Thanks to everyone, I knew if my wife couldn't help me the KBBS could! ;-)

Erez- My problem with any non-breathing glove thusfar is only sweat, but we're talking major-league action. I can't believe my hand's reaction to those gloves.

I did develop rashes during construction, but I believe it's from the cedar powder. I get red rashes on my wrists and in the creases of the arm. I am able to control them by frequent washing. They were worst yesterday when I blew out the garage of all dust after sweeping & vacuuming. I would strongly recommend everyone wear a good dusk mask when sanding, can't imagine developing that kind of rash on the inside of one's lungs.

On the ergonomic computer pads - I owned a computer sales & service business here in Sarasota for 20 years, closed it the end of last year (been bumming with you kayak-types mostly since). Anything you can do do protect your wrists and neck during computer usage is a big plus. Make sure your monitor is placed for level viewing when sitting upright, and the "mouse arm" lays in a relaxed and supported position during use. It's amazing how many chronic maladies result from not following these simple guidelines. Those gel pads are rather comfortable, glad you discovered them!
