Needle/cut resistant gloves - any preferences

[snowdog61]

looking at possibly upgrading my hunting gloves. i mostly lobster and collect lionfish and after a recent run in with a lionfish spine I started thinking about investing in a better glove. Previous gloves have been a goatskin gardening glove (loved it - $7 at Walmart on sale, vented mesh back, and lasted 1 1/2 seasons before the finger tips rubbed through - should have bought a few pair....) and the regular latex dipped mesh generic gardening glove (constantly getting poke throughs but cheap). Police departments regularly use puncture/cut resistant gloves (turtle skin) and I see that HexArmor has a glove that was used for lionfish collection (Sharpsmaster II). SharpsMaster is basically an upgrade on the generic dipped gardening glove and looks very promising and is a good deal cheaper than the Turtleskin. Any one have any experience with either of these or want to suggest something? Not really wanting to drop $40+ on a specialty glove that i'm not sure about

There's a brand called ninja max on amazon. They are coated dynema. Cut resistant but not puncture resistant. Very inexpensive.

I've used Dyneema gloves from a local tool supply store... about 8 bucks. Nitrile dipped, so they don't get "gummy" like the generic rubber-dipped gloves. I haven't found any glove that is truly puncture resistant...

The spearos seem to concur with your choice of Nitrile dipped Dyneema. $8 is certainly more on my price point but this was what I was looking at - Needle Puncture Resistant Gloves: SharpsMaster II® 9014 | HexArmor and yes, it's puncture resistance. Should be sufficient for a lionfish though I see that they are dipped in latex rubber and for $37 I think I can do without the gummy.
