Ruber Sleeves or No Sleeves

[Pluckingpheasant]

This will probably be like kicking a hornets nest. I hope I am on the right thread.

I would appreciate your opinions about why rubber sleeves are worn or not for rubber glove working?

In the UK all linesmen wear them but there are other countries that decided not too. I'm interested as to the reasoning behind each company decision as to why or why not.
I have my own views but do not wish to share just yet as they may flavour anyones personal views.
