Where can I find Latex or Butyl gloves?

What's up with all of the BLUE gloves?

Blue doesn't match ANYTHING I wear......I just can't be seen in clashing blue and black rubber!!!!! At least not before Memorial Day. LOL

Sure would be nice if someone found some black versions of the same gloves.

Here's a good industrial supplier, gloves in the $3 - $6 range, the dive suppliers get their gloves from places like this.

The military surplus chemical gloves work great too, can be had for as little as a buck a pair at flea markets & surplus stores.

Which type of gloves do you recommend to use in a dry suit from that site, Bob3?

I sometimes use Nitrile gloves in the hospital and they aren't as flexible as latex but they are incredibly strong and puncture resistant. Can you use a large pair of nitrile gloves with liners underneath in a cuff ring system?

Now, ideally, black would be great - but slightly less insulation would be good too. I just got my dryglove setup (havent used them yet myself). I think they may be a smidge thick for some warmer diving - not that it ever gets TOOOO warm around here, dammit.

My goal this year though is to source some of these trivial items very cheaply. And i think these are good options for gloves.

Heck, I use the Endurotech. Can't stand the rings, only use those for contaminated stuff.
Try the neoprene chemical gloves, get 'em as big as you can.

Other thing is, i really only got them for a novelty. I find the wet gloves very warm as they are (and i've recently been in our 40-50 water. But i thought they looked kinda cool.

But Black would be MUCH cooler!
