Linesman's insulating gloves?

[John E.]

Regarding linesman's gloves, like the Salisbury brand:

I usually see these worn with an outer leather work glove.

I wonder how someone with large (ie. size 12) hands gets a work glove over
the insulated ones. That would have to be some large glove. Are there
over-sized work gloves purpose-made to fit an insulated glove?

Anybody using such a combination that can comment?

Thanks,

I've seen them big enough for a gorilla. Seriously, they come in very
large sizes at the right resource.

Yes. Often the insulating gloves will be offered as 'kits' that
include the protective outer leather glove.

And http://www.professionalequipment.com/ apparently isn't a very good
source. Stocking only size 9 is ridiculous.

I'm not at work so I can't give you the brand, but my 500V glove
"shells" are sized for the glove underneath.

Those are protective leather gloves made specifically for use with the
insulated gloves. You must use them to prevent damage to the rubber gloves.
Also, they are shorter than the rubber ones so they don't contact your skin,
as they do not provide the dielectric insulation. They are available from
the glove suppliers for every size of insulated glove. Don't use regular
work gloves.
