Don't know how cold the water is where you dive but over here, the Papa Smurf (Atlas glove) rules. Kinda ugly but by far the best multi purpose glove I have used. Kevlar fell apart, leather absolutely sucks (got the scars from surgeons to prove it), but the simple cotton dipped in rubber works great. Streamlined so the fingers don't pull off after every band you load, really good grip for using a 3 prong pole spear, puncture resistant enough to grab lobster without hesitation, and only costs 5-6 dollars. Only drawback, it doesn't keep your hands warm. My dive partner refuses to use them because he claims his hands get cold. I never noticed my hands getting cold but I would assume for some of the frigid places you guys dive, you need a litttle insulation.
