Welding gloves are usually leather-over-Kevlar; mine work fine on blackberry thorns.

How do you keep the plants from wrapping themselves around you and sucking you completely into the patch?

Did I mention that I *hate* Blackberry (all over the back of my property). Interestingly, I didn't hate it when I lived on Blackberry Road. VT blackberry must have been much better behaved. ;-)

and probably cost a lot less than these ansi rated ones that i see

although i did find a pair for about twelve bucks that is not bad

there were some that were forty

the other problem is that some are too bulky and make it hard to work with some things

the magic search words

wonder if sawstop makes any that sound an alarm at some degree of puncture
