A friend, who lives alone, cut herself rather badly and now wants to buy a Kevlar or mesh-type glove. Any favorites?

QUESTION: Anyone here have a guard-type glove for protection when cutting? What do you recommend?

The chef at our school recommends a heavy duty chainmail like the one...
...in this link.
He says the accident prone amongst us need more protection than some of the ones made for the kitchen provide, adding, "there's nothing more frustrating than spending a bunch of money on a fancy glove and then having it fail when needed".
Sounds like the voice of experience to me.

That looks pretty tough, but I'm afraid she cannot afford that one.

Found a couple sites with gloves under $20 dollars. Target has 'em (see link) and so does KMart >

I'll pass these all on to her. Thanks to Both of you.
Mesh or kevlar?
Just googled "butcher gloves" and got lots of hits. Now I'm wondering whether the mesh gloves would be better than the kevlar (all under $20). I've got a friend who's afraid to use her mandelin and this sounds like a great solution. Any thoughts?

I doubt she'll be happy with the Kevlar...so bulky...
But this might be something in between...
When I was still in the Food Service Dept. we had a special glove for handling and cleaning the Hobart Slicer...basically, a steel thread or two woven into the knit of the gloves. Not enough so you have no feeling and tactile sensation, but enough so that you won't get cut badly. You might get nicked, but there won't be sutures needed. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
