Gloves are just plain smart, especially in an outdoors environment where dirt is an ever present reality. They're like as easy bit of immediate sanitation. They weigh almost nothing, take up about as much space and very cram-in-able when it comes to packing.


Just reminding everyone of a thread I wrote once about latex gloves ( maybe other gloves will work, I dont know). Once I had a gooey mess on some of my extension cables (because someone wrapped them in duct tape and left them in a hot place) and I didn't know how to clean them. The goo stuck to everything including my hands. But when rubbed with latex gloves, it was very easily "wiped out" !!! It was amazing.
