I need a recomendation for non-leather work gloves for handling hot lighting equipment. I'm in a television and video production program and leather gloved were recommended, but I'm certainly not going to buy those. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you use wool, there are several wool-lined non-leather varieties on that site as well.

But wool isn't vegan either, he said vegan gloves in the title.

Fair enough. I was reading the original message (which asked for 'non-leather') rather than the title.

but the link showed cotton lined vegan gloves. BPS was just giving a option. jeez, is everyone that anal retentive?

Neoprene gloves would work. These ones look good: http://www.copquest.com/12-1413.htm

Funny how no one had anything constructive to offer in this thread, but they sure had a lot to flap their lips about once someone offers a suggestion (with a link to vegan gloves). Way to be helpful guys!

I get mine from here.

They're completely wool free.

Hope that helps.

If not, would something Kevlar be an option?

Cheers!

Thanks for the input. Does anyone know if good gloves can be found at typical store?

I'd check out home depot, they might have something you like.

Painters gloves or gardners gloves can be made out of fabric (cotton), depending on the thickness, they might work for you

Ever considered oven mitts?

(mitts aren't that easy to work with)

The Ove Glove

Features Dupont Nomex and Kevlar to withstand heat up to 480 degrees Farenheit.

at your local housewares retailer (walmart, whatever)

480 degrees enough for hot lighting equipment?
