water inside them gloves ?? water & electricty dont mix. I would prefer air & powder. Thats what this discusion has been about. Just call the electric co.
 
If you've ever worked in hot gloves in warm weather, you found out real quick about 'water' in your gloves.

The water test I was referring to was a simple, in the field , quick test for pinpricks, r sumptun. NOT a proper dielctric(?) test. Don't forget the insulating rubber is covered by heavy leather gloves.

We have few buried lines down here. And tons of trees.
 
Sorry Butch.... you still haven't convinced me on needing the gloves.

By the way, the proper way to test them for pinpricks is to blow them up with air. Water (being self-cohesive) wouldn't necessarily drip through a pinhole.
