I can't seem to find this anywhere. Basically I'm looking for an unlined waterproof shell mitt with a full leather palm and fingers so I can grab a hot pot handle out of a campfire. Something that can handle being used as a work glove. But the back should be lightweight nylon.
Does anyone know where I can find something like this? Everything I've looked at are fixed insulation climbing gloves/mitts.
How about a leather work glove coated in SnoSeal? Lots of people use them for skiing. Cheap.
Think outside the box. Buy some cheap kevlar protective gloves, treated the back with silicone adhesive.
If you wear a thin wool glove underneath, you can stick your hand in the fire a'plenty. Kevlar and wool is a great combo for that. The silicone adhesive makes the top of the glove much more water and UV resistant.
And yes, i've stuck my hands quite far into a fire using a the combo of outer kevlar glove with wool liner underneath. No problem.
What can i say, i'm loco ese, loco en mi cabesa.
You could probably take a leather work glove and trim away leather from the back of your hand, maybe even the tops of your fingers?
What would be left would be similar to what an archer grasps their bowstring with.
If you pick an oversized glove, you could put it on over whatever you typically wear as insulative gloves.
