Prickly Pear Cactus, Help!

Misc.

Hi - Hope someone can give me some ideas how to protect my hands - I've got a project facing me where I have to do some serious weeding right in and around my prickly pear cacti in my rock garden. I've tried regular cloth gardening gloves and of course the little prickers just go right through them. I even used a pair of thin suede gloves thinking that would help, but even then I get them. Last spring, I used latex nursing gloves, and believe it or not, those were the best but still a problem.

Any other ideas?? TIA for help
