Posted By Ross Stirton I have heard that there is a company that makes a pair of leather-palmed Rigger gloves which have high-visibility fingers. They are said to have the potential to significantly reduce hand/finger injuries, as a consequence of the wearer (and other members of the rigging squad) being more conscious of hands being in hazardous positions. Has anyone come across these gloves? Any leads to who the manufacturer/importer is, and any comments from colleagues who have used them, would be much appreciated.... Regards, S R Stirton

Posted By John Webster Usually, riggers have no difficulty in making at least the first 2 fingers of the right hand very visible! :-)
