I never wear gloves so thick I can't tell the difference between cloth and
slick tape. It's pretty obvious. I like to use those Kevlar Friskmasters;
they're really cut-resistant, but they're shooter's gloves, so you can still
feel through them. Usually, though, I settle for Hatch's Neoprene Specialist
gloves. They're fantastic. They don't resist cutting or tearing all that
well--I've got a big hole in my thumb right now, in fact, thank you very
much--but there's nothing I can't feel while wearing them. They're made out
of wetsuit material. Good stuff. It'd be nice to have a Kevlar glove with
neoprene underfingers, but glovemakers don't really care what I think.
