After being relatively lucky getting only minor cuts over several decades while carving I have decided to purchase the protective gloves I have seen used on some of the woodworking TV shows. Someone I know narrowly escaped needing tendon repair after a cut. Fortunately he only needed skin sutures but it showed how easily serious injury could occur.
I was intending to buy Kevlar gloves but after looking online I see that there are also gloves sold made with Spectra. I need advice as to pros and cons of each material (dexterity, slipperiness, etc). The Spectra ones seem to cost more but that IMO is not a negative if they are superior.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
