Where can I find Latex or Butyl gloves?

[Windknot]

Looking to purchase via online/catalog plain uninsulated latex or butyl dry suit gloves. I have the rings and liners, just need some new gloves.

Only thing I seem to find is the blue ones with insulation and/or rings included.

Got the rings, just lookin' for some more gloves.

p.s. I know there are some on eBay, looking for non-auction source.

Wind,
I found a place in Guelph, Ont. that sells all kinds of gloves. 3 of us picked up 50mil butyls for $6-$7 a pair. They work very well. Service was prompt. Website is WWW.PROBUY.NET

Hope this helps.

There is a person selling butyl gloves on ebay. He is a diver and says that they are the best gloves for diving.

See if they are what you are looking for.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far. I have ordered a couple of pair of the gloves that lakesdiver suggested. One in a size 9 and the other in a 10.

The company has a pretty good "volume" discount. buy more than one pair and they immediately drop a buck a pair. Good deal.

How easy do they stretch over a ring I wonder....

I'll know soon enough and will post my thoughts and such.

Thanks again,

Wind,

I misread your post and have probably lead you astray. I've got the double ring set in which the glove is held in one ring with a heavy o-ring. That's the kind of set for which I bought my gloves. I don't know if they'll work for the kind of set you described in your last post. Sorry for misleading you.

Just bought 3 pairs as backups from the place that Waterlover suggested. They are the identical to the gloves that came with my bare dryglove (ring attachements) package. 15 bux or so US a pair. Though it was quite a good deal.

Its the 490s that you are looking for.

The other thing i think you'd want to be careful of is cotton lining. Pretty sure the lining in those atlas gloves is some kind of synthetic which would be much better in wet environments (even if they are dry gloves).

Has anyone seen those in black?

I know where you live.......LOL.

Just kidding. If they dont work, I'm out a big whopping $15.00.

If they dont work, doesn't matter any way....I'll eventually buy a different set of rings at some point.

If they dont work and I dont buy some rings, they'll be there if anyone needs a spare, or I need some patching material.

I'm new to dry gloves anyway, I probably should have described my system a little better.

Problem with gloves....is there is no one/single "DIR Approved" glove and ring system yet.

It sounds like we have the same system anyhoo, I think....maybe.....sort of......

what the hell....if they dont fit/work...at least I have a nice set of long black rubber gloves for when I am chopping up my victims in a bathtub with a chainsaw :mean:
