outdoor use

Welding gloves are usually leather-over-Kevlar; mine work fine
on blackberry thorns.

How do you keep the plants from wrapping themselves around you and
sucking you completely into the patch?

Did I mention that I *hate* Blackberry (all over the back of my
property). Interestingly, I didn't hate it when I lived on Blackberry
Road. VT blackberry must have been much better behaved. ;-)

and probably cost a lot less than these ansi rated ones that i see

although i did find a pair for about twelve bucks that is not bad

there were some that were forty


the other problem is that some are too bulky and make it hard to
work with some things
