Code:
Equip()
                if(usr.hands == 1)
                    usr << "You already have hands on!"
                    return
                if(usr.hands == 0)
                    usr << "You put [src] on!"
                    src.suffix = "hands"
                    src.on = 1
                    usr.hands = 1
                    usr.overlays += src
                    usr.armor += src.stat_gain
                    return
            UnEquip()
                if(src.suffix == "hands")
                    if(usr.hands == 1)
                        usr << "You take off [src]!"
                        src.suffix = null
                        src.on = 0
                        usr.hands = 0
                        usr.armor -= src.stat_gain
                        usr.overlays -= src
                        return


Problem description:

this is a simple equip/unequip verbs. the only trouble i am having currently is that the overlay wont remove itself when i unequip. i could overlay it as a simple /obj/equipment/chain_gauntlets but they can be dif colors so i cant do that. any ideas on how to remove the icon from overlay?

try something like:

var/list/L = src.overlays
L-=src
src.overlays=L


I'm not good with lists but it's something like that...

That won't work, you're setting his overlay objects to a list.
