Gloves that can stand up to bolt snaps?

[BarryNL]

One of the more annoying things about tech equipment is the rate at which all the bolt-snaps destroy gloves. I seem to have endless pairs of perfectly good gloves except for the holes in the thumb.

Does anyone know of any good makes/brands of 5mm gloves with some sort of reinforced thumb to extend their life a bit?

Using brass bolts?

My PVC gloves haven't had any issues.

You should see what it does to very wet thumbs! I was puzzled the first few dives when I had all these little cuts on my thumb. Now I'm just more careful when opening boltsnaps (gloves or not).

Get ones with kevlar inserts in the fingers (and palms too if needed).

Neoprene wet gloves - I prefer to use dry gloves only if they're needed.

Bit of a girly lace type look, don't you think?

What kind of clips are you using. Brass or stainless?
