Good gloves

I just tried a new pair of gloves for painting and I'm in love!!  They are packaged by Tamiya as hobby gloves (or some such thing), but I think they are made by someone else.  They aren't latex or vinyl.  Don't really know what the heck they are made from.

Why do I love them?  They fit my hands - I've got large paws and the latex gloves never fit and tend to rip out easily.  These gloves come in small, medium, large, and extra large.  I've got the extra large, and they almost seem a tad big.  Also, unlike latex gloves, my hands don't sweat like mad or end up smelling like latex for the next two days.  When I took the gloves off, it almost felt like my hands had been moisturized.  After cleaning my airbrush, and getting thinner all over them, there was no hint of wear or tear.  They look like they should last a pretty long time unless they get torn or punctured.  They are kind of pricey at $5 per pair, but I think they are well worth it.

Actually, that's not too bad of a price...some of the "discount" stores around here sell them for 9.99 !!!!
  Great gloves for all sorts of things.
