I like that idea of surgical gloves. The nitrile ones are typically
more durable than latex.  I will start keeping a pair in the recorder
bag for mosquito emergencies. John, you are right about the sweat
factor: personally I can't stand wearing them for much more than half
an hour.

In the past I just wore poly-pro liners and was happy enough until
recording in a couple extremely nasty mosquito areas last summer. Now
my gloves of choice are goat skin work gloves. They are supple enough
to operate my recording gear, and comfortable enough to wear all day
in any climate - the best $20 I spent all year.
