I reloaded a lot for that dragon armour set, more that I needed to, actually (in the wastelands I was almost untouchable). In any more games I play, I would not reload for standard chests, etc and would maybe do limited reloading for the dragon set, holy item, etc.
You rarely get hit in the hands, so the armour class of the gloves are not necessarily as important as the bonuses on it. Good luck with your new character. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
