Question Nomex aircrew gloves

Hello Gents

A while ago someone posted a link to a place where we could buy flying clothing like Nomex gloves and flightsuits...

I bookmarked the link at the time but I had to re-format my hard drive and loss it so if anyone in the know could post it again, I would appreciated it.

Thanks and Happy Holidays everyone.

Doug had posted gloves at Tina's IIRC.

I bought my nomex gloves and head/neck protection from Summit Racing and already had a nomex flight suit.

Ebay has a lot of nomex items. I bought my gloves and socks there.

I try to support Doug's advertisers so I bought a pair from Tina's a couple of years ago when she had a special going. Top quality.

Right, she presently has the regular Nomex on sale for $29.99. I've got an email to her asking if she can get the Touch Screen Compatible gloves.

Best bang for the buck on nomex suits is going to be eBay. http://www.ebay.com.

Most of the retailers carry nomex gloves, mine came from Aircraft Spruce.

As the original request came from Canada it may be a lot easier to buy in Canada rather than deal with the border.
