Al was probably talking about the Xerotech gloves made by Helios, a company
in England.  You can also get them from MarVel in New Jersey.  I mail
ordered a few pair from MarVel this past spring.

They have their own seal on the wrist so you don't need rings.  They come in
three varieties:

Orange:  This is the regular glove and looks just like the gloves sold by
DUI

Blue:  This is the heavy duty glove.  It has thicker rubber and is
triple-dipped or something.  I use it for wreck diving and catching king
crab in winter.

Yellow:  This is for handling chemicals.
