Best gloves for...

[rubberduck]

What are the best gloves for bug hunting? I wear 5mm and seem to wear a hole in the index finger after 25 dives. This is from reaching under rocks while grapping the bugs.

I also heard there was a type of goop that you dip the finger tips in to provide another layer of durability. Anyone know what this stuff is?

I've used these for a year now with no problems

You could try Aquaseal and Cotol. Thin the Aquaseal with a few drops of Cotol and apply to the worn spots before they tear through. I've tripled the life of my gloves.

Have Fun,

I have the same pair that Capnvinny suggests but in 5mil. They are great. My warm water gloves are Akona with no neoprene but have kevlar all over. Also great, no wear issues with either pair. Don't wipe your face with Kevlar gloves on! They're very durable but rough on your skin.

Those Kevlar gloves look great, haven't tried them myself though. Send some bugs up this way sometime, my DM loves 'em!

Good luck bug hunting!
