Hi all,

I’m considering getting a set of insulated gloves. Maybe 0 class, probably don’t have to be rated for more than 1000v. I always wear regular gloves just to protect my hands but I’ve had a few corner cases scenarios where i would like to have some legit PPE for my hands, typically when moving or manipulating a live service drop during a service change. I’m sure the company would buy whatever I asked for… I just don’t know what brands are decent or anything about sizing. Like if get a size 9 rubber glove do I need a larger size leather or is that accounted for in the sizing?

Again, the instances where I actually need this kind of PPE are exceedingly rare but I would like to have it available to me if need be
