Where did they go? All I see in the shops, or online, are these 1 mil plus neoprene BS gloves. Great for colder water.
Looking for old fashioned, a couple mm reef gloves like from the 70-80s. They give excellent dexterity. I can feel all my buttons. Did they go the way of the dinosaurs and true jacket BCDs? (Which I miss greatly compared to the cummerbund crap)
Anyone with clue? Bonus points for colors and not black.
Thank you
 
I’ve had good luck with Pinnacle Amara palmed gloves and Mako’s puncture resistant gloves for warm water wreck dives.
 
I think that you might be talking about the kind of gloves I've always had.... thin tropic weight gloves, but the palms and fingers have a sort of fake suede.
I'm partial to the light/white color palms and fingers. I feel like it's better for flashing hand signs

I was buying my daughter pair of gloves recently and I didn't see any like them...and I kind of need a new pair for myself too! She did get something fairly close...but not exactly what i want.
 
How did these look like? Like electrician gloves?

Is this something a long the same line? I found this when buying some regs and I could part with it

You’re looking for Amara gloves. A few companies make them. I’ve been happy with Pinnacle’s version.
