Nees some advice on gloves
Looking for a decent pair of neoprenes. I want something that's durable, not fleece lined and not bulky. Any suggestions?

Aquaskinz work well for me. Thin and warm, flexable. Can tie only big knots though.  |
If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!!

I use both the aquaskins and a pair by Warmers that you can get at REI. Both work great. Will save your hands from rock rash and your finger from braid.

No complaints w/my AS. I used them last night as I got a braid cut this weekend. As was stated, I don't believe anyone can tie small knots with them on though.

Obviously it is more difficult to tie any knot with any kind of glove on. That being said I am a bit of a knot nazi and having worked on and off charter boats since high school I have a ton of experience. Add in the fact that I wear AS gloves or finger sheild during all my fishing a dI have some thoughts to share.
In order tie ANY knot while wearing gloves all you have to do is increase the perspective when shaping the knot...by that I mean you can shape the knot bigger as if you were teaching a child or novice.
In the end it will cinch down as it is supposed to and you are less likely to make a mistake when the knot is set up in this exaggerated method. Thge only draw back is tha you have some longer tag ends.
The most common mistake people make when tying knots, never mind with gloves on is to shape the knot with too small a perspective and this is where most make mistakes in the knot anyway...tye big and cinch right. Offshore mates learn this or find a new job.

I like the AS, have 2 pairs. The first pair was a large and i thought they were too small so i got the xl, turns out the large were better. I like them tight to get better dexterity. I dont use em for finger protection as much as general hand protection for climbing on rocks and what not.
