gloves w/ protection from bites??

[FijiBound]

Hello,

Does anyone know about a pair of gloves that provide protection from creatures with teeth, like a barracuda? I know there are some lobster diving gloves, and they might sound promising. I think, though, that lobster pinches might not be as brutal as barracuda teeth. Also, something I was thinking, I am a cook by trade and we have some metal mesh gloves (chainlink) that we wear for protection from the sharp knives that we use. Anyone ever incoporate this into their gloves? Any suggestions, comments are appreciated.

The Chain glove would provide some protection depending on the spacing of the rings. I perfer the method of keeping my hands out of the mouth of things that bite!

Don't stick your fingers out near things that are pointy and you'll be fine.

I'm will be doing some biological data collection on the reefs in Fiji, and I will probably be in close contact with things that are pretty darn vicious. Any type of extra protection would be nice. :huh:

have an intern stick there fingers in the mouth with the sharp teeth while the animal is busy take your data. remember you only get 10 shots at this date per. intern

you might want to either put your chain glove over or under your dive gloves. also hear kevlar goves are good but you should see this link and keep this in mind when you go:no http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=181432&highlight=eels

I have some kevlar ones for bug hunting,however I've never been brave(or foolish)enough to try them out on a baracuda. Sorry I know that wasnt any help!
