From my personal experience, Ringers Mechanics let me down. I was moving something (during a rescue training) to assist, and the edge sliced through the gloves and first layer of skin on my fingers without me feeling it. Could have been a LOT worse. I stick to Extrication now - and touch wood they've saved my hands a couple of times.
I prefer a close fitting glove and accept the risk of these being difficult to remove in times of need. I rely on my experience to not touch hot things (picked up a brake disc quadrant and associated brake pad, but dropped them as I saw the pad weld itself to the disc) and luck that I don't get hot liquids on me.
For flagging, its bare hands, unless very cold and wet, I have a pair of orange hunting gloves from the US I expect to try in North Wales this weekend.
