    Default glove question

    last winter i was rockin some 5mil lobsters. the only thing is that they get all torn up and ripped apart from shells/rocks. i was wondering if anyone knew which gloves are the most durable and tare resistant?

    thanks

    If you want them for skimming, they wouldn't work.

    how well do the mitts work out for you? i got some 5mm gloves, but my fingers feel like they get frost bitten if i skim in anything below 25 degrees.

    I want lobsters or mittens. My 5 finger gloves kill me. Frostbite to the point of wanting to chew my hand off from pain

    the worst is when you take them off and like a minute later the pain comes
