any good leather glove. i use a cloudveil one for storm days and the leather dakine pipe glove for unstorm days.

i think predator pants have them too. instead of duct tape you can go buy some clear epoxy (in the canisters not the little tubes) from a craft or plastics store. mix up the epoxy and pour a really thin layer on the bottom of your pants. this part will stay really hard but they shouldn't tear.
