Shitty Plastic Gloves?

[cyberTripping]

What if instead, science got some kind of "industrial gloves" that heavily limit what you can interact with and maybe even weighed you down a little, but they made it possible to handle scary hazardous things like light grenades, or touch artifacts etc without risk of getting jabbed with chems or sucked in and borged or whatever other nastiness. That'd make a bit more sense than randomly giving latex gloves that functionality.

edit: also give scientists glove boxes. idk how theyd really be useful in ss13 but damn are they cool
