So I volunteer with a family community theater company. I'm usually in charge of stage crew for our main productions.
In the past, I have used regular work gloves from Home Depot for picking up and moving large sets, as well as using the fly-rail system to bring in our ariel sets.
The problem is a pair of gloves rarely lasts more than a show or 2. Plus, I lose tons of dexterity as they are too thick. The palms get shredded from using the fly-rail system.
This time, I decided to get a pair that were designed for handling ropes:
They are actually intended for K9 handling. The palms are kevlar-lined.
I can't wait for tech week.
