I like them so far. Great value for the comfort- I'm been shamelessly proselytizing dry gloves to all my dive buddies since I got them.
 
I recently bought these from Grainger:
ANSELL Chemical Resistant Glove, Sz 11, PR - Chemical Resistant Gloves - 1AZ32|29-865 - Grainger Industrial Supply

I haven't dived them yet, but I'm sure they'll be fine. I had been diving these:

I found them in an outdoor store on the coast- the only downside is that the biggest size was just a skosh too small, causing me to use thinner liners than I think I'll need for this winter. Any kind of an unsupported neoprene glove in this thickness range can be substituted. The thing with the flocking- so far, they've been fine but theoretically they might back off the rings after a few dives if they get stretched out enough. Maybe- I just haven't dove them enough to say as I installed the rings this summer. Fortunately, these gloves are cheap. My local dive shop sells some thicker rubber gloves, but I don't know much about them except that they were a lot more money. For now, the thin ones will work for photography- if I was crabbing or digging for clams it'd be a different story. Hope this helps.
