Default Linesman's insulating gloves?

Regarding linesman's gloves, like the Salisbury brand:

I usually see these worn with an outer leather work glove.

I wonder how someone with large (ie. size 12) hands gets a work glove
over the insulated ones. That would have to be some large glove. Are
there over-sized work gloves purpose-made to fit an insulated glove?

Anybody using such a combination that can comment?

Thanks,


Those are protective leather gloves made specifically for use with the
insulated gloves. You must use them to prevent damage to the rubber gloves.
Also, they are shorter than the rubber ones so they don't contact your skin,
as they do not provide the dielectric insulation. They are available from
the glove suppliers for every size of insulated glove. Don't use regular
work gloves.
