This pair of comfortable 24″ arm length black rubber gloves are great for gold panning and anything else requiring your hands to work in cold water. They feature a textured grip and not only protect your hands from prolonged exposure to water, but perhaps more importantly protect you from abrasion and cuts while working mixed gravel and sharp edged rocks.  The gloves are not insulated which is good for moderately water temperatures, but also have ample interior space for thermal gloves when needed in extra cold conditions. The 24″ length will help prevent the tendency to accidently go over the top of the glove, which often happens with shorter gloves. All in all these gloves are perfect to help protect your hands while you work a gold pan or sluice box or even while dredging in shallow water.
