I came across a question about improved unarmed strike and I want another opinion. The text for the battle fist (I think that is the name. I am away from my book.) sounds like it would have the potential to stack. Am I reading it right? the text states that it is basically a glove with a hard knuckle covering that uses sonic damage. There is another one that has a different damage but reads the same.
So am I reading this wrong?

I don't see anything in the Battleglove's description (page 187) that says it does sonic damage. Looking at the tables, all four variants of the battleglove deal bludgeoning damage.
The battleglove is a weapon, making the character who wears it armed. I don't see any reason to allow this to stack with Improved Unarmed Strike.

I think I was reading it last night as it being like any other glove and just fitting over the hand. It should not change the way that you would punch.

I see nothing in the description to indicate that it is not a weapon. It appears on the weapon's table, and it listed as an "Uncategorized Weapon" which, to me, means it's not just "like any other glove." Sure, it's worn the same way, but the fact that it does its own damage (varying the by the type of glove) to me would suggest that the wearer is armed.
But, I'm still pouring through the rules, so I certainly wouldn't take my answer as authoritative. I just haven't yet found anything that supports your position (but I have a lot yet to ready.)
