reads as a sharp, warm snakeskin.

• Compare how the warm colours look in your usual first-person view, because worn copies turn noticeably browner.
• Gloves cannot carry stickers or name tags, so judge the pair only by the condition of the print.
