I've heard of those, but never seen one. I assume they are similar to the chain mail suits that people wear when swimming with sharks.

Looks like the gloves oyster shuckers wear. You'd think you coastal boys would know that.

You can buy those gloves in Walmart here.....but we have a big oyster business. They're pretty handy to have around, but you can still hurt yourself...especially shucking oysters where the blade is dull and loads of force are applied.

Butchers/meat cutters have used gloves such as these for decades.

They're made of a super fabric called Dyneema.
They are one of many "safety" items I used to sell. Not only lightweight, but flexible, cut, and abrasion resistant. Much more safe and durable than a Kevlar glove.
