★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Field-Tested)

The ★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Field-Tested) carries the finish's black leather and varnished green emblem into its most common condition. It's the middle ground of the range — visible wear, but still a clear step above the roughest grades, at a friendlier price than the top two.

Design

The finish stays built around black leather with the varnished green emblem as its one accent. It's a compact, two-tone design without any extra decals layered on top, which keeps the look consistent no matter the condition.

★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested spans 0.15 to 0.38 within the finish's 0.06–0.80 range. Here the leather starts to show honest fading and light creasing across the knuckles and fingers, while the emblem remains visible even if it's lost a touch of its gloss. It's a wear level that reads as used without looking rough.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Rarity

Rarity: Extraordinary ★ — the glove rarity tier, the rare special "glove" item drawn from its case pool. Landing any finish in this tier is a rare case pull, whatever wear it comes out in.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Case

Emerald comes out of the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case, giving it two possible sources rather than one. Both cases place gloves in the rare special "glove" tier, which drops at about 0.28% of openings — a rate spread across every glove finish available, not weighted toward this one.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Pattern and Colorway

Every copy of Emerald shares the same fixed black leather and green emblem — there's no paint seed and no "blue gem" version to look out for. The only real variable from one pair to the next is float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak™ variant exists for this finish, or for gloves generally, since there's no kill-tracking mechanic built into them. Souvenir is likewise absent, as Souvenir items are only handed out through Major-tournament packages, which gloves never appear in.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Price

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the Emerald ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New while still clearly ahead of the two worn grades below it. It's the balance point for buyers who want the design without paying grail-tier prices for the cleanest float. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a good value grade for Emerald?

For most buyers, yes. It costs meaningfully less than the top two grades while still showing the black leather and green emblem clearly, making it the wear level a lot of players settle on when they don't need the lowest possible float.

How worn does the Field-Tested Emerald look?

Expect visible fading and light creasing on the knuckles and fingers, more than Minimal Wear but nowhere near the heavier scuffing on Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred. The green emblem stays identifiable even with that wear present.

Does the green emblem still show clearly at Field-Tested?

Yes, though it loses a touch of the gloss it has at the cleaner grades. The emblem is still easy to make out on close inspection, and it remains one of the more recognizable details of the finish at this wear level.
