Default Finishing Gloves

I've been using this type of glove
http://www.bossgloves.com/htm/gloves/coated/1SN2714.htm for applying
finish
on bowls. I think they cost $6-$8/pair. After a few months I have to
throw
them out because they build up too many coats of finish and get stiff. I
have been considering switching to a cheaper glove. I like these gloves
because they have flocking on the inside, a wide gauntlet, and are stiff
enough that I can slip then on and off without turning them inside out
like
a thin latex medical glove. I often apply finish to 30 bowls at a time so
the inside of the gloves gets a little sweaty which would make removal
difficult with a skin-tight type glove. I use Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil
gunstock oil varnish as my main finish.

Anyone have recommendations for a glove that is cheaper but can be slipped
off without twisting inside out so I can reuse them a number of times?

rip resistant.

You roll them off, let 'em dry inside out if you've been sweating, invert
and give a puff of air to inflate them in the proper direction for
subsequent wear.

much.

Of course I pay for any I use in wood finishing.
