Let's say I was looking for gloves that would provide protection from punctures/cuts while still providing flexibility/grip...where would I look? Something police use for searching? Chefs gloves? Fish handling gloves? Any recommendations? I'm sure the product I'm looking for is already out there, I just want to rebrand it and sell it for a certain purpose.
I'd rather just avoid places that were wet and full of snakes.
Yeah, the mate on one of our fishing trips was all about these gloves he had. He was reaching into sharks' mouths and stuff, so I guess they were pretty good. Can't say I remember anything else about them, but I'd be looking at gloves sold to the fishing industry.

You remember what color they were? I just bought some off amazon as a test.
Elk skin. Layers of elk skin.
Police search gloves are very thin usually. Maybe a kevlar front to protect from small razors, but soft back to feel though. Not waterproof at all.
A snake bite means extremely thick and tough.
Pick an end of the spectrum.
LOL Wut
$3.71
What kind of snakes? Shark teeth aren't as hypodermic-like as viper fangs. Chain mail and mesh gloves that will blunt penetration by knives and large teeth can still let the fangs through the gaps.

Best plan ever.

I'd wear some latex surgical gloves under these.

Won't work, needs to be more flexible and dry quicker.

I don't want to say exactly what I'm trying to pick up yet because I think this could be a business idea. The teeth are probably not as hypodermic needle like as a snake but definitely sharper than a shark. Maybe slightly sharper than a barracuda?
Kevlar slaughter house type gloves maybe?
I've got a pair of neoprene search gloves that are supposed to be waterproof and puncture resistant. Never tested them thoroughly in either capacity, but they've kept my hands warm and dry even after hours of snow removal.
I'll try and get you a model number this weekend. They're made by Hatch, I think.

What the heck man!
Something with Kevlar, and depending on how needle like it is, that would still be an issue.
