    I am looking for long vinyl medical gloves, you know above the elbow. I use the regular vinyl gloves but the fill with water, I want to be covered up to the elbow. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, with my chicken girl arms and lack of man hands :) the Coralife gloves don't work for me at all. They slip down, fill with water and offer me almost no dexterity when working with "delicates." They sell "disposable" thin plastic gloves that go to the elbow and I found that if I rubberbanded them to my elbow or bicep, they would work like a charm. They do puncture easily though so don't plan on doing much rock rearranging with them or anything.

    I know there are some out there that have a strap that wraps around your back and can be adjusted. Don't know who makes them and from what I've seen they are heavy thick rubber. They might be used for fishing?

    I believe those are the same gloves in the link that Jason posted. I personally don't care for them.

    have you tried a local co-op place? or any place that would deal with farming.... they use some gloves for "artificially insiminating" cattle and stuff...if ya need to know what that means, ask someone else... i'll just tell you that its a good idea to have these gloves if you ever need to do it..but yeah, these gloves would do great to keep your arms dry up to, and probably past your elbows...
