the ground crew on tornado sqns used to get ' worn ' gloves from the squippers which were exactly as stated on this description..they were used in conjunction with the immersion suits, they were green, they had the internal wrist cuff and were made of a slightly thicker material to the ' original ' white ones so may infact be WATER RESISTANT... can't see a cessna pilot needing a pair though ! if he ends up in the 'ogin' can't see a pair of levi's, adidas trainers AND a pair of 'gucci' water resistent gloves helping much...
