TurtleSkin Snake Armor®
The world's toughest fabric on cuts, tears and punctures. Made by Warwick Mills, Inc. who patented this lightweight, waterproof, comfortable fabric (patent 5565264 & 5837623 and patent pending).
Professionals at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo have tested them with their collection.
Warwick also tested simulated snake strikes using 0.05" diameter needles at 2.63 joules successfully with no penetration, and a 0.042 needle at 2.37 pounds, which had a penetration limit of .03". So, though it is
not penetration proof, it gives very good protection with comfortable wearable fabric less than three sheets of paper thick.
TurtleSkin Snake Armor® glove repels punctures in the hand to the wrist. Only available in yellow, it works great keeping birds from pecking your hand while enabling you to manipulate and feel their delicate bones. These gloves have been tested against birds, snakes, racoons, ferrets, domestic felines and have not been punctured -- EXCEPT -- by a large king cobra and it got through the 5th chew, and a large rattler, though the venom did not penetrate and the skin was not broken.
A note about TurtleSkin SnakeArmor®. It is not completely snakebite proof, so care and diligence should still be taken when using this or any animal handling equipment.

Please note:
There is always a chance of a fang striking and penetrating a seam area. These gloves are not water proof, and thus not venom proof, if a strike should occur, please remove and clean off any venom. Do not touch venom if you have any broken skin.
