Better Gloves for Si-Tech rings

[Web Monkey]

I was wiping some Zebra Mussels off an anchor chain, and discovered that the little buggers are much sharper than I expected, and sliced open one of my dry-gloves (Showa/Atlas 495). A razor knife wouldn't have made a cleaner cut, and it was really quite impressive.

As you might guess, this lets in the cold water, which made me unhappy.

Is there a more cut-resistant glove available for the Si-Tech rings?

Thanks!

Depending on how cold your hands get, what about running a thin, unsupported glove under a pair of cut-resistant Atlas gloves? Idea being, hands stay dry, cut resistance is provided by thicker over-gloves. Sort of a reverse from the usual liner under the glove approach, but might be interesting to mess around with. Two issues I see are warm and dexterity.

Gloves I'm thinking of combining are all on this page:

Yeah, I thought of that, but with the Atlas 495s and the liners that come with the Si-Tech system, adding another pair of gloves over them would turn your hands into useless clubs, I think.

Using an unsupported glove under the cut resistant work gloves keeps the bulk down, you could get gloves that are close to skin tight, with enough room to have a bit of room to get some air in them to keep the squeeze off. I bet the combo of keeping your hands dry and the insulation from the work gloves would keep you hands warm enough, especially if they are used when working and moving around.
