Can you trade up to gloves?
Yes. Since Valve's 2025 trade-up update, Covert skins from a collection can be traded up into one of the knives or gloves from that collection's case.
The result is random across that case's rare special items, so a trade-up can't target one glove type or finish. Gloves from the Dead Hand Terminal can't be reached this way, because the rule applies to cases only.
